if $ony cant stop this from happening we will be having a 2 way console war next gen....

"LulzSecurity (LulzSec), a group of hackers that recently gained notoriety for hacking PBS.org’s home page with an image of NyanCat, announced Thursday that it has stolen data from Sony. It’s yet another in a seemingly endless string of embarrassing security incidents for the company, but what’s shocking is just how exposed the data was to begin with.

In a press release posted to their Web site, LulzSec claims to have broken 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.”

The theft included 75,000 “music codes” and 3.5 million “music coupons,” according to the group. LulzSec has posted segments of data they claim to have taken from Sony’s server to serve as proof of their accomplishment."

the real funny thing is they were able to access EVERYTHING with a single SQL INJECTION,people's user names\passwords were stored in PLAIN TEXT!

D'oh! LulzSec is at it again! I follow the LULZBoat on Twitter so I saw this. Can't say I'm shocked, they just seem to wanna do this kind of $hit to amuse themselves.

I think you are right.still it is a little unbelievable and a little scary that a company the size of $ony storing user names\pw in text,that is pure laziness for you

Having formerly worked for a company that prides itself on security, encrypting data is not that difficult! Like, Sony, WTF dudes! If you can crapify video and music files with DRM and sue "pr8s", why can't you encrypt the personally identifiable info of your customers? I guess we know what is really most important to ya!

For whatever reason this is becoming some game to them. To list them in ways that I saw them in order it starts with Sony, Nintendo, The Government, Sega, Square-enix, and now EA. I really wonder whats going on in their messed up little heads.
