Phishing Site Discovered On Sony Thailand Servers

mcgrew tips news that security firm F-secure has found a live phishing site running on Sony's Thailand servers. "Basically this means that Sony has been hacked, again. Although in this case the server is probably not very important." This comes alongside news that a point service run by So-net, a Sony subsidiary, was accessed by an unknown intruder, who stole about $1,200 worth of virtual tokens. "The intrusions are believed to have taken place on May 16 and 17. So-net discovered the breach on May 18, after receiving consumer complaints. So-net halted the point redemption service following the discovery of the breach. The latest breaches are relatively minor in scale compared to the massive breach at PSN and Sony Entertainment Online. Even so, it only adds to the company's embarrassment."

Sony is a joke. You can 'get them back' by voting with your wallet.

Stop buying Blurays (they suck anyway)
Stop buying PS3s
Stop buying Sony hardware.

Don't give me that shit about being 'a different part of Sony'. It ultimately gets monitored by the same executives who have the higher level strategic power. The strategic oversight at Sony is quite franky, anti-consumer. Even if they don't notice it or feel it, that doesn't matter, you won't get scerewed by Sony and your dollars won't go toward writing rootkits or whatever.
