Sony "PlayStation Network" Privacy
BREAKING NEWS: Sony has been sued over an alleged privacy failure of its "PlayStation Network."
The first of what may be many lawsuits was filed against Sony in federal court in San Francisco, alleging negligent data security practices, privacy violations and breach of warranty.
The lawsuit, which seeks to represent all subscribers to Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity service, also accuses Sony of not informing consumers quickly enough about the exposure of their personal account information and credit card data due to the breach.
The lawsuit accuses Sony of violating the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard by failing to implement a proper firewall and to encrypt card holder data. Sony has also allegedly violated the standard by retaining card holder data, according to allegations in the filed complaint.
