Sony Europe hacked by Lebanese hacker... Again !!!!

[INDRANIL]

Bad time continues for Sony . Again Sony Europe hacked by Lebanese hacker. A Lebanese hacker known as Idahc dumped another user database at Sony Europe containing approximately 120 usernames, passwords (plain text), mobile phone numbers, work emails and website addresses.
Idahc is the same attacker who targeted the Canadian Sony Ericsson site in May, 2011. In his note on pastebin he states: "I was Bored and I play the game of the year : 'hacker vs Sony'." He posted the link to pastebin with the simple note "Sony Hacked: pasxxxx.com/OMxxx lol."

The attacker claims that he used standard SQL injection techniques to acquire the database. I think it is fair to say it appears that Sony has not learned anything from the previous 12 attacks.

This is unlucky hack number 13 for Sony. Hmm when it will stop?? . No body knows .

Source & more .

Thanks Indra! H'mmmm, do you think that old axiom "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" might apply here?

Plain text... learn to encrypt, would you?

Took me five minutes to up my security on my server from MD5 to SHA512. And that was with a tutorial. :/ Not impressed, Sony.
