All the roads lead to one place called >>> SONY, the names may differ, but the target is same.
The new hacking group that called LulzSec has announced yet another successful attack on Sony, this time breaching:

  • Pictures
  • 1 million passwords
  • 75,000 “music codes”
  • 3.5 million “music coupons”.

What is the statement on the attack:

Greetings folks. We’re LulzSec, and welcome to Sownage. Enclosed you willfind various collections of data stolen from internal Sony networks and websites,all of which we accessed easily and without the need for outside support or money.
We recently broke into SonyPictures.com and compromised over 1,000,000 users’personal information, including passwords, email addresses, home addresses,dates of birth, and all Sony opt-in data associated with their accounts.Among other things, we also compromised all admin details of Sony Pictures(including passwords) along with 75,000 “music codes” and 3.5 million “music coupons”.
Due to a lack of resource on our part (The Lulz Boat needs additional funding!)we were unable to fully copy all of this information, however we have samplesfor you in our files to prove its authenticity. In theory we could have takenevery last bit of information, but it would have taken several more weeks.
Our goal here is not to come across as master hackers, hence what we’re aboutto reveal: SonyPictures.com was owned by a very simple SQL injection, one ofthe 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 ina 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 storedover 1,000,000 passwords of its customers in plaintext, which means it’s justa matter of taking it. This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it.
This is an embarrassment to Sony; the SQLi link is provided in our file contents,and we invite anyone with the balls to check for themselves that what we sayis true. You may even want to plunder those 3.5 million coupons while you can.
Included in our collection are databases from Sony BMG Belgium & Netherlands.These also contain varied assortments of Sony user and staffer information.
Follow our sexy asses on twitter to hear about our upcoming website. Ciao! ^_^

Sony has been the target of numerous hacker attacks since it decided to sue Geohot for non-malicious jailbreaking of the PlayStation. Its PlayStation network was taken down for over a month and is still struggling to get back up. The Los Angeles Times estimates that the PlayStation hack alone has cost Sony more than $172 million, nearly as much as the company incurred in damage from the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March.
