Hackers leak Sony source code, Nintendo also targeted


Yet another website of Sony Entertainment was hacked and defaced over the weekend, with the hackers leaving behind a supposed anti-war message. The latest victim of a hack attack was the Sony Music Brazil website (www.sonymusic.com.br), which was still down as of 4 a.m. Tuesday (in Manila). A screenshot of the defaced website posted on The Hacker News showed the message, "Hacked The Undertaker." "Return The Legend Ottoman-Empire | Old School Group ... World Wars Protest No war! ... The UnderTaker-AmEn-Swan-Bondbey-DunqueoN," the rest of the message said. The Hacker News also said the site was down for more than 12 hours. "The Sony network and its services got hacked more than a dozen times over a period of two months. Quite alarming it is for everyone, but the company is yet to learn from its mistakes... It’s pretty apparent to everyone that Sony hasn’t plugged holes yet, and has failed to be alert," The Hacker News said. LulzSec posts developer data online Hacker group LulzSec hacked into Sony's servers anew and posted online a 54MB "collection" of Sony Developer source code. "That's hackers 16, Sony 0. Your move!" it said in a press release posted Tuesday (Manila time) on its website. LulzSec also posted online what it called the internal network maps of Sony BMG. LulzSec hacks Nintendo Meanwhile, Nintendo of America, Sony's rival in the video-game business, said some of its Web servers were hacked some weeks back but no data was compromised. A story on Epoch Times said that even though its servers were attacked, they “contained no consumer information." “The protection of our customer information is our utmost priority... We constantly monitor our security," Epoch Times quoted Nintendo of America as saying. LulzSec, the group that claimed responsibility for cyber attacks on the websites of Public Broadcasting Service and Sony Pictures, posted a “server configuration file" to the Web, apparently from a secure server belonging to Nintendo. The group also noted Nintendo fixed the problem. " — TJD, GMA News
