As we posted a few weeks ago, Sony's Play Station network was infiltrated by hackers. The story got worse, after that though. Their Sony Entertainment Online network for computer based games was also compromised and credit card information was most likely obtained by hackers.
As part of Sony's apologies, they are going to be offering free identity theft protection for over 100 million of it's users.
