It's been more or less than a week since Sony switched the off-switch and now the horrible and enormous details are slowly slithering out.
Users and members of the press alike are having a field day at Sony's expense with critique and rambling messages of hate. This is now due to escalate as Sony's latest blog update confirms user details (including credit card and address) may have been compromised and gives them specific instructions on how to handle identity and credit card fraud!
Have they made a rod for there own backs? Is it better to be safe than sorry? Negative news is what it is and if the PR team cannot spin a healthier (and less grim) light into this current (HUGE) issue, Sony will lose consumer confidence!
The rumour mill is buzzing at the moment that Sony knew about the attack way before they switched off the service and to that extent, one Kristopher Johns, 36, of Birmingham, Alabama has taken Sony to court for not being able to take reasonable care to protect, encrypt, and secure the private and sensitive data of its users.
He also believes Sony took too long to notify other customers of the risks they face concerning credit and identity fraud!
This could possibly be the largest digital-data heist ever. With no time frame on when the Playstation network will be brought back up and no solid confirmation on how many of the 70+ Million customers worldwide may be affected by the data theft, this could possibly be the worst crisis to ever hit a Corperation as big as Sony, its console AND it's customers!
