Hackers access thousands of PSN accounts. Sony locks down compromised accounts.
Sony Chief Information Security Officer Philip Reitinger posted this morning on the Official European Sony Blog that a mass attempt at logging into thousands of PSN and SOE accounts was rebuffed last night. Suspected of culling the list from other companies, the hackers used large amounts of username-password combinations to attempt access to Sony users. 93,000 accounts appeared to be successfully accessed by using these username-password sets. In response Sony locked all of those accounts until their proper owners could confirm authenticity and reset passwords. Of those accounts, "a small fraction" had transactions on them before being locked down. Sony is reviewing all account activity and offering to assist anyone who may have had purchases made in their name.
