Company spokesman George Boyd confirmed the breach but could not say anything about the source of attack and attacker.
The third party vendor whose server has been leaked was hired by Sony for sales operation and other events in china. Sony’s own server is safe. Sony is trying to identify attackers and ti know what else has been hacked from the server.
Hackers always try to hack into the servers of companies and leak information just to get their name on news. Most of these hackers are college students who have increased the rate of cyber crimes. It is really hard to find out these new hackers because they breach and then go under ground forever. These attacks have also increased the company’s investment in cyber security.
