Sony Corporation had suffered a gigantic infringement in its video game online network. Due to this, they had to shutdown PlayStation Network which prevented owners of Sony's video game console from buying and downloading games, as well as playing with rivals over the Internet.
Today, 1st May, Sony has announced that it will resume some services on its PlayStation Network this week and gamers will receive compensation for not being able to log on.
"I am deeply sorry for worrying, and inconveniencing, our users," said Kazuo Hirai, Sony's executive deputy president, bowing deeply.
The important lesson here is that there is no such thing as secure network data.
Things like this are the reason we should ALWAYS be allowed to decline to submit personal data for an account. All you need is an email address and a password. We shouldn't be REQUIRED to provide our full name, phone number, address, mother's maiden name, or any other unnecessary information.
