PSN Hack - what are you doing about it?

And they've been hacked again. Today. Details on PC Pro.

The website suggested that users should move to secure their accounts by creating a completely new email, that is used exclusively for the PlayStation Network, and switching PSN account details to use this new email.

This has to be the most sensible idea going. If for this reason only get a domain name of your own. Then use a unique e-mail for each account you open. I have one unique e-mail for Amazon, one for Steam, one for Blizzard etc. ect. Each company only knows me by that single unique email address which I never register with anyone else. All the scam emails that come to me supposedly from Blizzard asking me to reset my WOW account use the wrong email and so I know they are scams. Only Blizzard actually uses the right email. Likewise my PSN account has a unique email associated with it, which I changed the day the hacking story broke. So although I never registered a credit card or my address or any useful personal information with Sony, the email they might have given away to hackers is actually now dead and buried.

Domains for email use cost buttons a year, it's well worth the small investment. IMHO.
