And once again Sony is sued due to it's lack of care for it's customers, but this time it comes from the Canadian lawyers...
The Canadian law firm based out of Toronto Ontario, McPhadden Samac Tuovi, has filed a class action lawsuit against Sony claiming damages of over $1 billion for breach of consumer privacy due to Sony's recent security fiasco on the PlayStation Network and Qriocity. They are also asking for Sony to foot the bill for two years of credit monitoring and fraud insurance for approximately 1 million PSN and Qriocity users in Canada.
The class action suit was filed against Sony Japan, Sony USA, Sony Canada as well as other Sony entities. The claim was filed on behalf of Mississauga resident Natasha Maksimovic, who alleges Sony has exposed its customer base to identity and financial theft, as well as other more personal matters such as "fear, anxiety and emotional distress."
Natasha went on record with The Canadian Press stating:
"If you can't trust a huge multinational corporation like Sony to protect your private information, who can you trust? It appears to me that Sony focuses more on protecting its games than its PlayStation users."
It' seems that this mistake on Sony's part will not be let go lightly.
And may perhaps be the downfall of the company?
Only time will tell i suppose...
