In the stories of a plan by the pirates to infiltrate Sony servers for the third time, Reuters received a letter from the President of the computer entertainment, Kazuo Hirai electronics company. The letter, dated date, 5 may, the Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, who accused Sony of acting too slowly in response to last month's massive data breach, when millions of users of PlayStation and Qriocity network services had their details stolen by hackers.
According to Reuters, Hirai wrote in the letter that the company had responded as quickly as possible to notify users of the violation. Sony had sent for a half a million emails an hour to more than 100 million affected users a€ "but Blumenthal claimed it was too slow."
Defending their actions, Hirai wrote that the sending of notifications is taking time because "these e-mails are not ' batch' email." Emails are individually adapted to the accounts of our consumers. "The letter also stated that the company had ensured that it was consistent with the laws of the State in advising clients on the problem through the post on its PlayStation blog.
On noting that had been suspicious activity on its network on 19 April, the electronics giant has contacted the FBI three days later. The first post blog concerning the theft of data and the failure came on April 26.
In the letter, written on the same day that Sony CEO Howard Stringer has posted a letter of apology to the users concerned on the PlayStation blog, Hirai has tried to put the incident into perspective. "What happened to us, much more extensive scope, has happened to many others before,"he wrote."".
According to Reuters, Blumenthal said Friday that Sony had taken a "strong first step." The PlayStation Network and Qriocity users who have not deserted Sony and eagerly await in their comfortable armchairs for the return of services should not have much longer to wait. In his letter on the PlayStation blog, Stringer said that service would resume "in the coming days."
