The latest development in the Playstation Network downtime situation has drawn the attention of a US Senator. Among those upset with Sony about its handling of the ongoing PSN fiasco—which the company just announced today might have resulted in an unauthorized individual gaining access to users’ personal data—is Connecticut senator Richard Blumenthal. In the wake of today’s news, the former Conn. Attorney General has written a letter to Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton demanding the Playstation maker do more for its customers.

“I am writing regarding a recent data breach of Sony’s PlayStation Network service,” says Blumenthal in his letter. “I am troubled by the failure of Sony to immediately notify affected customers of the breach and to extend adequate financial data security protections.” The senator wants Sony to do more than simply suggest customers get a free credit report and place a fraud alert on their files. “When a data breach occurs, it is essential that customers be immediately notified about whether and to what extent their personal and financial information has been compromised,” Blumenthal continues. Blumenthal also suggests that Sony should provide PSN users with free access to their credit reports and insurance to protect them from identity theft.
