The Lulz crew say their mammoth dump includes :
Personal information , including word , e-mail destination , family addresses , dates of birth , and all Sony opt - in information associate with their accounts . Among other things , we also compromised all admin details of Sony Pictures ( include passwords ) along with 75,000 “ medicine computer code ” and 3.5 million “ music coupon ” .

Our goal here is not to come across as maestro hackers , hence what we ’re about to reveal : SonyPictures.com was owned by a very simple SQL shot , one of the most rude and common vulnerabilities , as we should all know by now . From a unmarried shot , we accessed EVERYTHING . Why do you put such faith in a company that allows itself to become subject to these simple plan of attack ?
As much as this is a shit move on their part , they have a in effect point . All of this exceedingly sensitive user data was stored in patent text , with zero encryption whatsoever . Sony is understandably beyond the palest pale of ineptness when it come to preserve their theater in ordination . Their host room have had a screen door on them for the past calendar month .
