Sony Corp, targeted since April by hacker attacks that have compromised more than 100 million customer accounts, is investigating two new possible intrusions.

The company suspended its Brazilian music entertainment website while it looks into a possible breach. Sony is also investigating a hacker group’s claim that it stole data related to the company’s game operation.

Sony fell in Tokyo trading, extending declines amid attacks that the company has said may cost 14 billion yen ($174 million) this year. Japan’s largest exporter of consumer electronics reported the new attacks two days after saying hackers had broken into its European unit’s website. No customer information was accessed during that intrusion, the company said.

The possible attack on Sony’s Brazilian website may have altered some content.
