LONDON (AP) — British regulators fined Sony 250,000 pounds ($396,100) on Thursday for having insufficient security measures to prevent a cyberattack on its PlayStation Network.

The attack in April 2011 targeted credit card information through Sony's PlayStation Network and put millions of users' personal information — including names, addresses, birth dates and account passwords — at risk.
