The list of hacked Sony properties continues to grow as Sony Music Brazil finds its website the latest victim in a long line of breaches. The company’s website was the target of a cyberattack on Saturday night and nearly 36 hours later, the site is still offline. Initially, the hackers defaced the site with a single page titled “Hacked The UnderTaker,” which apparently contained nicknames of several people responsible for the attack. More than 12 hours later, the website was finally taken offline. Sony Music Brazil has not commented on the breach and it is unclear if any private data was exposed.

    It would be cheaper if Sony just hired anyone that hacked them.

      So you didn’t know it was locked before you purchased it and you thought it was something other than a PS3, yet Sony deserves this?

      Lets make no bones here, people are hacking to get free games. Stealing is stealing, if its going into a store and taking a game or hacking your PS3 and downloading an image its still stealing. I hate how people think IP such as software and music should be free because it can be.

        Let’s not be idiots here… There are plenty of legit reasons to hack a ps3 that don’t involve free games. Maybe I wanted to run otherOS, and that was one of their selling points. Now I can’t. Maybe it should be mi right to do as I wish with products I buy. can GM sure you for installing an unsupported stereo in your car, then telling others how to do it? of course not, because once you own it, it’s yours to do as you wish with the damned thing. Just like an ipod.

    Wouldn’t be ironic if they used a Sony Vaio to hack the SOny site?!

  • Hoon

    So I guess we can all safely assume that Sony used “password” as their password for everything?

    Damn Sony. Get it together.  Clearly Sony is taking a reactive instead of a proactive approach to security.  When the first two Sony assets were hit, they should have immediately took their entire web presence offline, audited security, upgraded security then brought everything back online.  Instead they’re waiting for the hackers to hit an asset, then they take it offline to repair it one by one.  Now they’re looking like a bunch of incompetent idiots because the hackers are going down the line, one by one as is Sony in their securing of their web presence.  Sony’s Global CTO or CSO needs to to be fired.  That’s if they even have one.
