Sony Television entertainment former staff sued the company, accused of failing to protect data December 17, according to Reuters, two people claiming to be former Sony Television entertainment Company (SPE) employees sued the company, accusing the film production company failed in last month's hacker attacks, the protection of Social Security Code, medical records, Payroll and other personal information. They filed a petition in the Federal Court of Los Angeles in Monday to launch a class action lawsuit. According to the lawsuit, Sony failed to protect its computer network and confidential information, "The nightmare was shown in slow motion in front of Sony's current staff and former staff, but it was more suitable to be filmed as a horror film than in real life". The plaintiff said that unidentified hackers leaked data on the Internet, including home addresses, telephone numbers, birthdays, social security codes, wages, medical records, performance evaluations and reasons for dismissal. The lawsuit is expected to represent all the Sony American staff and former staff members who were affected by the leak to initiate class action. Gretchen,freeman,cappio, the plaintiff's lawyer, said her firm had heard a lot of staff Frieman Capio about the leak. According to the lawsuit, Sony "knows or should know that such data leaks are possible" because the 2011 PS video Game Network was hacked and the retailer's data leaks were recently reported. In the PS case, Sony paid 15 million dollars for reconciliation. The plaintiff in the lawsuit demanded Sony to compensate for the losses and provide credit monitoring services, identity theft insurance and other remedial measures. Sony spokeswoman declined to comment. Marcia Hoffman, a San Francisco lawyer who specializes in internet law, said that although some data leaks were reconciled, she did not know whether all the cases had entered the proceedings and that they had been judged in favour of the plaintiff. "I'm not saying it's never going to happen," she said. " "The plaintiff in the case is Michael Corona (Michael,corona) and Christine Na Massis (christina,mathis), the defendant is Sony Television entertainment company, submitted by the court in Central California district Court.
