All Rights Reserved You Protect, They Apologize According to Bloomberg News, Sony has been subpoenaed by New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman, who is "seeking information on what Sony told customers about the security of their networks, as part of a consumer protection inquiry." (Source: informationweek.com) Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.), the subcommittee chair, said that Sony should have informed its consumers of the breach earlier and said its efforts were “half-hearted, half-baked.” She was particularly critical of Sony’s decision to first notify customers of the attack via its company blog, leaving it up to customers to search for information on the breach.
