Sony Notifies Thousands of Employees of Data Breach After Hacker Exploits File Transfer Platform

Sony Interactive Entertainment notified around 6,800 employees that their personal info was exposed in a hack earlier this year.

The breach was related to a vulnerability in Progress Software's MOVEit file transfer platform also used by Sony.

The hack occurred on May 28 when an unauthorized actor exploited the vulnerability to download SIE files.

Sony identified the breach on June 2, took MOVEit offline, and notified authorities.

Sony is offering free credit monitoring and identity restoration services to affected individuals.
