GAME NEWS:
Well, that didn't take long.
It's been only a few weeks since the PSN has returned after being royally hacked, and now a class-action lawsuit has been filed. The suit accuses Sony of negligence and lax security with their PSN service.
Now, it makes sense that a lawsuit would be filed against Sony, as many customers were gravely affected by the downage. What's surprising here is that the lawsuit has learned, via 'many witnesses,' that Sony was reportedly negligent in keeping their information safe.
How is that possible? Well, the suit alleges that Sony was firing security personal right before the attack occured.
Just two weeks before the April breach, Sony laid off a substantial percentage of its Sony Online Entertainment workforce, including a number of employees in the Network Operations Center, which, according to Confidential Witness 2, is the group that is responsible for preparing for and responding to security breaches, and who ostensibly has the skills to bring the Network's security technology up-to-date.
Sony has tried to make things right with their customers, offering free games and services as an apology, but many users still feel slighted.
In this suit, the plantiffs are seeking 'exemplary damages.'
