Sony Hacked Again 25 Million More Accounts Hacked

Logo of the PlayStation NetworkHackers may have stolen the personal information of 24.6 million Sony Online Entertainment users.

More than 20,000 credit card and bank account numbers were also put at risk.

This in addition to the recent leak of over 70 million accounts from Sony’s PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.

Sony said that the compromised personal information includes customers’ names,
addresses, e-mail addresses, birth dates, gender, phone numbers, logins and hashed passwords.

Also at risk are the credit card numbers and expiration dates of 12,700 non-U.S. customers, plus 10,700 direct debit records from customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain, containing bank-account numbers, customers’ names and addresses.

This information was stored in what Sony said was an “outdated database from 2007.”

Ketomaster said...

Just because it's an "outdated database" doesn't make it any better. For shame Sony.

Nom de Plume said...

I bet Sony's heads are spinning!

"As compensation for the Sony Online Entertainment leak, Sony said that it will give all of its customers 30 days of additional subscription time, plus an extra day for each day the servers remain down."

It's fail after fail with this whole Sony thing, I can't say I'm that bothered because we all have fraud insurance on our credit cards, it's certainly gonna leave Sony red in the face though!

RobinV said...

Wow they failed twice? Youd think theyd do something about it.

Paulie Pecans said...

somebody's going to be in trouble.

Penguin Tamer said...

Perhaps the problem isn't an outside source...

Ponderer said...

That's what you get for picking a fight with hackers!

Who care's if people homebrew their PS3s? Doesn't sound criminal to me!

Sety said...

that just sucks...poor sony. hope they recover soon.

Lunarchy said...

Man this just keeps getting worse and worse. I hope Sony learns a lesson.

Unknown said...

Sony's taking on a beating bad.

Fwission said...

Sony re-works its whole online firmware just to get it hacked the second it comes out... so sad

Trelin said...

They didn't get hacked twice. This hack happened at the same time as the first one with little doubt by the same people. Still bad. All those old everquest players who haven't had a credit card number change have a problem.

Rults said...

it looks like someone was really angry at sony and managed to screw everything up for them. As I understand they had to shut down their current running MMOs for the duration of this investigation aswell

Raizoo said...

Sad day for Sony..

Anonymous said...

bad days for sony ..

drombo said...

They're a joke. Fucked twice in the same month? And they said that Microsoft was bad...

Charlie said...

soony...get your stuff together

Daniel said...

Read today that only 90 of the credit cards was active

Dave said...

Sony is turning into a massive joke

sewingincircles said...

that was pretty ridiculous.

alfred smith said...

glad I didn't have my credit card info in their system...

Sean said...

This may be the end for Sony. Hopefully Microsoft learns something from this and never allows this to happen to them.

Hyperion said...

I see lawsuits in the future...

Rockinrule said...

ugh. straight up fiasco.

The Speaker said...

Sony needs to get their shit together. They have little breathing room as it is.

Xenototh said...

Their compensation is almost a joke, seeing as how they are offering it to new users and those who could have had their accounts compromised. Need to give something other than a free trial...

Adam Rockefeller said...

Wow, this is getting ridiculous. Sony needs to just admit everything and take the stock loss. People's security is at risk here.

noyou said...

hackers you are doing it rite, poor sony
