More Sony Corp Sites Become the Victims of Hackers
Written Tuesday, May 24, 2011 by Dan Webb
Sony’s having a rough time of it as of late and it looks like it’s not letting up either, with other Sony properties feeling the squeeze of the hackers.
According to Bloomberg, a Tokyo-based Sony spokesman told them that the third-party operator of Sony Music Entertainment’s Greece website discovered a breach on Sunday and promptly took down the site.
The hack compromised the user information of over 8,500 users, which included their names, email addresses and phone numbers, but not their credit card data.
Meanwhile, Reuters are saying that other breaches occurred on Sony Corp sites in three other countries.
This follows the mass shutdown of the PlayStation Network last month and subsequent attacks soon thereafter.
The question is, how long can Sony put up with these hacks before its credibility as a reliable and trustworthy company has already been thrown out the window.
