TOKYO –  Sony said Wednesday it had found a “large amount” of unauthorized sign-in attempts on its PlayStation Network and other online entertainment services, and that it has temporarily suspended about 93,000 user accounts for those services.

The Japanese electronics and entertainment giant said in a statement that credit card details for those user accounts are “not at risk,” Dow Jones Newswires reported.

The attempts took place between October 7 and 10 and succeeded in verifying valid sign-in IDs and passwords of about 93,000 accounts on its PlayStation Network, Sony Entertainment Network and Sony Online Entertainment services.
