Sony Faces Class Action Suit Over Data Security
Sony is beginning to face the consequences of what was one of the largest data breaches in history. Last week, the Sony Play Station Network was hacked into causing a shut down of a gaming network that is three times the size of NetFlix. Now users are taking action.
Alabama resident Kristopher Johns filed the first class action lawsuit against Sony in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Information Week has more: “The lawsuit alleges that Sony ‘failed to encrypt data and establish adequate firewalls to handle a server intrusion contingency, failed to provide prompt and adequate warnings of security breaches, and unreasonably delayed in bringing the PSN service back on line.’
