Sony officially Apologizes for the PS3 Vulnerability and Network Hack, we deserve more than just an apology because this should never have happened.
Hackers who discovered a way to hack into the system where they could access PSN accounts is terrible because not only can they change passwords they can also use peoples credit, thank god the hackers cannot access credit card information or use Visa cards because that could have been mayhem.
A new patch closing down this exploitation should be released pretty soon. A word of warning please try and access your PSN account just to make sure no one has changed your password.
More information can be found via JP Playstation.com (in Japanese though, sorry).
