    That is Awesome. I remember joking that people should demand credit monitoring from Sony. I give Sony props for doing this. They messed up bad but seem to be handling it very well. Almost to the point I wish I was effected :-P

    This is kind of the standard corporate response to identity theft. A class action will follow, and those involved will get 2-3 years protection. A fund will be setup to pay out to those who can prove damages from the identity theft (fund won't ever be touched except by lawyers), and some money will be donated to some bs non-profit identity theft educational organizations.

    That is my guess anyways.

    Just had some fraudulent activity on my credit card that was associated with my PSN account. Fortunately, AmEx is pretty good about catching these things and freezing the account until I call.

    Anyway, got my code for AllClear ID and registered this afternoon. Registration was a piece of cake. Still frustrated that I have to do this.

    I read "Sony" as "Sorry" in the first sentence. I'm reluctant to sign up for identity protection because of the sheer volume of spam they generate when renewal rolls around and with the low volume of transactions on my accounts it's pretty easy to tell which ones I made.
