So they kicked them while they were down just to show how easy it is to kick them. That sounds like a fucking poor excuse. Can't people just let them recover instead of fucking with them?
Sony Website Hacked By the "Lulz Boat"
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
I just wanted to say, I haven't seen any posts or articles about it, but the free invasion of privacy security bullshit that Sony was offering, I just wanted to point out that it is total bullshit.
It was okay until it asked for my email password. It wanted me to submit my email password (in addition to my private address and phone number, etc. which is okay because I figure the hackers already have that).
Maybe the whole thing was a phishing attempt I don't know, becuase phishing is getting a lot better lately, but it looked pretty legit. It fucking asked me for my email password. I so don't fucking think so, not with Sony's record of security.

I would rather have an unbiased source then a company hired by Sony.Kopikatsu said:
But that will probably never happen.
May I ask if you got any sources that would show that the hackers didnt use SQL injection?
Cause if you are arguin that Im wrong when you do not know the truth, kinda makes you wrong aswell cause you cannot know if Im right or wrong.
Meh I do not trust illegal corporations so buhu I guess?Clipclop said:
And Yes pretty much all basic security would have stopped an SQL injection and if they did pass thru then I would argue that having everything important encrypted would have saved a lot of headache and money.
You're saying online criminals like people who commit crimes online are all terrible people, ever downloaded a song illegally before? Watched copyrighted movies online without consent by the companies themselves? If so I guess all my friends are criminals and 90% of the internet.Clipclop said:

I'm saying that nobody knows anything.
It's actually possible to prove or disprove LulzSec's assertion. Go to Sony Pictures and try an SQL injection. If it works, then LulzSec is right and Sony's security is shit. If it doesn't work, then LulzSec is trying to make Sony look far worse than it deserves.
Just because a company hires a firm doesn't mean that the firm is going to be biased for the company. If it comes out that they lied in order to make their customer look better, there would be a formal investigation and they'd lose all credibility. Firms are all about credibility. No credibility means that noone would hire you, aaaaand you'd go bankrupt. Which is why I said that I'd wait for a security firm's report and not Sony's.
Aaaaaand you're assuming that LulzSec is telling the truth without testing if a SQL injection would actually work...which you could actually do.Tubez said:
Have a source to back that statistic up?Doxcology said:
No kidding. Come on lulzsec/lulzboat/lulzdouche you're going about this all wrong. If you're looking to us to finance you you're looking in the wrong place.Marudas said:

Take your pick.
With way things are going, if they keep this up for the whole year, I predict that by the start of next year Sony will be dead or in the final stages of company failure.
Who can could possibly stick by a company that has had plenty of time to counteract against the problem and defend itself, but they clearly aren't taking this thing seriously.
At the pace that Sony is trying to work out these problems, one would think that they have just one man trying to fix the whole thing, though my money is on that they hired a poo-flinging monkey.

They hired at least three different security firms. Anything security-wise that goes wrong from here on out, I would blame on one or more of the firms.Sonic Doctor said:
I've posted before that english is in fact not my first language, I will not try to do an sql injection considering that is illegal and its late and I would have to read up on how to do it first.Kopikatsu said:
Second part works great on papers but not in real life. I very much doubt that all security firms are honest. Cause you could argue the same thing about political figures & judges. Their credibility is all that should matter and yet a lot of them still takes bribes.
I'm not trying to be accurate about my statistic just trying to say that a large portion of the internet does download music illegally and unknowingly commits crimes online because the laws are so murky regarding sharing content online. Thus saying that internet criminals are all untrustworthy is like saying everyone who downloaded the new Lady Gaga single on PirateBay is a criminal...Kopikatsu said:
