    Sony fined for last year's UK PS network breach

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01...n_breach_fine/

    Sony has been fined £250,000 for allowing million of UK gamers’ details to be spilled online by PlayStation Network hackers.

    An ICO investigation concluded that the database raid could have been prevented if Sony had applied the latest security patches to its systems' software had and followed best practice guidelines in password security - such as hashing and salting credentials. The conclusions fall into line with earlier technical analysis of the breach by security specialists.


    Guess this means Sony will raise the price of their PS games a buck to cover the mistake.
