Guess this was inevitable after the PSN breach, SOE now breached as well

All Sony Online Entertainment games (EQ, EQ2 etc) are now offline after Sony announced that they too have been hacked.

Sony Online Entertainment was taken offline today and the company warned users of the service that their personal data may have been stolen as part of the computer attack that exposed the information of as many as 77 million PlayStation Network accounts two weeks ago.

Earlier today, the SOE site, a multiplayer online game service, said "SOE MAINTENANCE In Progress," followed by a message: "Dear Valued SOE Customers, We have had to take the SOE service down temporarily. In the course of our investigation into the intrusion into our systems we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately. We will provide an update later today Monday). We apologize for any inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience."

I ended up having to close down a credit card two days ago because of fraudulent charges in Idaho. I used to play two SOE games back in the day and charged them to this card. I guess I now know how my card was compromised. Well it is my best guess because I only have one card and it has always been in my possession
