A poor Sony does not stop raining blows on all sides. It is partly his fault, because among other things how to carry at all times and inform your users about the alleged millions of stolen bank account data for the time being nothing short of disastrous. Recall that shortly after learning of the intensity and magnitude of the attacks Anonymous denied any involvement with the same information but since then has been giving the Japanese company has always been late, wrong and showing that from the outset by the company has been clearly intended to hide what was really going on.

As if this were not enough also now a hacker group claims to have more than 2.2 million bank account data from PlayStation Network. The data bank was stored in an encrypted form, but not others as and can be just as susceptible as passwords and data of residence and date of birth of flat, without any encryption.

It is also curious as according to some sources, the hackers behind the attack have offered a Sony sell all data, without which so far have received response from the company. Worst of all is that while Japanese and again ensures that the data was encrypted by adding it always ends with the tagline of 'We can not ensure that they have not been committed', this is so that following the attack could have reached the main database which would have provided access to itrusos to everything from user names data to places of residence and of course the happy data on credit cards.

Although I recall that I have an account PSNetwork (I'm using Xbox 360) to have ever played with a friend did not have any data associated bank so this whole issue does not affect me too personally. But all those that you may be potential service users with compromised data to recommend that as soon as you can toméis necessary measures such as change of password (which apparently will be mandatory once again restored the service) and change your information and password the bank to assure that the thing does not reach higher. And is that if I had to give my opinion on the subject I'm pretty sure that even with all Sony still refuses to tell the truth pure and simple, the data has been stolen and had better pray that users start taking measures.
