Sir Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony, sounded less apologetic and more prickly when asked today about the PlayStation makerās slowness in informing PlayStation Network and Qriocity subscribers of an attack on the companyās network.
Reuters reports that Stringer fired back at critics who questioned Sonyās promptness after the April attack on the companyās PlayStation Network. His testy response is in contrast to the humble apologies issued by Japanese executives at the beginning of May.
Stringer also endorsed PlayStation boss Kaz Hiraiās efforts during the breach and subsequent downtime for PlayStation owners.
As for the financial impact on Sony? āThe charges mount up, but they donāt add up to a number we can quantify just yet,ā Stringer said.
