Another day, another cloud disaster....

I am sure glad I closed all my Sony accounts. They seem unable to keep thier users information safe.

I see no problem with this. Just a layer of protection. We have been doing basically the same thing with plastic cards for many years in the Financial Services. Irregular activity puts a card in a temporary black status (or perm block depending on the scenario) and the user must "reset" the status.

I read this after my account was hacked today. Lovely!

sony are absolutely terrible when it comes to acounts and password i've been tryingto reset mine for hours and I did the email clicked the link reset it but then when i go to sign in again it says NO! they are crap...

Yeah this is just an extra layer of protection. It's nothing significant; email providers like Gmail and Outlook Mail also do something similar. If the provider detects that a user is logging in from an unusual location, it looks the account and requires a password reset. This happened to me once when I went on vacation and accessed my email from another country

So glad I removed my credit card info way before their first major break-in. Haven't used the account since.

I woke up a couple weeks back with 150 bucks added to my wallet. Sony refunded me no problems, but I canceled the card with that account and will only use the pre-paid cards from now on.

Again... Sony hacked on a large scale. Securing your account/bank information is low on their list of priorities.
