Following a huge online hack attack on Sony in April 2011, the firm revealed that user details from 24.6 million accounts in its massively multiplayer online (MMO) gaming arm, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), may have been stolen. Games effected in this were Everquest I & II, Free Realms, Vanguard, Clone Wars Adventures and DC Universe Online (right). Approximately 12,700 credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates, plus 10,700 direct debit records, could have been compromised as part of the hack, leading to SOE taking all of its MMOs offline for 12 days.
