The net is dubbing it as "Sony's weekly hacking" now.

Now they've been hacked and Sony have put up there "defences" so to speak i'd expect every hacker and wannabe worth there salt is trying to hack into Sony again just to show em up so I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few more instances of this.

Like Rich said, a bunch of spotty greasy teens with inferiority complexes desperately trying to justify their existence.

I almost pity them. Almost.

It makes me laugh. Eider Sony's Security system is as good as zero or those hackers are doing one heck of a good job.

Another hack again.
Reportedly, hackers used yet another SQL injection attack tohttp://www.sankakucomplex.com/goto/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13636704 break into the database of SonyPictures.com, making off with the account details of a million users, including names, addresses, email addresses, and passwords, though mercifully not credit card details. No confirmation is yet forthcoming from Sony, but the perpetrators have helpfully posted all the data obtained online, something unlikely to endear them to Sony customers.
The group claiming responsibility for this hack has also taken things a step further, having been publicly taunting and threatening Sony via Twitter for some time.
From their twitter.
[INDENT]“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 plain text, which means it’s just a matter of taking it.
This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it.”
