PSN users around the
world have been booting up their various consoles only to be confronted
with a message saying their passwords are incorrect. They've then had to
go through the rigmarole of creating new login details, usually while
still in the dark as to what happened to their accounts in the first
place -- and whether they might have been
hacked.
Sony has since put out an explanation via various official channels in
the US, EU and Japan, saying that only "some" users have been affected
and that the password resets are "purely a precautionary measure" for
"routine protection." We've contacted the company for clarification on
its policy about contacting users individually in this sort of
situation, and also to see if we can find out a little more about this
"non-specific" threat to certain accounts.
