Hello everybody again!

Today I would like to write about the important attack that has suffered Sony. His two online departments, PS Network and Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) have been hacked. This attack has not been as the last attempts, in this case, the hackers have managed to steal about 75 million accounts. In these accounts there is the information about bank accounts, personal information etc.

Due to this attack and with the desire will be no repeated, the server online has been down during 2 weeks. During this time nobody has had access to the online games. The Call of Duty: Black Ops, one of the most playable games at the moment has been paralyzed. This fact has been Sony to lost a lot of money and confident.

Referred to Spain and according to sources Sony Computer Entertainment Spain, it has been stolen data from 114 users. In this sense, the Spanish subsidiary of the Japanese company insists that have not been stolen the necessary codes to make transactions.

The company in a press conference has tried to calm people. They have been working in the system to protect it of futures attacks. However the people are not so agree. The risk of possible theft from bank accounts has made people distrust. The company recommends that the users monitor their bank accounts for any unexpected movements.

The company as an offsetting will give some extra content for free. I do not know if these measures will be enough for the people. The image of Sony has been heavily damaged. We saw how his “pretty girl” the ps3 was hacked months ago. Now have been the servers. What will be the next?
