Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Network has been compromised again, according to some reports.
The new compromise follows a nearly monthlong outage prompted by a hack that exposed the personal details of millions of users, possibly including payment card information.
The video game news site Nyleveia reported seeing a demonstration of an exploit that allows a person with a user's email address and birth date to change a user's password online. The May 18 article said that those items are among the personal information exposed in the earlier breach.
Other publications, including the video game news site Eurogamer, also claim to have seen evidence of the same exploit. Sony has since taken its online password-changing system offline for maintenance to fix the exploit.
