Internet, Playstation Network Hacked | featured news

Sony says it has detected a large number of unauthorized attempts to access user accounts on its PlayStation Network and other online entertainment services.

LulzSec has just bid the Internet adieu. And its parting gift seems to be one hell of a mess. After 50 days of manic attacks on targets ranging from Sony to the CIA, the hacker group called it quits Saturday with a typically irreverent statement...

Sony is not having a good year. As the company scrambles to get the PlayStation Network and Qriocity music service back online, it's suffering from yet another security breach.

Sony said on Saturday it had removed off the Internet the personal details of 2,500 people that had been stolen by hackers and posted on a website.

The attack also has crippled Sony's PlayStation Network, which has some 70 million subscribers and has been down since April 20... The hacker could have taken credit card numbers, card expiration dates, billing addresses, answers to security questions and purchase history, but not credit-card security codes...

The company said an “unauthorized person” had obtained personal information about its account-holders, possibly including their credit card numbers.
