Sony Hacked Again...And Again


Sony CEO Howard Stringer is not looking too bright right about now

Sony has been battered by hackers over the past two months and the company's defenses are still proving inadequate, as they were attacked again today. The hacks have largely centered on Sony's gaming company, PSN, but now hackers are turning their attention to the music branch of the company. Yup, that's right, Sony Music. They want to hack everything, including Beyonce's weave.

A threat tweet was left for Sony on the social networking website, Twtter, as hackers facetiously alerted them to the fact, they are pillaging their computer systems once again and making off with more customers' data.

Thus far, Sony and the FBI have been unable to catch the people behind the very damaging hacks, which swiped the personal and financial data of 110,000,000 Sony customers. Um, maybe it's just me, but I think the hackers are trying to break them.

It's time Sony's crazy CEO, Howard Stringer, steps down. His insane breed of leadership and obsession with theft, fraud and harassment, in concert with other known executives, has deposited Sony into a number of terrible situations that caused them permanent damage.

Sony CEO Insultingly Refers To Massive Hack As A "Hiccup" While PlayStation Site Goes Down Again

Howard Stringer

The CEO of Sony, Howard Stringer, insanely referred to the massive hack that stole the financial and personal data of 100,000,000 of their customers as a "hiccup" while the newly relauched PlayStation site goes down and off the internet again. Anonymous is playing with him, due to the arrogant statements he keeps making. Stringer once again confirmed what I and others have stated - Sony is crazy.

Sony hacked for the third time

It is not some small thing that the financial data of 100,000,000 people were criminally swiped with a portion of it offered for sale on underground hacker websites. Then there's the distress factor, regarding millions of customers panicking and calling banks in a flurry over their stolen data. Banks were then unduly burdened with the issue that lax security at Sony crated. I've stated it before and I shall again, Sony headquarters is living on another planet.

Sony's Stringer Talks PlayStation Security, Anonymous

May 17, 2011 03:51pm EST - Sony chief Sir Howard Stringer on Tuesday described the disastrous PlayStation Network outage as a "hiccup," and said that no network is 100 percent secure.

In a series of interviews with Bloomberg, the Financial Times, and the Wall Street Journal, Stringer said the company is no closer to finding the culprit. Sony is now focused on the security challenges ahead; namely, staying one step ahead of cyber criminals. "Nobody's system is 100 percent secure," Stringer told Bloomberg. "This is a hiccup in the road to a network future."

PlayStation Network down again

May 18, 2011: 3:19 PM ET - Part of the PlayStation Network was down once again Tuesday, presenting Web users with this error message. Yet another wrinkle developed in the seemingly unending PlayStation Network saga on Wednesday, as Sony took down part of its network again due to a newfound exploit.

The security hole, which was first discovered by gaming blog Nyleveia and successfully exploited by Eurogamer, allows an attacker to reset a user's password and gain access to his or her account with an e-mail address and a birthday associated with the user's profile.

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.

Howard Stringer

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."

Sony Badly Hit By $24 Billion Dollar Hack


Sony PlayStation

Sony, who are some of the worst thieves in entertainment, have been hit by a massive data breach, via an unprecedented hack, allegedly executed by the hacker collective, Anonymous against the embattled company. They have been targeting the company over suing hacker George Holtz, who modified Sony PlayStation software.

Experts estimate the security breach will cost Sony $24 billion dollars. The personal and financial data of 77 million PSN (Play Station Network) users was swiped and there is already evidence the information is being illegally used. PlayStation customers are furious with Sony, feeling betrayed by their negligence in the matter and attempted cover-up, which cost consumers valuable time.

Customers harmed by the incident are threatening a widespread boycott of Sony, who have called the FBI for assistance regarding the hack. This is ironic, as Anonymous is far more computer savvy than the FBI, who just got their first email addresses a few years ago. That's not saying they can't catch them, but Anonymous has greater knowledge of computers than the FBI.

U.S. Senator, Richard Blumenthal, denounced Sony's negligence, demanding they pay for credit monitoring for all 77 million customers affected by the security breach, as credit card numbers were taken in the electronic haul. Credit card companies shall be hit with $300 million in costs, via trying to repair the damage created by Sony's security problems in this monster hack. Something tells me they're not going to want to absorb those costs.
