More breach problems for Sony
Sony Online Entertainment LLC (“SOE”) based in San Diego, California revealed that its systems were also the subject of a hacking attack.
The hacking attack of the SOE systems took place on April 16 and 17th and resulted in the unauthorized access to the personal information (name, address, e-mail address, birth date, gender, phone number, login name, and hashed password) of approximately 24.6 million SOE customers as well as approximately 12,700 non-U.S. credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes) and 10,700 direct debit records (bank account number, customer name, account name, and customer address) of SOE customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain from an outdated database from 2007.
the number of Sony customers whose personal information has been hacked,is one of the largest data breach in history.

In my opinion,this article can be considerd as computer crime act 1997 and Personal Data Protection Act 2010 because of unauthorized access to personal information.
ReplyDeleteI think because of this new hacking,sony should recruit some professional staff that prevent from future hacking
