A vulnerability in the PlayStation Network may have given hackers access to PSN passwords as well as the personal info of the Network's users, Sony revealed earlier today.

This "unauthorized access" is unlikely, though Sony maintains it is a possibility based on their findings. The company maintains that the loss of vital credit card info is "very unlikely."

Sony says it has since fixed the vulnerability and that players need no longer worry about the dangers of having their PSN account hacked, but it urges players to log into the service. "If you can successfully sign in with your pre-set password, your account is not affected by this incident," Sony states.

Anyone who has an issue logging in or other problems that may be related to this possible information leak should contact Sony's Customer Service Department.
