    Default Sony Ericsson's Canadian online store hacked, more than 2,000 customers' data taken

    The hackers just won't give poor Sony a break, will they? Following the infamous PSN breach last month and an attack on the company's Greek online music service earlier this week, Sony Ericsson has now seen another intrusion that extracted personal data of more than 2,000 Canadian Eshop customers. Fortunately, the company claims that passwords taken were encrypted and no credit card details were lost, but this is still worrisome nevertheless. Right now, the Eshop service has been taken off line -- for the sake of Sir Howard and his Japanese chums, let's just hope that this will be the last Sony breach we hear about.

    Hot damn, here I was considering a Xperia Play in addition to a HTC-series droid... looks like the HTC droid will be the winner right now

    See not long ago this would hardly even be news but thanks to Sony's lazy, arrogant view of security people expect sites everywhere to beef up their security, so i guess you could say Sony's leading by bad example but it's just sad this is the most you can be thankful of Sony for lately.
