Sony Online Entertainment old database exposed, despite previous assurances
Sony last night confessed that more customer data has been hacked, with the personal sensitive information of some 24.6 million SOE users exposed.
The total number of compromised Sony customer profiles has now reached over 100 million.
A new mass-email alert will be sent to 24.6 million Sony Online Entertainment customers, who play games such as Everquest and DC Universe Online.
The 24.6 million user number is unconfirmed, though cited in a Reuters report.
One individual has also accessed an outdated Sony database from 2007, the copany admitted.
This contains around 12,700 credit card numbers and expiration dates, and about 10,700 direct debit records which show account details.

Another seperate server, which contains up-to-date credit card data, has not been compromised, Sony added.
All Sony Online Entertainment games have been switched off.
