Philip Reitinger, formerly the director of Homeland Security’s National Cyber Security Center, will join Sony in the newly created position of chief information security officer and a senior vice president. Sony shut down the PlayStation Network and Qriocity streaming video and music network on April 20, keeping the services offline for nearly one month. The breach compromised the personal information of more than 100 million accounts from its online networks, including the possible loss of some credit card information. Sony said there have been no reports of any credit card data theft.
