"Dear valued SOE customers:

We had to temporarily take down SOE services during the night. In the course of our investigation into the intrusion of our systems, we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern. We will provide an update later today."

They're really not having a good time of it lately, are they?!

I might have a go of my xbox

Lol. They certainly aren't.

From Reuters last night:

Another 25 million account details stolen in a second massive security breach. 10700 debit records for Austria, Germany, Netherlands & Spain and 12700 non-us credit/debit numbers from an old (cleartext) database from 2007.

Amusing that we'll probaby see those cards trickling into the CC markets for like a penny each. There was some dude on antichat.ru last night talking about selling newly acquired american cards that may be out of date.
