More info, the faq got updated:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/27/qa-1-for-playstation-network-and-qriocity-services/

Some points of interest:

Q: Was my personal data encrypted?
A: All of the data was protected, and access was restricted both physically and through the perimeter and security of the network. The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken. The personal data table, which is a separate data set, was not encrypted, but was, of course, behind a very sophisticated security system that was breached in a malicious attack.

Q: Was my credit card data taken?
A: While all credit card information stored in our systems is encrypted and there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained. Keep in mind, however that your credit card security code (sometimes called a CVC or CSC number) has not been obtained because we never requested it from anyone who has joined the PlayStation Network or Qriocity, and is therefore not stored anywhere in our system.

Q: When or how can I change my PlayStation Network password?
A: We are working on a new system software update that will require all users to change their password once PlayStation Network is restored. We will provide more details about the new update shortly.

Q: When will the PlayStation Network and Qriocity be back online?
A: Our employees have been working day and night to restore operations as quickly as possible, and we expect to have some services up and running within a week from yesterday. However, we want to be very clear that we will only restore operations when we are confident that the network is secure.

This means absolutely nothing whatsoever lol

I can forgive Sony for PSN going down for a week. I can forgive them for getting hacked. Shit, I can even forgive them for having my name/email/address unsecured.

BUT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR STORING MY PASSWORD AS PLAIN TEXT.

There is absolutely, without a doubt, NO excuse for not hashing passwords at the VERY LEAST. Now I know why fail0verflow called these guys 'Security Fail'. Fuck Sony - what a bunch of programming scrubs.

I think Im selling my fighters on PS3 now due to this. If no one is going to stay around (or even be able to access the PSN) then I might as well move over to the Xbox360.

Probably a good move even if people ARE staying around from what I hear.
