Hackers broke into Sony Corp's computer networks and accessed the information of more than 1 million customers to show the vulnerability of the electronic giant's systems. This is the latest of several security breaches for Sony with first major hack back in April 2011 focusing on the PlayStation Network (PS3) and Qriocity Service.
The group called LulzSec is claiming they broke into the servers that run Sony Pictures Entertainment websites. From the hack it was possible to gain the personal details (including but not limited to, names, date of birth, addresses, emails, passwords, etc) of the people who had entered contests, promotions and quizzes promoted by Sony.
Sony said it was investigating the breach claimed by LulzSec and declined to elaborate.
