New Sony breach attempt affects 93,000 PSN and SOE accounts, credit cards not at risk

Don't panic, this isn't the start of another ordeal affecting tens of millions of accounts and necessitates testimony before legislative bodies. In his inaugural post to the US PlayStation blog, Sony's recently-hired Chief Information Security Officer Philip Reitinger revealed that his company has detected "attempts on Sony Entertainment Network, PlayStation Network, and Sony Online Entertainment services to test a massive set of sign-in IDs and passwords." Less than 0.1 percent (that is to say, one tenth of one percent) were reportedly affected, which breaks down to 60,000 from PSN / SEN and 33,000 from SOE.
