Sony says hack cost $15m, trims forecast

Sony Corp trimmed its forecast of losses and estimates the Sony Pictures hack cost it about $15 million, but expects no significant harm from the cyberattack in the long run.

Sony also issued new earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending in March and said it was benefiting from strong sales of the PlayStation 4, other devices and network services.

The hack became public in December when the Hollywood studio's computers were crippled and sensitive documents were posted online.
