Things just keep worse for the electronic's company who admitted to a security breach one week after it actually happened, leaving millions of user's credit card information among other personal information out in the open.

Sony was slapped with the Class Action Lawsuit by the Rothken Law Firm in California.

"We brought this lawsuit on behalf of consumers to learn the full extent of Sony PlayStation Network data security practices and the data loss and to seek a remedy for consumers. We are hopeful that Sony will take this opportunity to learn from the network vulnerabilities, provide a remedy to consumers who entrusted their sensitive data to Sony, and lead the way in data security best practices going forward," -

Attorney Ira P. Rothken stated and co-counsel J.R. Parker followed with

, "Sony's breach of its customers' trust is staggering. Sony promised its customers that their information would be kept private. One would think that a large multinational corporation like Sony has strong protective measures in place to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of personal information, including credit card information. Apparently, Sony doesn't,".

If things could not get any worse publicly for Sony, a Conneticut Senator has also made his outrage known about the recent breach by sending Sony CEO Jack Tretton an email demanding answers that was made public for all eyes to see.
