Sony Corp., reeling from the second-largest online data breach in U.S. history, shut down some Internet services in Canada, Thailand and Indonesia after detecting unauthorized intrusions.
Intruders stole the names and e-mail addresses of about 2,000 customers at Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB’s Canadian website, while a site in Thailand may have been modified to help send fraudulent e-mails, spokesman Atsuo Omagari said. The company also suspended a site in Indonesia because of a suspected attack and found Web codes for the Japanese music unit were stolen, he said.
