Sony locks 93,000 accounts after hacking attempt

Sony has locked the PSN and SOE accounts of 93,000 users following a hacking attempt that saw hackers try to test a ‘massive set of log-in IDs and passwords.' The company revealed the attempted breach in a blog post published last night. Philip Reitinger, SVP & Chief Information Security Officer at Sony Group, said that the data likely came from another source, and not from Sony's own networks. “These attempts appear to include a large amount of data obtained from one or more compromised lists from other companies, sites or other sources,” he said.
