Sony has finally restored the PlayStation Network and the PlayStation Store is soon to be back up, but that isn’t stopping hackers from giving the company something new to worry about.
Earlier today it was reported that the personal data of 2,000 customers was stolen from a Sony Ericsson website in Canada. In addition, hackers have also obtained information of 8,500 users from a Sony Music Entertainment website in Greece.
The leaked information includes e-mails, passwords and phone numbers. Luckily no credit card details were obtained, and Sony is stating that the websites were hosted externally by third parties rather than being part of its main network.
George Boyd, a spokesman for the company, has also stated that the Sony Music Entertainment website in Indonesia and the Sony website in Thailand have also been hacked.
All four websites have been temporarily shut down while Sony works on and investigates the security breaches.
