It looks like the same hack that resulted in millions of PSN users’ personal details being stolen extended to Sony Online Entertainment, as early reports today indicated. Sony has posted the details here. The gist? Your name, address, email, phone number, among other things are indeed at risk.

On the bright side, credit card information was not accessed, and passwords were hashed. Still, keep an eye on all your accounts and stay vigilant.
