Am I the only one reacting on this? It's like they make it sound like YOU need to take care when it's they are the one to blame.
Same with Skype on Android when they sent you an messaging telling you that YOU should be careful to install software because they have made a security hole for that software.
- danparsonson 15y agoI think what they mean is that the information harvested may now be used to perpetrate such scams - imagine receiving an email specifically addressed to you, containing information that you thought only Sony knew about. Would be pretty convincing (and people fall for less convincing emails all the time). Or a phone call? "Hi it's Bob from PSN here, we need to update your account with new card details following the recent security breach" etc.
