Sony Interactive Hit by Massive Data Breach

October 5, 2023
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Incidents

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), responsible for PlayStation consoles, has fallen victim to a significant data breach in 2023. The breach, attributed to the Cl0p ransomware gang, exposed sensitive data of thousands of former employees.

Personal details, including Social Security numbers (SSNs), were compromised in the MOVEit Transfer attacks, posing identity theft risks to the affected individuals. SIE promptly remediated the vulnerability after discovering the breach in June, emphasizing that it only affected the MOVEit Transfer platform and not other systems.

The breach notification was sent to both current and former employees of SIE, extending to family members. SIE has taken measures to assist those affected by offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services, urging vigilance in monitoring account statements and credit histories.

Cl0p, a Russia-linked cybercrime cartel, exploited a zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer, a file-transferring software. This incident highlights the growing threat of ransomware gangs targeting high-profile organizations and the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive data.

The Cl0p ransomware group, also known as TA505, Lace Tempest, Dungeon Spider, and FIN11, has been active since 2019 and continues to target various organizations.

The breach further underscores the escalating cybersecurity challenges faced by companies globally, with other notable victims including TD Ameritrade, American Airlines, TJX, TomTom, Autozone, and Johns Hopkins University, among others. Sony, a multinational video game and digital entertainment company, has pledged to address the breach and enhance its security measures to prevent future incidents.
