 A reporting error linked the PlayStation 4 to Paris attacks | The Verge

All morning, outlets from the Today Show to CNN were sharing a new angle on the brutal attacks that struck Paris on Friday: Could the attacks have been planned on a PlayStation 4? At a conference, Belgian federal interior minister Jan Jambon described ISIS’s preference for the platform and many outlets described a Playstation 4 being found at the apartment of one of the attackers, which was enough for the story to spread across dozens of different sites.

There’s only one problem: the interview took place three days before the Paris attacks. The Forbes reporter who championed the PlayStation connection, including new details about a PlayStation 4 being found at an attacker’s apartment, has now admitted toKotaku that he got the story wrong, entirely inventing the discovery of the console at the attacker’s apartment. That leaves us with no evidence linking the PlayStation 4 or Sony networks to the Paris attacks.
