Sony today released specific details regarding the identity-theft monitoring promised to its customers whose personal information was exposed in a cyberattack against the company's servers.
Sony has made a deal with identity-protection firm Debix to offer a service called AllClear ID Plus for free to U.S. customers registered withPlayStationNetwork or Qriocity prior to the attack two weeks ago, Sony spokesman Patrick Seyboldwrote in a blog posttoday.
Customers will be able to enroll in the program through an activation e-mail they'll receive"over the next few days."Registration will be open till June 18.
Sony says this offer applies only to U.S. customers, but it is working on similar offers for PSN and Qriocity account holders in other countries. Sony did not mention whether a similar offer would be made to Sony Online customers whose information was also exposed.
Sony says it doesn't know who orchestrated what it's callinga"highly sophisticated, planned"attackthat exposed the records of more than 100 million of its customers two weeks ago. The company is still working to retool its servers and bring PlayStation Network and Qriocity back online. Sony said today it is in the"final stages of internal testing"before restoring service.
Sony said over the weekend that it planned other waysof compensating customers, though no further information was included in today's update.
On the weekend, Sony said that in addition to ID-theft monitoring, it would offer some free downloads and 30 days of free PlayStation Plus premium service to Sony customers affected by the breach. Qriocity Music Unlimited subscribers will also get free service for 30 days.
