Sony says the attack on SOE and hires a third firm security

Keep up the mess of PlayStation Network , even falling worldwide despite rumors that the Japanese had been relaunched the service, something that Sony was quick to deny to avoid the discontent of consumers across the pond. The movement now collect all media may also be aimed at himself, having awakened yesterday with the news that Qriocity PSN and were not the only services involved.

Sony Online Entertainment , a division of online gaming, has suffered an intrusion as much or more dreadful than that of PSN. Names, mails, dates of birth, phone numbers and bank details of more than 24.6 million players has been committed, knowing that 12,700 credit card numbers and about 10,700 records of bank accounts in Spain, Germany, Holland and Austria have been affected.

The attack, says Sony, is independent of the PSN, but has followed the same protocol due to the architectural similarities of SOE to PSN

Although the two systems operate separately, they are different, both are under the umbrella of Sony and therefore share much of its architecture.

So, Sony has decided to hire a new company security expert to work with both already involved in finding those responsible and strengthening systems to prevent similar situations in the future.

Data Forte, the newly built, is led by a former special agent of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation. This will also help in their efforts to the FBI, which already works with the U.S. Homeland Security.

Guidance Software and Protiviti lead in the garlic from the past 24 days, finding himself mixed up and the law firm Baker & McKenzie. In view of such an inquiry, we no longer miss forecasts as of 24,000 million dollars, which analysts say is what Sony would cost to clear the issue.
