Sony data breach is a wake up call for your company

The recent highly publicised security breach suffered by the Playstation Network is yet another example of how determined high-tech criminals are to obtain private and personal information and data.

It has been reported that hackers exploited a security vulnerability to gain access to potentially million’s of Playstation Network and Qricity user names and other sensitive personal information.

It was a massive blow for Sony, who as a global brand are acknowledged as a leader in high technology development. Millions of gamers have been asked to monitor personal credit card usage as there is a fear that this information could also be used illegally.

It is becoming evident from the increasing number of data breaches impacting many global organisations that data theft is on the increase becoming a major risk both in terms of the negative publicity, but also the potential fines that could be imposed because of the data breach.
