Sony announced on Wednesday that it suspended more or less 93,000 accounts on it’s online network after detecting new breach in their network security. According to their official statement, they have detected a large amount of sign-in attempts after what they call a massive data breach.

The sign-in attempts happened between October 7 and 10 for about 93,000 accounts on its PlayStation Network, Sony Entertainment Network and Sony Online Entertainment services. They however assured the public that the accounts involved are all safe and no data has been compromised.

As precautionary measure, Sony has temporarily locked those accounts and are now investigating up to what extent are the results of the unauthorised activities. They are also going to notify those account holders and they will be advised to reset their passwords.

It can be remembered that some months ago, Sony was again a victim of another attack that compromised more than 100 million online accounts that even temporarily halted the operation of its PlayStation Network and Qriocity music services. This latest attack means further damage to the reputation of Sony when it comes to the credibility of the security of their network.
