Sony Corp., under scrutiny over delays in warning 77 million customers that their personal information may have been stolen, declined to testify at a U.S. House hearing on data theft, according to a lawmaker’s aide.

The company told lawmakers it was unable to appear because of an ongoing investigation into the intrusion, Ken Johnson, a spokesman for Representative Mary Bono Mack, a California Republican, said today in an interview.
