A second security breach affecting nearly 7,000 people has come to light at the PlayStation maker
A week after an extortion group called Ransomed.vc claimed to have hacked into Sony’s systems and stolen 3.14GB of data, the company has admitted to a second security breach. This one occurred back in May and involved the personal data of nearly 6,791 current and former employees. The older but previously unknown hack was reported earlier today by Bleeping Computer. A notice from Sony to employees said the hack occurred by way of an exploit in “Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer platform.
While Sony said it was investigating the claims at the time, it has now told Bleeping Computer that a third-party forensics specialists helped it identify rogue activity on a “single server located in Japan used for internal testing for the Entertainment, Technology and Services business.” That’s a separate part of the company from Sony’s gaming, music, and movie divisions. “Sony has taken this server offline while the investigation is ongoing,” the company said in its new statement.
