Sony Pictures hacked

[Sir VG]

Remind me, since I've lost count here. How many of Sony's servers were hacked into by basic SQL injections? And how many have had data stored in plain text?

Seriously Sony, those are such basic mistakes, even an idiot knows better!

Microsoft is unhackable.

That isn't true at all...

um... it a everyday thing now.

yeah not even google, which was recently hacked by chinese uhh hackers...

 

[Joe88]

no, they're working to get a better rep themselves

pretty sure its this
in one tweet they were bragging about how they hacked FOX, PBS, and Sony in only 23 days and posted all their stolen info on their web site

they also seem to be contractors being employed other people, they said another person paid them to hack the PBS site

their main site seems to have been shut down already
im surprised their twitter also hasnt been shut down, since its being used for illegal activities and such

I guess those hackers really mean what they say

If that's the case, then GBAtemp's twitter account should be shut down considering this site basically talks about bypassing security on ROMs and everything.

Has anyone kept a tally of how many times Sony has been hacked now since (and including) the breach that happened initially that led to the PSN shut down?

 

[chris888222]

I believe all of this hacking will stop only when the 'Project NGP' is cancelled.

I don't know what are these hackers aiming. But I suppose they're jealous.

Sony was also a little greedy and made every single electronic appliance out there that they sorta neglected the security tech.

No offense, all my speculation.

BURN HACKERS.

*ahem*

Most immature post I've made in a while. I think.

I'm just glad it's virtually impossible for them to do anything to Sony's production of anything outside online data.

If they could post their motives on twitter that would be just great. You know? Like what they're trying to accomplish or the reason they're going through all this trouble. Because honestly, I don't think these types of attacks will do anything to phase Sony. Just make their customers fell unsafe if they ever caught wind of these attacks.

Agreed.

It's not like production of records and movies, product manufacturing and most other aspects will be affected.

Sony Computer Entertainment isn't really that big of an aspect to the company as a whole I think.

No argument that this forms but a small part of the Sony corporation and not saying it would be easy or even all that possible if security was sorted properly (messing up web coding is one thing but infrastructure is quite another) but there is a lot of work being put into infrastructure attacks (the obvious entry point to that world being the stuxnet stuff of last year, some of the mobile phone attacks or maybe router attacks). A nice subtle thing like hosing up the quality control sections of a plant could make for a serious PR and financial disaster. I agree entirely it would be better fitting as the plot of a bad film but it would tickle me to watch it happen.

I will say I do find the defence of Sony bit quite amusing; bet on the wrong horse, might as well be doing a rallying cry for HD DVD or any number of failed formats and words to that effect is what it sounds like.

Seems that it's been shut down. Lulzsec's site, I mean.

 

[Coto]

Sony should start changing root passwords at databases... heck

How the hell occur too many (many sony sites) successful SQL injections? Why the fuck don't they encrypt their bd's?

posted that last night
they said they are DDoS the cloudflare site (site who was the host of their site) in retribution for removing their site

 

[Bladexdsl]

so now their hacking their own hosts?!

 

[Heran Bago]

Sony has lost so much more in $ than Geohot. If they like playing dirty and screwing folks over they need to be more ready for itself. When you piss off the kind of people who like putting Linux on PS3s you get some backlash.
LulzSec seems to be in it for the lulz anyway.
