Sony said that the intrusion took place in its servers and PlayStation Network Qriocity resulted in the disclosure of personal information of users, via their personal addresses, passwords and potentially the credit card numbers . The Japanese has a crisis on our hands and we read on the web a number of criticisms on a communication extremely late.
Indeed, the fault occurred between April 17 and April 19. It was discovered on April 20 last, because as explained by Sony, the company has disconnected servers after discovering the problem. However, we are now April 27 and it is only now that Sony says its customers that hackers got their names, addresses (city, state, zip code), country, email address, birth date, Login and password PSN / Qriocity well as purchase history, their payment address and possibly the credit card number and expiration date.
Needless to say, this information greatly expose consumers to Sony identity theft, phishing attacks and dishonest use of bank information. Sony said on its website that all accounts PSN / Qriocity around the world are affected by this vulnerability. This means that European players are concerned.
It is therefore advised to be vigilant, to change his password and alert their bank to suspicious activity. Sony has started sending emails to its customers. Services PSN / Qriocity are still not online and Sony has not given dates back online. As we know you did that in our present "The Way of the Cross for PlayStation Network, the brand systems are offline since April 20 last.
Initially, the company talked of a return to normal for April 23. Today, Sony back on what happened, but the communication from the company leaves much to be desired. He says that once the fault discovery, he has enlisted the services of a security expert to conduct an investigation into what happened.
He has also taken steps to improve the security of its servers and consolidate its infrastructure. In short, he continues to communicate too little, too late. A U.S. senator has written a letter to Sony demanding an explanation. One imagines that this is just the beginning.
