Hackers Steal Customer Information From Sony Servers




A group of hackers announced today that they have assaulted several websites of Sony and the commitment of personal data from customers on Sony.

The group, calling itself "Lulzsec," is the same group that published false news stories PBS.com weekend.

They have been promising the Sony after the attacks last weekend, a plan they called "the beginning of the end" for Sony. When the challenge is to show what they found, the Group now has added links to examples of information and Twitter threatened with internal networks and Web sites for Sony, as Sony Pictures, Sony Music Belgium, the Netherlands and Sony Music.

Pastebin site, Lulzsec wrote: "We recently broke into SonyPictures.com and compromise the users' personal information 1,000,000, including passwords, email addresses, home addresses, birth date, and Sony all opt-in data associated with their accounts. Among other things, we also have compromised all the details of administration of Sony Pictures (including passwords) with "music codes" and 3.5 million "75,000 good music."

The group said they lacked the resources to copy all the information available, but the display to "try" to prove their authenticity. The group said they might take longer, but it would have taken "several weeks".

Seem to download files containing names, addresses, e-mail address and password, but it is unclear how many of the samples, whose group.
