Sony just can’t seem to catch a break. First there was the PSN breach last month and then an attack on the company’s Greek online music service earlier this week and now Sony Ericsson has been hacked again with the personal data of more than 2,000 Canadian Eshop customers taken.

The company says that the passwords taken were encrypted and no credit card details were lost, but this is still a huge problem. The Eshop service has been taken off line for now. What will be next?

Splitfish is bringing its PC and PS3 mouse controller to the Xbox. However this version needs a wired Xbox 360 gamepad to act as an intermediary between itself and the console. Seems an odd design choice. The wired controller plugs into the Shark’s wireless USB dongle, while the “fragchuck” and mouse are completely free of wires.

It doesn’t sound like a setup that I would want to deal with but if you want to give it a try, it will be available in late August.
