Sony has revealed a second breach of networks, with a hack and theft of credit card information from the Sony Online Entertainment network which has 24.6 million customers.
Sony -- which has kept its Sony PlayStation Network offline for nearly two weeks as it investigates a computer intrusion -- took a second gaming network offline on Monday, saying it too appears to have been hacked. It said banking and credit card information belonging to more than 23,000 customers outside the U.S. may have been compromised.

It is one thing to get hacked, it is quite another to be so negligent that the hacks yield maximum paydirt.
