Just weeks after Sony restored its PlayStation Network, the company reports that it has once again been the target of hackers.

According to Mashable, the company revealed Sunday that hackers had targeted the company’s websites in Greece. 

Usernames, passwords, email addresses and phone numbers were all stolen in the attack, Sony told Dow Jones Newswires, but no credit card numbers were involved in the free sites. Sony says it immediately shut down the websites and will restore them after a security review.

While the latest attack is cause for concern, it is minor compared to the previous attack on Sony’s PlayStation Network. That attack involved the information of 77 million users.
