Recently Sony has continuously been victim of high-level hacking. First attack was exposed in April, when hackers successfully broke into Sony PlayStation Network and stole a huge chunk of data from more than 77 million accounts. Later on the 2nd May, Sony further declared that hackers also stole another chunk of data, this time of almost 25 million user accounts via their Sony Online Entertainment website. The first attack on PSN is being considered to be the most large hack attack in the Internet history, which left the Sony devastated and it had to immediately suspend most of its services, including PlayStation Network, for almost a month.

After the reports of the first vicious data theft faced by Sony Corp. which after a long silence was told to be as big as the data of 77million accounts one the Sony PlayStation Network. Just again recently, on Monday, Sony Corp. has again announced that additional 24.6 million accounts are also to be added to that already huge number. With such unacceptably large number of accounts compromised and detailed information about them leaked, it is highly arguable that if there are even any accounts left with Sony to be hacked yet.
