Anonymous Claims To Have Hacked Sony PSN Again

Posted by samzenpus on from the we're-back dept.

hypnosec writes "Anonymous has claimed a new attack on Sony's PlayStation Network, and this time around it seems they have information from nearly 10 million user accounts. As a proof of the hack they dumped more than 3000 credentials online in the form of a pastebin post. The notorious hacktivist group is claiming that the entire set of hacked credentials contains over 10 million PSN accounts and that the file is of around 50GB." Update: 08/16 13:12 GMT by S : Sony has denied this claim.

    The last time that this happened Sony gave me two free games. Now that it appears to have happened again my initial thoughts are regarding more free games. Somehow I don't think that this response is intentional on Sony's part.

    I can't imagine this is true.. Sony has always been on the cutting-edge of security tech. I mean this is the company that designed the text-based CAPTCHA:
