Gamereactor rapporterade tidigare i veckan om att hackergruppen LulzSec planerat ett jättetillslag mot Sony. Inatt hände det, den här gången riktade de in tillslaget mot Sony Pictures, rapporterar bland annat Svenska dagbladet.
Hackarna kom över mer än en miljon konton med alla uppgifter (lösenord, adresser med mera), och de beskriver det som att de fanns helt öppet okypterat och var bara att ta. Sony har bekräftat intrånget, och bara minuterna efter att intrånget avslöjats laddade LulzSec upp allas personuppgifter på torrent-sidan Pirate Bay.
Så här skriver LulzSec själva om attacken:
"Our goal here is not to come across as master hackers, hence what we're about to reveal: SonyPictures.com was owned by a very simple SQL injection, one of the most primitive and common vulnerabilities, as we should all know by now. From a single injection, we accessed EVERYTHING. Why do you put such faith in a company that allows itself to become open to these simple attacks?
What's worse is that every bit of data we took wasn't encrypted. Sony stored over 1,000,000 passwords of its customers in plaintext, which means it's just a matter of taking it. This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it."
Förhoppningsvis ska dock inte PSN påverkas alls av det nya intrånget som alltså skett hos dotterbolaget Sony Pictures.
