I know we’re all pissed about the PSN outage, but at some point you gotta feel bad for Sony. Engadget, via Nikkei.com, has confirmed that Sony has had another breach resulting in the release of 12,700 credit cards numbers, with at least 4300 of them being Japanese and unknown number from various other countries. The exposed data is from 2007, so the number of valid credit cards exposed should be limited, but there is the possibility of other info having been leaked as well. In response, SOE’s services were taken offline yesterday. This comes on the heels of Kaz Harai’s announcement a few days ago that the PSN breach could had caused the loss of 10 million credit card numbers.

So what does all this mean? Well, if you were playing Everquest, Free Realms, or DC Universe Online, you’re SOL. You still can’t play games online on your PS3. You can possibly brute force your way into Netflix, if you’re lucky. You can’t get any PS3 DLC. And if you had a credit card tied to almost any Sony Online services, be it an MMO or PSN, there is a chance it’s been compromised…
