We apologize for any inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience.

Could it get any worse for Sony? Sure, say those cards start showing up en masse in identify theft or usage fraud alerts. Let's hope they don't. Heck, let's hope Nikkei's wrong for that matter. I'm as tired of writing about this as Sony is deflecting questions and posting dry, unflattering PlayStation blog updates.

Fingers crossed we get better answers soon, and that they don't involve nearly 13,000 customer credit card numbers loose in the wild.
