Sony Chairman Sorry For Personal Data Leak
Sony Corp. Chairman and President Howard Stringer on Tuesday apologized for the security breach in April that allowed hackers access to the personal data of over 100 million of its online customers.
At an annual shareholders' meeting in Tokyo, Stringer apologized for the worry and inconvenience to shareholders, customers and others caused by the hacking of Sony databases.
Stringer said the company had strengthened its information management measures by partnering with outside data security firms. Seeking to explain Sony's third straight annual net loss in fiscal 2010, Stringer argued the company had performed better than expected until the Great East Japan Earthquake struck in March.
