Sony confirms Lulzsec compromised server data
In a joint statement, Sony Pictures Chairman and CEO Michael Lynton and Co-chairman Amy Pascal said the company has contacted the FBI in an attempt to find out who was behind the cyberattack.
Yesterday a group of hackers calling themselves Lulzsec brashly taunted Sony on Twitter saying it would "embarrass" the company by posting data stolen from the company's servers. Several hours later the group posted online 150,000 people's passwords, names, e-mail addresses, addresses, and phone numbers from SonyPictures.com and Sony BMG's Web sites in Belgium and the Netherlands. The group claims there was little complexity involved in overcoming the servers' security.
"The cybercrime wave that has affected Sony companies and a number of government agencies, businesses, and individuals in recent months has hit Sony Pictures as well," the Sony statement reads.
In addition to working with federal authorities, Sony Pictures has also hired its own "experts" to conduct a forensic investigation into the breach, according to Lynton and Pascal.
"We deeply regret and apologize for any inconvenience caused to consumers by this cybercrime," they wrote.

ZBrushYour the idiot, he said they were NOT behind the attacks.AnonOP Told you f*ckers that Anonymous wasn't behind it.
LulzSec isnt Anonymous idot,
Also they used basic SQL injection to get access to the database, Sony's fault for having such poor security.

This probably could have been avoided if Sony did not file a lawsuit against Geohot.

Well well well. When will Sony perk up and listen? When someone clears out their customers bank accounts? Probably not. I don't completely agree with this attack but at least it brings to the public's attention the poor state of security that Sony have over their own customers details. Again.
