Another Sony Hack Claims The Personal And Financial Data Of 25 Million More People

Clouds are forming over Sony

Just when you thought the Sony hacking story couldn't get any worse, it does and embarrassingly so. Last week, hackers pulled off a major computer intrusion into Sony's systems that not only knocked the PlayStation Network off the internet like it was never there in the first place, it claimed the personal and financial data of 77 million users, with estimated damages of $24 billion dollars to the company.

2,200,000 of those credit card numbers have already been offered for sale on underground hacker websites. This week it was announced, another Sony site was hacked, with the personal and financial data of 25,000,000 people being stolen. These hacks could force Sony into bankruptcy.

Based on reports, Sony's executives in New York have been subpoenaed into the U.S. Congress, but are arrogantly refusing to testify. Sony CEO, Howard Stringer, needs to get his crazy butt in there and explain himself.

Hackers are attributing the incidents to the arrogance of the company's executives in New York. As someone that has been robbed and abused by Sony, via their corrupt and immoral executives ensconced in that nuthouse they call headquarters, I can emphatically state, they are a weird and sick bunch of people whose minds are on another planet.

While I had nothing to do with the hacks, as I like staying on the right side of the law, I'm only sorry for Sony customers, not the company. After all, Sony, in tandem with Madonna, who share the same lawyer (the lawbreaking Manatt law firm), engaged in criminal conduct against me that saw hackers on the staff of Madonna.com hack my business computers, illegally copy preexisting, unreleased copyrights music and scripts, among other things, then under the complicity of the dishonorable FBI, illegally released them as their own, collecting a fortune in payment, credit and awards for it.

Sony, like Jesus says in the Bible, "You reap what you sow." What goes around comes around. Now that it has happened back to you, via hackers breaking into your computers, stealing their contents and costing you a fortune, you know, like you did to me, it isn't so funny and amusing, now is it.

Don't Blame Engineers for PSN Breach, Blame Sony Execs, Says PS3 Hacker

04/28/2011 - It was Sony's lawsuit against George Hotz that prompted hacker group Anonymous to wage war on Sony earlier this month. Anonymous might very well not have anything to do with the theft of PSN users' personal information -- it denies any involvement -- but Sony's litigiousness may have been what prompted the infiltration by hackers. If you thought there was any chance Hotz was somehow involved, think again....

"The fault lies with the (Sony) executives who declared a war on hackers, laughed at the idea of people penetrating the fortress that once was Sony, whined incessantly about piracy, and kept hiring more lawyers when they really needed to hire good security experts. Alienating the hacker community is not a good idea."

Hotz went on to speculate about how PSN was infiltrated and Sony's shortcomings (according to his theory) as compared with other companies. "Notice it's only PSN that gave away all your personal data, not Xbox Live when the 360 was hacked, not iTunes when the iPhone was jailbroken, and not GMail when Android was rooted," he noted. "Because other companies aren't crazy."

Toni Braxton Fails To Refute Spendthrift Claims


Toni Braxton

Bankrupt singer, Toni Braxton, who stars in the reality show "Braxton Family Values" tried but failed to dispute claims she is a spendthrift, in a recent interview with Black Enterprise magazine. Ironically, she contradicted herself, while trying to prove to the public she does not overspend.

Braxton stated to the decades old publication, "People were reporting things like I bought Gucci flatware. Yes, I treated myself, and it was only $500. If I bought 1000 count sheets, they were from TJ Maxx for about $49, so I wasn’t living extravagantly."

However, she contradicted herself that same week, via a separate interview she gave HDNet, where Braxton stated, "I live well. But instead of having three houses like I had, it’s just not like that anymore." That's overspending, as no one needs three homes. That's a luxury, not a necessity.

Once again, one moment she states she shops at bargain store TJ Maxx, but in the next breath she reveals she had three homes. Her bankruptcy filing further reveals, she ran up massive debts at the Four Seasons, Neiman Marcus and Tiffanys, three high end luxury establishments.

Years ago, former Laface labelmate, Usher (Raymond), threw Braxton under the bus in an interview, where he stated of her, if you make one hundred dollars you don’t spend ninety-nine. He too indicated the root of her financial problems were due to overspending.

Hey, it’s Braxton’s money. She can spend it how she chooses. No one is trying to tell her how to conduct her financial affairs. But when one is a big spender, then files for bankruptcy twice, one cannot expect to be exempt from public criticism.

FBI Releases Tupac File Showing Death Threats And Extortion

Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight - the latter is mentioned in a redacted file, regarding the shooting death of an LAPD officer, who was having sex with his wife Sharitha

The FBI has released portions of its file on the late rapper and Black Panther, Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in a 1996 drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Shakur was the passenger of former Death Row Records muscle CEO, Suge Knight.

The heavily redacted FBI files reveal Shakur and the late rapper Easy E, were allegedly being threatened and faced extortion attempts by the Jewish Defense League. The FBI was unable to prove the claims.

Easy E came into contact with the Jewish Defense League, via his business partner at Ruthless Records, Terry Heller. He contacted them for assistance with Suge Knight, who stole his artist Dr. Dre by force, using fellow gang members armed with bats, pipes and chains.

For years, many have named Knight as the culprit behind Shakur's killing and that of his friend turned rival, the Notorious B.I.G. Knight was a passenger in the car on the night of Shakur's slaying, even claiming he was shot in the head and bullet fragments remain lodged in his skull, medical reports dispute that claim.

The Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) and Badboy CEO Sean Combs (P. Diddy) faced constant threats from Suge Knight. Wallace was murdered shortly after in 1997 by a known associate of Knight.

Shakur was the only victim in the car, took several bullets to his head and body, while Knight walked away from the incident in perfect health. Knight owed Shakur $20,000,000 in royalty payments he kept refusing to pay and the rapper was getting ready to leave his label.

Knight had become rich in the entertainment industry, from strong-arm tactics and financial theft, even bragging on MTV News that Death Row Records had become a billion dollar company. Shortly after, the IRS moved in on him for tax evasion and the police arrested him in a separate indictment for probation violation. Knight also lost everything in a few short years, including his homes.
