Let's hope it's not like Lloyds...

Oh no you don't pal.

Sir Howard Stringer - Sony CEO - wrote a letter this morning to his 'friends'. In it he mentions, "A program for U.S. PlayStation Network and Qriocity customers that includes a $1 million identity theft insurance policy per user was launched earlier today and announcements for other regions will be coming soon." Now Sony in Europe has followed up.

"As you will have read in the letter from Sir Howard Stringer," says the EU Blog, "that we posted a few hours ago, in the US we are offering all PSN users one year’s free access to an identity protection scheme.

"I can assure you that here in the SCEE region, we are working incredibly hard to offer you something very similar. As is often the case here, with so many countries in our region, this is a very complicated thing to achieve, but we are close."

The "I" in question is Nick Caplin – Head of Communications, SCEE.

Don't we already have payment protection on credit cards? Yes, yes we do.

Payment protection has nothing to do with Identity protection.
