I know i'm going to be keeping an eye on my credit card statement (yay for Mint), but I don't expect to see anything funky pop up.
I trust steam more than I trust sony (this may prove to be misplaced).
But I still changed my steam password and forum password.
and good ideas in the second article.
I need to check and see if I can get a virtual credit card set up for Steam and CoH

The problem is if you use the same username/password anywhere else they also need to be changed. I recently had to go through this excercize because two of my common throwaway name/passwords where compromised. Now steam did the proper thing and salted and hashed the passwords, so they would need to build a rainbow table specifically for steam's salt(assuming they picked a proper salt) which will take some time, but eventually the bad guys will know all the passwords in the database. It's a pain.
