United States Department of Homeland Security joined the FBI, the Federal Trade Commission and several other legal agencies in the investigation of burglary Playstation Network (PSN) last week. Burglary is estimated to have been endangering the security of about 77 million owner PSN account.
U.S. Security Department spokesman Chris Ortman said the Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) (emergency response team against computer crime), they are working with several national law enforcement agencies and international and Sony to study the situation. Recent developments of this case, the FBI said that they were reviewing all available information to find out the facts and background of this criminal case.
Personal data in the accounts of the PSN that are exposed to provide access to other accounts outside of the PSN, such as governmental agencies. Sony said that PSN account owner information such as name, address, date of birth, e-mail address, login name and password may be exposed because this data is not encrypted by the PSN. Fortunately, credit card data had been encrypted, then according to Sony, to date data on the credit card owner's account is still safe, although the possibility has come from exposure is still there.
For that to own Kotakers PSN account, a bright spot of this case is that your friends list and Playstation Trophies that you get will still be there when the PSN is scheduled to be reopened would be reopened next week.
