Sony data leak or Security breach is affecting 6,791 employees whose personal information has been exposed.

The data breach at Sony has impacted both its current and former employees, as well as their family members.

“On June 2, 2023, Sony discovered the unauthorized downloads, immediately took the platform offline, and remediated the vulnerability,” the letter added.

“An investigation was then launched with assistance from external cybersecurity experts. We also notified law enforcement,” the company said.

The server has been taken offline and now. Moreover, there is no indication that customer or business partner data was stored on this affected server.

The incident did not have any adverse impact on Sony’s overall Operation. The company has been investigating the claims of a security breach.

Earlier in July, the data leak cases have increased in India. Now, an Indian multinational public sector bank and financial services statutory body, State Bank of India (SBI) 12000 employees’ sensitive data has been leaked on Telegram channels.

Not only this, it is also claimed that the threat actor has access to the financial details of millions of consumers. They have also claimed to compromise data on publicly accessible leak forums.

The screenshots show that the threat actor has access to a wide range of financial information, including account numbers, PINs, and transaction history.

SBI employee information such as account numbers, photo IDs, work IDs, IPs, phone numbers, addresses, names, and other personal details has been leaked. 

Recently, The report, titled “The Cyber-Resilient CEO,” is based on a survey of 1,000 CEOs from large organizations globally. Accenture’s research points to the reactive way in which CEOs treat cybersecurity, which results in greater risk of attacks and higher costs to respond to and remediate them.

It notes that 60% of CEOs said their organizations don’t incorporate cybersecurity into business strategies, services or products from the outset, and more than four in 10 (44%) of the CEOs believe that cybersecurity requires episodic intervention rather than ongoing attention.

Three-quarters (74%) of CEOs are concerned about their organizations’ ability to avert or minimize damage to the business from a cyberattack—despite the fact that 96% of CEOs said that cybersecurity is critical to organizational growth and stability.
