Sony forced to shut down PlayStation Network

The Japanese company is warning the network’s 77 million users that a hacker may have stolen their personal information. It happened sometime last week. And it could be the biggest data breach ever.

The Sony PlayStation is a gaming console. The PlayStation is also a gateway to an Internet connected network that lets users buy all things after turning over personal data and credit card information.

The network’s 77 million users submitted email addresses, birthdates, passwords, security questions and more.

Sony released this statement Tuesday to all of its users:

“We believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided:” the statement said. “Your name, address, country, email address, birth date, PS network, login and handle, and PlayStation ID. It’s also possible your profile data, including purchase history and billing address, your PlayStation network password security answers, may also have been obtained. While there is no evidence that credit card data was taken at this time, we cannot rule out the possibility."
