A potential new wrinkle in the cyber attack on Sony Computer’s PlayStation Network: a knowledgeable source tells Bloomberg that the hacker responsible for the security breach waged the attack using rented Amazon.com servers.
The hacker used a bogus name to register with Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service, which offers server capacity on demand for pennies per hour.
Sony executives told Reuters on Tuesday, however, that they had seen no evidence of Amazon servers being used in the attack.
