The ABC has just run the story of an Adelaide PSN user whose credit card has been compromised in the wake of the PSN breach. His card has racked up $2000 of debt over the past couple of days.
Rory Spreckley noticed that the charges were preceded by a handful of $1 charges, a technique cyber criminals typically use to test if credit card details check out.
"I logged into my bank account just to check everything was OK and I found out there was some just over $2,000 in charges which I didn't personally accrue," claimed Spreckley.
Although we can't be 100% sure if this is related to Sony's breach, this is a timely reminder to be vigilant with your details, and contact your bank the second you see any suspicious activity on your account.
