Sony Begins Providing ID Theft Protection for PlayStation Hack

Sony has begun sending out formal emails advising users of its PlayStation
Network how to sign up for the identity theft protection services it said
it would offer customers.

Sony also said Tuesday that the PlayStation online store would remain down
until the end of the month.

"Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment have made
arrangements with Debix to offer AllClear ID PLUS to eligible PlayStation
Network and Qriocity account holders in the United States who are
concerned about identity theft," Sony said in an email sent Wednesday
afternoon.

The service will provide 12 months of alerts to help protect users from
identity theft, as well as provide ID theft insurance coverage (up to $1
million, Sony has said previously) as well as hands-on help from fraud
investigators.
