After US and EU, Sony is offering identity protection to Australian users. The PSN breach exposed 100 million credit cards and Sony had to offer identity production to Playstation users.

We’’ve made a number of additional improvements to PSN – visit eu.playstation.com/psnlatest and PlayStation.Blog at blog.eu.playstation.com for the latest updates.

Many consumers have already reset their passwords and are enjoying the many features and services of PlayStation Network, however, if you haven’t already done so, then you’ll need to reset your password before you can start using PSN again.

It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes and if you’d like more help you can follow the step by step guide at eu.playstation.com/psppsn.

We would like to thank you for your patience and support whilst our teams worldwide work to get the full range of PSN services back up and running.
