Earlier today, we\u00a0received\u00a0a email from the Data Protection Commissioner in regards to the PSN Breach that could have disclosed sensitive information on the members of Playstation Network.<\/p>\n

Dear Sir,<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thank you for your email received by our office on the 26th April 2011.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This Office is aware of the security breach incident affecting some of<\/p>\n
Sony’s on-line services. We have made contact with Sony Ireland and sought<\/p>\n
a report as described in the Personal Data Security Breach Code of Practice<\/p>\n
published by the Data Protection Commissioner. We will investigate the<\/p>\n
matter as outlined in the Code of Practice ( you can access the Code of<\/p>\n
Practice and associated guidance:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.dataprotection.ie\/docs\/Breach_Notification_Guidance\/901.htm<\/a><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We will be coordinating with other European data protection authorities<\/p>\n
in this regard.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This Office will focus on securing the rectification of the problems that<\/p>\n
have led to this breach and the prevention of any repeat incident. Please<\/p>\n
note that the powers of the Commissioner do not extend to the award of<\/p>\n
compensation.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We understand that Sony has suspended its on-line services. We recommend<\/p>\n
that you should immediately change passwords for any web-based services,<\/p>\n
such as e-mail accounts that use the same or similar passwords. You should<\/p>\n
also be vigilant against spam or other attempts at fraud based on the<\/p>\n
information gleaned from Sony’s systems. As Sony is unable to rule out the<\/p>\n
compromise of credit card details, if you have provided credit card details<\/p>\n
in connection to Sony’s on-line services, you should exercise particular<\/p>\n
vigilance in regard to activity on your credit card account.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its good to hear that the\u00a0authorities\u00a0are investigating the case, but as they said in the email, their powers do not extend to the award of compensation, so it is up to Sony whether or not\u00a0individuals should be compensated. Hopefully those who paid for subscription services such as Qriocity and PS+ will be compensated.<\/p>\n
