It's going to be interesting to see how many claims of credit card fraud get blamed (rightly or wrongly) on PSN. A quick google estimated the chance of fraud at about 5% of users per year (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/7619502/internet-use-increases-chances-of-card-fraud.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/7619502...).
Stretching the stats, that means around 75,000 people a week who used PSN could be fraud victims. I'm not saying anything about cause and effect, but Sony are going to get a huge amount of blame regardless - if a card is used, there's a good chance you'll blame PSN.
It would be interesting if there are a slew of Sony-related fraud stories, but it turns out that the CC numbers weren't actually stolen / in a usable form!
