Sony Hacked Again; 93,000 Accounts Breached
Reitinger goes on to say that Sony will work with any users who report unauthorised purchases on their accounts in order to reimburse them, and stresses that, "Less than one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of our PSN, SEN and SOE audience may have been affected."
All affected customers can expect to receive an email from Sony and will have to reset their passwords yet again.
"As a preventative measure, we are requiring secure password resets for those PSN/SEN accounts that had both a sign-in ID and password match through this attempt," Reitinger explains. "If you are in the small group of PSN/SEN users who may have been affected, you will receive an email from us at the address associated with your account that will prompt you to reset your password.
"Similarly, the SOE accounts that were matched have been temporarily turned off. If you are among the small group of affected SOE customers, you will receive an email from us at the address associated with your account that will advise you on next steps in order to validate your account credentials and have your account turned back on."
This attack is the latest in a string of hacking attempts on Sony's user databases which began in April this year when 75 million account details were stolen from PSN, resulting in the service going offline for six weeks in order to bolster security.

The_BeatlesMatthewUK They need to up their security....
Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the second time it's happened?
Yeah, i am not sure of this is the third time. But they do need better security. If they can't stop people "hacking" into accounts then maybe they will end up asking for Microsoft's help.
i agree totally! haha lol
