After the damaging PSN hacking incident that led to weeks of downtime and left over 70 million accounts compromised, things are finally looking up for Sony. Speaking at the IFA press conference in Germany, Sony CEO Howard Stringer reportedly told those in attendance that over 3 million new accounts have been created since the network intrusion.

What’s more, sales are better than ever. It appears the security blunder has done little to dampen consumer confidence.

“I’m pleased to tell you that the PSN is more secure and better than ever,” said Stringer.

“We are aggressively expanding its content. We have more than 3 million new customers since the network came back online, and sales are exceeding what we had before the cyberattacks.”
