What's This?

In the UK, the anti-fraud scheme is provided by Fraud Protect; eligible PSN users will get twelve months of online card and personal information monitoring, up to £10,000 identity-theft insurance, anti-fraud software and other support. The site has already updated to deal with the expected influx of calls:

“If you were a PlayStation Network or Qriocity account holder as of 20 April 2011 and aged 18 years or over you may qualify for 12 months FREE cover. You have the option of enrolling in the program for 60 days from 20th May 2011. PlayStation customers will need PSN user ID and email address to register. Qriocity customers will need email address to register.” Fraud Protect

There’ll also be a selection of PS3 and PSP games accessible for free to those PSN subscribers affected. PS3 titles include Dead Nation, inFAMOUS, LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, and Wipeout HD + Fury, while PSP titles include LittleBigPlanet (PSP), ModNation Racers, Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation.

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

Before you start using PlayStation Network again…

In restoring PSN, we have introduced a safety measure which means you will need to update your PlayStation Network account password before you can start using PSN again.

If you’ve got a PlayStation 3, you can do this by updating to system software version 3.61 and then signing in to PlayStation Network from the XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) Menu. Find out more at eu.playstation.com/ps3psn.

Otherwise, you can change your password by visiting https://store.playstation.com/login.gvm on your PC. 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.

Again, 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.

The PlayStation Network team
