Sony getting spitted again, this time it’s Sony Music Japan and Sony Ericsson Canada

Last Friday, it’s Sony BMG Greece that got more than 8,000 of their user information stolen. This time, the hackers are at it again, as Sony Music Japan and Sony Ericsson Canada is also breached.

A team calling itself LulzSec released a database of Sony Japan Music’s via a pastebin link posted to the team’s Twitter account. According to Sophos, this group of attackers also used a SQL injection similar to the method used on Sony BMG Greece, but the database information obtained does not contain names, passwords or other personally identifiable information. The hackers say there are two other vulnerable databases but whether or not these contain sensitive user information is unknown.

Well Sony Music Japan isn’t alone at it. Sony Ericsson was also targeted by an intrusion and this time it’s even worse. The personal data of 2,000 Canadian Eshop customers was stolen. The company says passwords were encrypted and no credit card details were stolen. Of course, the Eshop has been taken down temporarily to avoid fraud cases.

Sucks to be Sony right now eh? All they did is go against some punk name GeoHotz and they get all the shit storms. Not cool man…
