SONY PlayStation gamers expressed shock and disappointment yesterday at a massive data hack in which their names, addresses and credit-card details might have been stolen from the PlayStation Network.
Shoppers at London video-games stores said they might leave the network, PSN, which allows them to play games with 77 million other members and buy games online, while some gamers writing in online forums called for a boycott of Sony products.
Sony Corp said on Tuesday that the credit card data of PlayStation users around the world may have been stolen in a hack that forced it to shut down its network for the past week, disconnecting 77 million user accounts.
The Japanese electronics giant advised users, almost 90 percent of whom are based in Europe and the United States, to change any common passwords they also used for other services.
