Guess this is getting fun for hackers

Sony’s reputation as a computer security pygmy has deepened again, with the latest hack seeing it apparently lose a million user accounts to hackers.
Reportedly, hackers used yet another SQL injection attack to break into the database of SonyPictures.com, making off with the account details of a million users, including names, addresses, email addresses, and passwords, though mercifully not credit card details.

No confirmation is yet forthcoming from Sony, but the perpetrators have helpfully posted all the data obtained online, something unlikely to endear them to Sony customers.

The group claiming responsibility for this hack has also taken things a step further, having been publicly taunting and threatening Sony via Twitter for some time.

I'll be amazed if Sony recovers from this anytime this year. Or next year.

Just, damn.
