Sony Goes Down...Again?

The BBC is reporting that Sony SNE has suffered another hacking attack to one of its major networks. Lulz Security, the aptly named group of disgruntled, anonymous hackers, claim to have stolen another one million passwords, email addresses, and other information. The group claims to have broken in to SonyPictures.com. The group says the database it hacked included unencrypted passwords and names of Sony customers, as well as addresses and dates of birth. The hacking comes on the heels of attacks in April, which brought the Sony PlayStation Network down and exposed the data in some 77 million accounts.
