priority and we have been working with the appropriate authorities to quickly contain and resolve the situation."


Fasulo added that the company has taken great measures to ensure the

security of all Sony Electronics Web sites and that there is no indication of any compromises to Sonystyle.com or the security of the site's data.

The company is urging consumers that have received this e-mail to discard it. If, by chance, consumers have responded to this fraudulent e-mail they should visit www.sony.com/news for more information.
