No one is more eager than Sony to put 
the recent cyberattacks on the PlayStation Network behind them. Unfortunately, there are still some hurdles to clear.
The electronics giant issued an earnings warning Monday, noting that early estimates on the cost of the PlayStation Network breach have hit about $172 million. And that figure could increase in the months to come.
As Sony continues to struggle with its recent 
cyberattack, another video game publisher has had its database hacked.
Square Enix has confirmed hackers gained access to a database on Wednesday, taking 25,000 email addresses along with 350 employee resumes.
Even the unfortunate people whose personal 
information was stolen in the great PlayStation data heist of 2011 have to feel a little bad for Sony these days – or maybe some Schadenfreude.
Between the initial hack — in which 77 million accounts were compromised — the continued disruption of the PlayStation Network and the subsequent discovery that another 25 million accounts had been hacked, the once proud tech giant has been brought to its knees. Can it rise again?
