Less than two weeks after Sony restored the Playstation Network from 28 days of downtime due to a hacker attack, they have more news… it has happened again. This time, however, the Playstation Network is fine. 8,500 accounts for subscribers to Sony Music Entertainment Greece have had their information stolen. 

The sites are free so no credit card information was stolen but usernames, passwords, email addresses and phone numbers were. The websites got taken down by Sony immediately following the attack and will stay down pending a security review.

While the attack is not large in terms of the number of people affected or the actual information stolen, this is the third in a short time and te hits keep on coming. On April 20th, the account information for 77 million users got stolen from the Playstation Network attack. Then Sony Online Entertainment had 24.6 million users get information stolen. 

In addition to the Sonly Music Entertainment Greece incident, Dow Jones newswire reports that Sony found small levels of unauthorized access in Indonesia and Thailand and, while not exploited, they found vulnerabilities pages for Sony Music Japan.

The cost to Sony is, so far, over $170 million. Anyone can imagine that the cost in trust of the users and credibility of Sony is even greater.
