Sony just can't get the hang of this security disclosure thing.
The company took Sony Online Entertainment down last night because of a problem discovered while Sony investigated last week's breach of the PlayStation Network.
In a note on the SOE Web site, the company promised to provide more information on Monday. But the day is almost done in most of the world and there's still no more word about what happened and what user data -- if any -- may have been stolen.
Sony Online Entertainment is the home for a bunch of online PC games, including Everquest, which claims more than 400,000 players.
Bloomberg cites a Nikkei news report saying that more than 12,000 credit card numbers may have been stolen in a second attack unrelated to last week's breach.
It took almost a week for Sony executives to explain and apologize for the PlayStation Network breach. The company admitted that hackers may have stolen personal information from the 77 million people using the service.
