Sony Sacked Security Staff Before Big Breach

ORLY? The plot thickens.

From thinq_:

A lawsuit filed this week suggests that Sony sacked a bunch of employees from its network security division just two weeks before the company’s servers were hacked and its customers’ credit card details leaked.

The suit, which seeks class action status, is being brought by Felix Cortorreal, Jimmy Cortorreal, and Jacques Daoud Jr. – all victims of the massive data breach that took place in April – “on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated.”

Rather interesting timing. Two weeks before being massively hacked they managed to let go of a number of their network security staff.

I’m not a betting man but, if I wanted to double my money…

Just saying.
