Sony Won't Appeal Fine Related to 2011 PSN Hack

4.7
Sony dropped its appeal and will therefore have to pay a £250,000 fine issued by the UK Information Commissioner's Office related to a massive data breach on PSN in April 2011. ICO issued the fine in January 2013, calling the hack a "serious breach of the Data Protection Act."

"After careful consideration we are withdrawing our appeal. This decision reflects our commitment to protect the confidentiality of our network security from disclosures in the course of the proceeding," a Sony representative told V3. "We continue to disagree with the decision on the merits."

Oasis If you were that committed it wouldn't of happened anyway. What's all this about you continue to disagree with the decision on the merits? Guess what you done fckd up, just take it on the chin.


The same thing could happen to microsoft any day. Just the right people have to go after them/


Why did you bring up Microsoft? They have nothing to do with this.


Maybe because many xbox fanboys think that microsoft is untouchable to stuff like this. It could happen to xbox and ps3 again I bet if the right people did it.

RATF i think online is free but you have to pay for PLUS?


It is exactly the same as Xbox Live now, to play Online you need to purchase PLUS


Not for PlayStation 3, but it will be like that for PlayStation 4. Also 250,000 GBP really isn't that much to Sony, I'm surprised that it isn't more!
