Sony Suffers Another Hack

Sony CEO, Howard Stringer, is not looking too good right now

Hackers made good on their threats to pulverize Sony online again, via a new attack on their music and film companies. Hackers completely raided the sites, downloaded the user data of 1,000,000 customers including the back-end map of the sites and pilfered Sony coupons. The hackers even openly mocked the FBI, who are usually well behind them, stating they are laughing at the law enforcement agency, who publicly claimed they are on their trail.

Sony has finally decided to appear before an irate Congress over the matter. Maybe Congress can ask them why, according to hackers this week, the personal and financial data of its customers, continues to sit on servers unencrypted and with weak security. Sony can afford to encrypt the data and pay for better security, but is inexplicably being cheap with customers data, which is now up for sale on underground hacker websites.
