The on going saga of the PlayStation network being hacked continues today with news of the company facing a class action law suit. With millions of Sony PlayStation users having their private information released by hackers it is no surprise lawyers are becoming involved. Also looking into this is the New York Attorney General, who wants Sony to be accountable for the breach of confidentiality that has occurred with the online users. The May 5th update still has the PlayStation network still down and plenty of gamers angry.
All of this started back in mid April when hackers attacked the network that has millions of members. Initially Sony just stated that their site was down, it wasn’t until a few days later when they admitted to being hacked. It was then revealed that the hackers got a hold of most of the users personal information. With each passing day that the PlayStation network is down users are becoming more and more frustrated with the lack of information Sony is releasing.
Sony has stated that no major credit card companies have reported unauthorized activity due to the illegal activity of the hackers on the network. However if you are a PlayStation network user it would be advisable to check your credit card statements to ensure that you have received any fraudulent charges. Changing your password and not responding to the Sony email phishing scams going on now are two more recommendations along with canceling the card used to sign up for the network. Make sure you check back daily for your update on the PlayStation network outage.
