Sony offers U.S. customers of PlayStation Network and Qriocity online entertainment services a year of free identity- theft protection. Austin, Texas-based Debix Inc. was hired to provide the monitoring service and similar programs for users in other countries are also being considered. The announcement follows last month’s hacking of Sony’s online entertainment and games platforms. The shares fell to their lowest in a week in Tokyo today after Sony increased the total number of accounts that were comprised to 101.6 million. The company has faced a legal and political backlash over delays in the time it took to warn customers their accounts had been compromised.
