Sony is now the target of a lawsuit over negligence in protecting users' data. This isn't surprising, considering Sony only just admitted that users' personal data may have been compromised in the recent PlayStation Network hack.

Kristopher Johns of Birmingham, Alabama, filed the negligence suit on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

On Tuesday, the company said a hacker broke into the PSN and Qriocity servers between April 17 and 19 and potentially gained access to players' personal information, including, possibly, stored credit card information. The company hopes to begin restoring services within a week.
