PlayStation Network credit card data reportedly up for sale warn security experts
Sony's PlayStation Network headaches continue, with security researchers claiming that the hackers who broke into the company's databases are offering to sell credit card numbers stolen from PSN users.

Good news this morning, with Verizon's 4G LTE back online in time for the launch of the DROID Charge.
