Suit Filed Over PlayStation Data Breach

A San Francisco-based law firm has filed a class action lawsuit against Sony Computer Entertainment America, after the company admitted that an attack by hackers had compromised the data of approximately 77 million PlayStation Network subscribers.

Calling it “one of the largest data breaches in the history of the Internet,” the firm that filed the suit alleges Sony was negligent in protecting and encrypting the private data — which may have included credit card numbers — of subscribers to the PlayStation 3 online network. The complaint alleges that due to the breach, some members have already begun to experience fraudulent use of their credit card information.

“We brought this lawsuit on behalf of consumers to learn the full extent of Sony PlayStation Network data security practices and the data loss and to seek a remedy for consumers,” said Ira P. Rothken, an attorney with Rothken Law Firm, which filed the suit April 27. “We are hopeful that Sony will take this opportunity to learn from the network vulnerabilities, provide a remedy to consumers who entrusted their sensitive data to Sony and lead the way in data security best practices going forward.”
