"Anyone turning on their PS3 to reconnect to PSN will be forced
to change their password. This is one of the security measures Sony
has implemented to ensure accounts become secure again. But a hack
has been discovered allowing someone to reset your password if they
know your email address and date of birth. Both pieces of
information were taken in the original hack making them publicly
available to the right people (hackers)."
