Sony Breach Gets Worse: 24.6 Million Compromised Accounts At SOE 242
An anonymous reader writes with an update to yesterday morning's news that Sony Online Entertainment's game service was taken offline to investigate a potential data breach related to the PSN intrusion. SOE has now said that they too suffered a major theft of user data.
"... personal information from approximately 24.6 million SOE accounts may have been stolen, as well as certain information from an outdated database from 2007. The information from the outdated database that may have been stolen includes approximately 12,700 non-US credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain."

It is getting harder and harder to read Slashdot. It seems like all the posts have to use their favorite abbreviations. Maybe I am biased, but please only use stocker tickers as corporate abbreviations or something that is immediately clear. From the context, I still had to go look up what SOE was.
Too many people on /. (-- an appropriate use or abbreviation) are beginning to think TTROO (That They aRe the Only Ones -- a bad use or abbreviation).
I've been on this site for a very long time, and it sucks I have to google shit like this, even though I work in high-frequency trading and can even understand abbreviations in my spaghetti-o's. I can usually guess it, but I still have to Google crap list this to be sure.
Terrible writing style. Will the couple extra character really kill you, editors?
Sorry "editor" implies some sort of caring for your work. I know you know click Accepr/Reject like a blind monkey.
