Details are still sparse (and primarily in Japanese), but our Tokyo bureau just let us know that Sony’s announced a fairly severe security vulnerability on the PlayStation Network, which would actually allow an attacker to access your account, personal information, and Wallet — but not your credit card on file — as well as change your password. More on this as it develops; in the mean time, keep a close eye on that account.

Major security vulnerability discovered for PlayStation Network, lock up your PS3s

Update: More information is on the US PS3 site. Apparently the issue has been resolved and security is restored.
