Sony Breach Gets Worse: 24.6 Million Compromised Accounts At SOE

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday May 3, 2011 @12:14AM from the over-100-million-served dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an update to yesterday morning's news that Sony Online Entertainment's game service was taken offline to investigate a potential data breach related to the PSN intrusion. SOE has now said that they too suffered a major theft of user data. "... personal information from approximately 24.6 million SOE accounts may have been stolen, as well as certain information from an outdated database from 2007. The information from the outdated database that may have been stolen includes approximately 12,700 non-US credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain."

Dear Sony Infiltrator... by daitengu · 2011-05-03 00:31 · Score: 5, Funny

If the person who stole the SOE accounts could get in contact with me, I've been trying to reset my SOE password for 2 months now, and it hasn't worked. Could you tell me what my password is?
