Sony is warning PlayStation users to monitor their credit card accounts, after a hacker got into 77 million accounts. Sony says it ”cannot rule out the possibility” that credit card data was hacked.
The incident also includes the music and video service Qriocity. This could be the worst case of information leaks in Sony’s history. Sony wants all users of PlayStation and Qriocity to change their passwords and user IDs.
Sony has announced that it will close 5 more plants, due to a lack of parts. That brings the number of Sony plants affected by the 9.0 quake/tsunami to 14.
Sony officials say they might be forced to move production away from Japan.
“If the shortage of parts and materials supplied to these plants continues, we will consider necessary measures, including a temporary shift of production overseas.”
