Sony has been in the news a lot lately for all the wrong reasons. The company is being sued for patent infringement, its PlayStation 4 console is being hacked, and now it seems that Sony may have been caught with its hand in the cookie jar too. According to a report by Forbes, Sony may have been using software that allows hackers to access user data on its PlayStation 4 console. The software was developed by Sony’s own security firm and was used on some of the company’s older consoles. The report says that this software was used to track users’ activities and allowed hackers access to their personal information. It also says that this software was used on some of Sony’s biggest games titles, such as Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Bloodborne. This isn’t the first time that Sony has been caught with its hand in the cookie jar. Earlier this year, it was revealed that PlayStation 3 users were able to access user data through their PSN account even though they were not supposed to be able to do so. This incident led to a lot of criticism from gamers who felt that Sony had not done enough to protect their systems.
