Just because data is "encrypted", does not mean it's safe...
Where are the keys stored? How is the data used? If you ever want to be able to retrieve the data (eg to use it) then you must have the key, perhaps the data was encrypted and whoever broke in was able to steal the keys as well?

I have seen MANY implementations where some or other security standard says that data should be encrypted, so they store it on an encrypted filesystem which is currently mounted (therefore the key is already in memory) and often configure the system to store the key so it can reboot without a user having to manually re-enter the key. All this pretty much negates any benefit from having encryption at all, but is often enough to satisfy various security standards.

It may be just coincidence but almost £2000 was fleeced from my bank account also in february by a dodgy amazon seller using my amazon details, they ordered cheap iphone cases from their store (in germany) at greatly inflated prices (i think it was for about 10 cases lol!), I never recieved anything so am sure it was the store owners (which i informed amazon of) who promptly ceased trading after the scam, the similarity is that stupid me used the same email/password combo for amazon as for PSN, for those who don't know Amazon store you card details for one click ordering so all you need is to login and order.

Now it may be a coincidence but either way someone somewhere had access to that unique email/password combo that i stupidly used (I have changed it now) only on amazon, ebay and PSN, because i trusted their security.

Moral of the story, change any accounts you use with the same email/paswword combo. Luckily my bank refunded the money.

ever heard of psn cards people never use cc info on videogame machine unless u know they r using Payment Card Industry Compliant servers

For all you who stick up for sony , wake the hell up
They are supposed to have a higher level of encryption for YOUR/MY personal info
They obviosly knew about this for a little while
They do not delete info and there has been no widespread emails or at least I have not recieved one. their actions state they couldn't care less about the consumer or the laws that pertain to the shady crap they've been doing for years
If they can get away with anything at all they will do it
Now watch the backpedal show as the authorities/public sector bring litigation
NOW YOU KNOW WHY THEY WANTED TO STOP JBCFW
WAKE UP
So go cancel those cards and get new ones today
The second my bank sniffs an intrusion EVERYONE is notified
Sorry for all the yelling but I needed to get it out
SONY just like massengill but douchier
Rant over
