        May 2011: Personal Details on 25 Million Sony Online Entertainment Customers Stolen

        June 2011: Sony Pictures Website Hacked, Exposing One Million Accounts

        November 2014: Hackers Steal 100 Terabytes of Data from Sony Pictures

        August 2017: Hacker Group Accesses Sony Social Media Accounts
