Similar incident, better security
According to the PlayStation Blog, a failed log-in attempt occurred on 0.1 percent of PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment accounts.
The tiny percentage might seem small but in fact it represents about 93,000 accounts worldwide. Philip Reitinger, Sony?s Chief Information Security Officer, wrote in the blog that the data was obtained ?from one or more compromised lists from other companies, sites or other sources.?
Fortunately, Sony was able to counter the attack. The accounts affected were blocked and users were sent an e-mail regarding the incident as well as a secure password reset. Fortunately, no credit cards were at risk, so in the end it seems that Sony has learned from their past mistakes and is getting better at their security.
