Sony has warned users of its PlayStation Network that their personal information, including credit card details, may have been stolen.



The company said that the data might have fallen into the hands of an "unauthorised person" following a hacking attack on its online service.



Access to the network was suspended last Wednesday, but Sony has only now revealed details of what happened.



Users are being warned to look out for attempted telephone and e-mail scams.
