We reported earlier that Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has its own security problem stemming from the attacks on the PSN.
We already know that 24.6 million accounts might have been compromised and that approximately 12,700 non-US credit or debit cards details might be part of it.
The “good” news is, along with the fact that the info was taken from an outdated database from 2007, is that most of the cards were not valid. Sony is now claiming that “only” 900 of the credit cards listed were still active when the security got breached.
While Sony is still in deep water concerning customer privacy and loyalty, the fact of the matter is 900 is way better compared to more than 10,000. It's not a victory by any means, but it's not as bad as it could have been either, no?
More on the situation as it develops.
