An intruder has apparently broken into So-net, an ISP subsidiary of Sony, and stolen about $1,200 worth of virtual tokens.
So-net disclosed the compromise in an alert (written in Japanese) on its home page on Thursday.
Meanwhile, security firm F-Secure today disclosed that it has also discovered a phishing site that's hosted on a Sony server in Thailand.
"Basically this means that Sony has been hacked, again," Mikko Hypponen, F-Secure's chief research officer, noted in the blog post. "Although in this case the server is probably not very important," he added.
News of the latest breaches come barely a month after Sony disclosed intrusions at its PlayStation Network and Sony Entertainment Online sites that compromised data on almost 100 million account holders.
A So-net spokesman told The Wall Street Journal, which broke the story, that the breach of the ISP is unlikely connected to the previous compromises.
