2011 is Sony’s year! After shutting down the PlayStation Network for a month, being hacked in Japan this time, Sony has temporarily shuttered yet another website following reports it may have suffered an attack by hackers.
The company’s Brazilian Music site was inaccessible for much of Tuesday as website engineers investigated a possible security breach, according to news reports.
On Friday, a group calling itself LulzSec targeted Sony’s movie division in an attack it claimed exposed more than 1 million consumer email addresses and passwords. It claimed the attack on the Sony Pictures website was achieved by exploiting a simple SQL-injection vulnerability, leading to the trove of unencrypted data.
Looks like Sony’s activities should be fully checked…
