Hackers claimed on Monday to have staged another attack on Japanese electronics giant Sony, publishing online a file containing source code for the Sony Computer Entertainment Developer Network. The claim was made by a group of hackers known as Lulz Security, who said last week they had compromised more than 1 million passwords, e-mail addresses and other information from sonypictures.com. "Presenting Sony Computer Entertainment Developer Network source code," Lulz Security said in a message on its Twitter feed @LulzSec, which provided a link to a 54-megabyte file. The group also posted a link to what it said were internal network maps of music arm Sony BMG. "That's hackers 16, Sony 0. Your move!" the group said in a reference to what it said was the number of cyber-attacks on Sony's online networks in recent weeks. Sony Pictures Entertainment apologized over the weekend for the personal data breach at sonypictures.com, which features movie trailers and e-mail updates on upcoming releases. Sony's PlayStation Network, its Qriocity music streaming service and Sony Online Entertainment are among other services targeted by hackers recently. The company has also suffered attacks on websites in Greece, Thailand and Indonesia and on the Canadian site of mobile phone company Sony Ericsson. According to Sony, more than 100 million accounts have been affected, making it one of the largest data breaches ever. AFP |
