Sony Ericsson's Canadian site has been hacked


Remember when we talked about the latest attack on the Sony Website? More specifically the company's music division, Sony BMG Greece, which had been hacked and data stolen of 8000 clients? So. It was not the last. As predicted by security firm Sophos, another attack took place against another company's website. This time, the wholesale arm was responsible for mobile devices, Sony Ericsson.


The company confirmed yesterday that an attack on the Canadian site of Sony Ericsson managed to steal data from more than 2000 registered clients. A group of hackers called Lebanese Idahca claimed responsibility and say they have names, addresses and e-mail, which were published on Facebook and Twitter. The Sony ensures that the passwords were encrypted information and credit card is not stolen.

It seems that Sony has not yet been able to get rid of the target on his back and will continue to have their servers hacked while there are no loopholes to be exploited. And while there are hackers willing to find them too.
