I use one CC online and only with ephemeral numbers that have a preconfigured limit and are locked to the single vendor.

Anyhow going forward I'll be using pre-paid cards for iTunes, XBOX and Sony Playstation, no more cc info to any of them.

Anyhow I don't have my CC info stored, delete the info after each transaction but I may change my CC anyhow just to be safe. I'm also disappointed with how long it took Sony to own up to their troubles and openly agree that they had been hacked.

At the moment, it is nothing but a risk to store a username and password and possibly financial data on hundreds of different websites with differing levels of security. Even for the intelligent, managing these vast arrays of logins and data presents a challenge which can often only be managed by third-party software. I wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of Google and Facebook trying to move in on this - using your login for Google, for example, to log on to myriad different websites, therefore only worrying about whether Google get hacked or not. Although I also see a move towards more federated ways of accessing different systems coming out from the likes of Citrix and VMWare as well, I think things like OpenCloud and Project Horizon also have started to encompass some form of identity management.

If you have provided information from your playstations to Sony to download content, you might want to be watching your CC Card information and other accounts very carefully, since your information is probably in the possession of unauthorized parties atm. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/138557/20110427/sony-playstation-suffers -massive-data-breach-criticized.htm<http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/138557/20110427/sony-playstation-suffers%0A-massive-data-breach-criticized.htm> Sincerely, EZ Edward E.
