Dear Customer,
We have recently discovered the possibility of unauthorized access to personal information on PLAYSTATION®Store (PC), a content download service of PLAYSTATION®Network.
Protection of personal data is Sony Computer Entertainment's highest priority. Please be assured that we have taken immediate measures to rectify this issue and system security has been restored.
Although very unlikely, it is possible that your password to Sign In to PLAYSTATION Network may have been changed through unauthorised access, making it possible to view users’ personal information and/or use the Wallet for the PLAYSTATION Store. PLAYSTATION Network accounts do not display entire credit card numbers, so any unauthorised access to your
PLAYSTATION Network account is very unlikely to compromise your credit card number.
In order to confirm that you are not affected by this unauthorized account activity, please Sign In to your PLAYSTATION Network account using your preset password.
Then:
1) If you are able to Sign In normally then you are not affected and need take no further action; or
2) If you cannot Sign In, or if you have forgotten your preset password please follow the instructions to reset your password (by clicking the [Forgotten Password] link on the PLAYSTATION Network Sign In screen at https://store.playstation.com/login.gvm) and check that no suspicious account activity has occurred.
If you do notice any irregularities with your account please call your local Customer Services on 01923 653504 or alternatively e-mail us at help@uk.playstation.com.
PLEASE NOTE:
SCEE will never contact you directly to ask for any personal details or passwords.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
