Sony Network Communications confirmed unauthorized access to its So-net member database on October 19. The company detected the intrusion four days later and shut down the affected server. About 2.58 million records were exposed, covering current and recent former So-net and plala (S course) customers. Leaked data included names, phone numbers, email addresses, user IDs, birth dates, and connection IDs. Passwords for 54,401 email accounts across four services were also taken, along with full bank account details for 16 customers. No credit card numbers were exposed, and main account passwords for the My Page service did not leak.
The company reset the affected email passwords on October 27 and urged customers to set new ones.
