Today, Sony finally put all its services back online after getting hacked over a month ago.
Today also, Sony gets hacked again:
Lulz Security said it broke into servers which run SonyPictures.com.
It said it had hacked into a database that included unencrypted passwords as well as names, addresses and dates of birth of Sony customers.
In April, hackers broke into Sony's PlayStation Network and stole data from more than 77 million accounts.
There's not much information about this yet, this is breaking news.
Lulzsec, the hacking group that made headlines recently for injecting itself onto the PBS front page and pronouncing Tupac Shakur to be alive and in hiding, has announced that it has “compromised over 1,000,000 users’ personal information,” which reportedly included unencrypted passwords and lots of personal information. Lulzsec claims to have used “a very simple SQL injection” in its attack.
Unlike the PlayStation Network breach, however, Lulzsec has released samples of its findings. That includes about 39,000 email / password combinations and 12,500 more with email, password, homes addresses, and dates of birth. About 600 usernames, emails, and passwords were also nabbed from Sony BMG Netherlands. We’re still going through those files, but so far it doesn’t look good. We’ve reached out to Sony Pictures for comment.
We’ve actually called several of the numbers listed in published files, and so far they line up with the associated names and addresses.

There is no such company as "Sony Entertainment". SCE and Sony Pictures are two divisions of the same company.

Sorry, Yes I forgot the word, 'Computers' in between Sony and Entertainment. But still, Sony Pictures isn't the same as Sony Computers Entertainment. It's sort of like Hacking the Powerade company to get revenge on Coca-Cola.
If your first reaction to this is "THEY HACKED THE WRONG BRANCH OF SONY!!! IDIOTS!!" then you missed the point big time.
Also, Coca-Cola is the Powerade company.

Exactly my point.
What?

There's no "sub-branch" of Coca-Cola responsible for manufacturing Powerade. That's like saying that the Sony Computer Entertainment that created the Playstation 2 is somehow a different company than the Sony Computer Entertainment that created the Playstation 3.

That was the entire point. The fact that they (successfully) targeted a completely different part of Sony does much more to expose serious problems with their large-scale corporate practices. Hitting the Playstation Network a second time would have done nothing but piss off PSN users even more.

Hacks don't hurt people, poor security does.

Wow, you'd think that after the first hack they'd change and upgrade all their sites. The hackers are like vultures coming down to put Sony's internet finances to ruin.
SQL injection is so simple that I first learned about it in sixth or seventh grade, silly for them not to hash the passwords as well  |

Sony's just lazy. And cheap. And this is what you get when that happens.

Wow, lol. Never would think it would be plaintext passwords in an acmlm board. I guess it learned it the hard way. Did everyone have to change their passwords?

#58AcmlmBoard 1.0 did use some form of password encryption, a really weak one but still  (shift each character by an increasing amount then reverse it) And I'm pretty sure I used MD5 as soon as the database was switched from text files to MySQL (at version 1.5), or soon after ...
Then again, there was a way to get others' passwords in plain text by reading the password field (in New Reply) with JavaScript and sending that somewhere, and the login cookie only had a slightly less weak reversible encryption
As for Sony, I already lost count of how many times they got hacked recently  ____________________ |

I honestly want to say that one of us should download that just to make sure that none of -us- is affected and can change passwords and stuff if need be, but I don't know how effective that would be or if it would be pointless or illegal or something.
