(Reuters) - Sony Corp has been hacked again.

So-Net, the Internet service provider unit of Japan's Sony, alerted customers that an intruder broke into its system and stole virtual points from account holders worth $1,225.

This one doesn't sound quite as significant as the last few.

 

[Brazil]

Boss.

 

[cw_sasuke]

What a nightmare for Sony .... It just won't end.

 

[Buckethead]

 

[Seven Force]

Sounds smaller in scale than the last few attacks.

 

[Metalmurphy]

It's the new trend...

 

[Mael]

Yes! more free games!

 

[Brazil]

What a nightmare for PS3 users .... It just won't end.

Fixed.

Is So-Net related to gaming?

 

[Greg]

As long as I can still play online, they can steal as many e-bucks as they want.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Is So-Net related to gaming?

No.

It's a Japanese ISP ran by a subsidiary of Sony. But headlines must be provocative for more hits and fun threads.

gonna punt this over to OT since this doesn't seem to have to do with Sony Computer Entertainment

[loosus]

lol Oh, Sony...time to take my credit card out of that fucking system.

 

[chubigans]

Sony has a big ol' bullseye right on themselves. I predict ten more worthless hacks by the end of next month.

 

[Loudninja]

Ah is anyone reading the OP? Its has nothing to do with gaming at all.

 

[krypt0nian]

Um yeah. It's an ISP.

 

[entremet]

lol Oh, Sony...time to take my credit card out of that fucking system.

You haven't done so already?

 

[Horns]

I feel terrible for Sony. Nothing has been going there way in 2011 in the PR department.

 

[Duffyside]

How are you going to play Uncharted 3 with your console under all that dirt?

 

[Leckan]

But seriously this is absurd and embarrassing.

When will this nonsense end?

 

[daffy]

These threads are so homogeneous, there really isn't much being said here

But since trolling is out of the question.. I suppose I'll join in!

"At this point in our investigations, we have not confirmed any data leakage. We have not found any sign of a possibility that a third party has obtained members' names, address, birth dates and phone numbers."

Ruh roh, we remember this tripe, amirite guys!!?

edit: OH, it is an ISP, false alarm..

 

[expy]

rofl... it's an ISP.

 

[krypt0nian]

rofl... it's an ISP.

Exactly. So many dumb people post without reading.

 

[KernelPanic]

Better safe than Sony indeed

 

[Messypandas]

[Shogmaster]

Who the hell did they piss off?!? Holy moly...
