Last week, there was an alleged large scale hack on Sony's PlayStation Network
Crooks published what they claimed were sample usernames and
passwords from PSN and other networks, which they named as Windows Live
and 2K Gaming.
As we observed
at the time, the data had some irregularities about it, and not
just because Windows Live isn't called that any more, and there's is nothing like the so called 2k gaming
That's the problem with hacking claims.
In a world where some crooks can avoid detection as they scoop up genuine credit card numbers for weeks or months, other crooks make hack into little or nothing.
The message is probably the medium or something...
So it's quite hard to know what to make of this week's news about a claimed mega-hack at Sony Pictures Entertainment
A hacking crew going by #GOP, meaning (for Guardians of
Peace), is suggesting it has managed to pop up a fear-and notice
on computers inside Sony pictures entertainment network, and has published considerable amount of stolen data to "prove" the extent of the hack.
Blunt words, big claims, bold threats.
Sony pictures Entertainment understandably, seems to have closed ranks so far.
As a result, most reports,including this one are based on the above image that was posted on self-proclaimed "no-limits" viral image sharing site (Imgur).
The person who posted the screenshot says, simply:
I used to work for Sony Pictures. My friend still works there and sent this to me. All of Sony has been hacked.
The image includes multiple links to a file called SPEData.zip.
