The result of the outage, as users were notified on Saturday, was to rebuild the network security in light of an unwanted, external intrusion. Now Sony has come forth and issued an update declaring that personal user information was stolen during the intrusion.

The data includes usernames, passwords, names, birth dates, addresses, purchase history and, Sony warns, potentially credit card information. Here's how Sony's putting it...

"...we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained..."
