Sony Hacked Again, 24.6 Mln Users' Data at Risk

BEIJING: Hackers may have stolen personal information of 24.6 million Sony Online Entertainment users, the company disclosed Monday afternoon. The compromised accounts were in addition to the recent leak of over 70 million accounts from Sony's PlayStation Network, an online game and entertainment service for its PlayStation 3 console. The Japanese electronics company said the break-in also led to the theft of 10,700 direct debit records from customers in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain and 12,700 non-U.S. credit or debit card numbers.

In both cases, the stolen data includes customer names, e-mail addresses and ha...

Archaeologists Hunt for Mona Lisa Model

Italian archaeologists are digging the remains of Lisa Gherardini, a 16th-century woman who is widely believed to be the model for the famous portrait Mona Lisa, AFP reported on Wednesday. The team of historians say they will try to find the remains using geo-radar equipment and then try to re-create a likeness of what the woman, Lisa Gherardini, would have looked like to compare her to Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Gherardini (1479-1542), also known by her married name as Lisa del Giocondo, was the wife of a Florentine silk merchant and is widely believed to have been the model for the  portrait that now hangs in the Louvre in Paris. But the issue has never been settled definitively and mystery still shrouds the model's enigmatic expression and other details of the portrait.

A bemused pope can be seen tapping on the tablet device in his Vatican palace in footage put up on YouTube this week, with a cardinal showing the 84-year-old how to scroll through the Holy See's new multimedia web portal.

"Rescue Me," the Denis Leary-starring show about a New York City firefighter, begins its final season Wednesday night. Over the years, the show has been praised for its treatment of Sept. 11, for its examination of alcoholism and for the cast's performances. It's also been criticized for all those thingsFinal season starts tonight. Anyone else excited? I have followed this show from the beginning and I am interested to see how it wraps up.As the final chapter of Rescue Me begins, unsparing as ever as it alternates between raunchy dark comedy and lacerating drama, anti-hero firefighter legend Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary) remains a haunted and harried man, beset by ghosts and recurring guilt-mares over the mess he's made of his life.When it comes to their patients, however (victims, in Gavin’s case), there’s nothing they won’t do to prevent death and suffering, including putting their own lives at considerable risk. And it’s in the heat of battle — whether the operat...
