[blockquote]The names, addresses, birth dates and other personal data belonging to the 77 million customers on Sony's PlayStation Network were stolen by a hacker, the company said Tuesday.
The hack is among the largest data thefts in history.
In a lengthy post on its PlayStation blog, the company added: "While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility."
Sony's PlayStation online service has been down for about a week since the catastrophic attack.
There are more than 1.5 million PlayStation Network users in Canada.
Sony's online network launched in fall 2006. Unlike its main competitor, Microsoft's Xbox Live, there are no subscription fees.
Xbox Live has not suffered a similar devastating attack. The incident is a major blow to Sony which is in a fierce battle with Microsoft and Nintendo on the console market.
Tuesday night, many Twitter users were outraged Sony took six days to tell its customers their credit card data could be at risk.

HAHAHA keep your free online service, I'll keep my personal information. HAHHAHAHA
XBOX WINS!
