Sony working to get it back up

Hackers took a few months off after taking down the PlayStation Network and a number of other websites, but it appears their vacation is over. Only a week after defacing the Steam forums and digging into users' personal information, hackers have apparently targeted MyResistance and GlobalResistance, two Resistance websites run by Sony.

In other words, they don't have your credit card information, but they probably have your e-mail address, and they may have your password, too. That is, of course, unless Sony learned from its mistakes and made sure to encrypt the passwords this time. If they did make sure to encrypt it this time, than the hackers likely have a bunch of e-mail addresses they really can't do anything with. If they didn't, well, than you may want to change any shared passwords, and prepare for a lot of outrage from security experts, lawyers, and the gaming community.
