Just wonderful...

Guess I am changing a whole bunch of log-ins tonight, changing credit card numbers tomorrow and setting up credit monitoring through my bank.

Whee...

3. OH, NOOOOOO!!!!!
You don't have a PlayStation?

I don't even know what one looks like.

Never in my life have I played a video game.

I stick to stringed instruments.

Don't I owe you a CD or something?

Try as I may, I have never gotten that other song (you know) right again.

5. Nope... no video games.. no play station, delete games from computers
and cell phones as soon as I get them. I've got no inherent issue with them, but I (frankly) waste enough time as it is on other things.

Oh, Yes... BAKER STREET! ;) Keep trying!

"Anonymous to Sony: It isn't us."

7. Oh please.
99% of Anonymous doesn't have the technical competence to do this, the other 1% if they did it at all didn't do this under the guise of "Anonymous".

6. Was it compromised because you were using the same password for both? What happened? nt

8. Yes, I think that is probably it (yes, my fault for having the same on both)
Tried to log into my email tonight, kept telling me my password is wrong. I was then put through some id tests and the email service told me the account looks to have been compromised. So yeah, someone logged in as me and changed the password.

Thankfully, I know what credit card is associated with my PSN account, so I will take care of that tomorrow.

9. Only reason I ask is because I'm not entirely sure what was breached and what was stored
Stay on top of the credit card. Hopefully it'll be a low-BS process for everyone affected.
