If you’ve been a victim of the disaster with Sony’s server hacks it’s unlikely that you’ve felt much joy thus far. However, things are on the up, and Sony has now launched the ‘Welcome Back’ pack; you should also have received an email by now if you’re a PSN user. If you are such a [...]
Just as Sony were getting things back on track, LulzSec (“Laughing at your security since 2011″) have hacked Sony Pictures with a simple SQL injection, and embarrassingly for Sony, found a mere text file filled with email and password combinations. The hackers have posted a portion of the file online for verification – and sure [...]
