Kristopher Johns of Birmingham, Alabama, filed a lawsuit against Sony in federal court in San Francisco. He accuses Sony of negligent data security practices, privacy violations and breach of warranty. The lawsuit seeks both compensatory and punitive damages from Sony. Sony acknowledged that unknown intruders breached the PlayStation Network between April 17 and 19. The intrusion compromised the names, addresses, birth dates, purchase histories, online IDs and in some cases credit card data, the company said.”]
