Possible lawsuit against Sony

Ontario has filled a lawsuit against Sony Corporation for breach of privacy. The attack came after Sony revealed on Monday that hackers had taken personal information from over one hundred million user accounts worldwide. Personal data included user’s names, addresses, birth dates, passwords and billing information.

The Toronto law firm, McPhadden Samac Tuovi, proposed a class action lawsuit against Sony Japan, Sony USA, Sony Canada and other Sony entities. The dispute claims damages in excess of one billion dollars, which would include Sony paying the costs of credit monitoring services and fraud insurance coverage for two years. Allegations still need to be proven in court by plaintiff representative, Natasha Maksimovic.
