    Well....shit.

    I guess saving info wasn't the wisest thing...ehm, does anyone know how to erase it?

    No sense in worrying about it. I'm pretty sure I chose not to save any credit card details on Steam as well. Though, there will be a tonne of folk that have saved their info on it.

    Jeez, that's the second time a service I send money across was hacked.

    Really gotta try and keep a lid on my info from now on...

    Hmm, funny. It just so happens that I just made an account. Luckily I haven't purchased anything, so no payment information was "hacked." that does stink though, but if I ever purchase such things I usually try to use a card. (like for the PSN, I always buy the "gift cards", that way its all safe.)

    This is ridiculous, first the PSN, then this? I was actually thinking if I should get an account there. Ouch. Hope not much damage wasn't too bad.
