Before this Sony has assured many times that it will secure its network but now limit has been crossed. It is the third time of security lapse and data of about one million people customers get exposed. It has been reported that the hacker group named as LulzSec, hacked the online server of Sony, this group also claims for hacking the networks of PBS television and Fox.com. The LulzSec group has published details of all the customers who have participated in contest organized by Sony. Sony Inc said that the hackers could have also stealth the credit cards details. Hacker group claimed that Sony was trying to assure the U.S officials regarding the security of their network but just one single attack has again proved the lack of security. The issue of Cyber security is increasing day by day, U.S officials are taking all these attacks seriously and law makers are in action. Certain plans are under construction that will reduce the cyber attacks, the recent activity of Gmail hacking has really disturbed U.S and investigation is going on.
Sony really has to get this under control. I mean that attack was fricken' big... they might want to consider moving to a payment system that doesn't have Sony hold credit card data. I mean it's obvious they aren't very good at hanging onto private data like that. Maybe they should have to use PayPal and keep the security in PayPal's hands. This is seriously ridiculous!
