Sony has reportedly suffered a major cyberattack

[John Elden Ring]

Relative ransomware newcomers have claimed to have succeeded in what could be a devastating ransomware attack on global entertainment giant Sony.

Ransomed.vc has only been operating since September, despite some links to previous forums and groups. However, in that time the group has racked up an impressive amount of victims – and Sony is one of them.

“Sony Group Corporation, formerly Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation, and Sony Corporation, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, Japan

“We have successfully compromissed [sic] all of sony systems. We wont ransom them! we will sell the data. due to sony not wanting to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE “WE ARE SELLING IT”.

Ransomed.vc said on its leak sites, both on the clear and dark nets, taking a description straight from Wikipedia.

The group does include some proof-of-hack data, but it’s not particularly compelling information on the face of things – there appear to be screenshots of an internal log-in page, an internal PowerPoint presentation outlining testbench details, and a number of Java files.

Guess who buys this, if they weren't the ones who ordered it in the first place...

Looks like clickbait

Even if this is real (Which is questionable imo), it's not clear if anything relevant to Playstation was hit.

"Ransomed.vc has also posted a file tree of the entire leak, which appears to have less than 6,000 files – seemingly small for “all of Sony systems”.

Here we go again. The timing is very suspicious.

Not ever putting my CC info on any console continues to pay dividends! All hail the pre-paid store codes!

Destiny has been getting DDOS attacks for over a week. Got extra bad yesterday even as they’re trying to find solutions. Someone def has a hard on for this…

 

[Entropi]

At least Sony didn't upload the info themselves.

Hmm this right after an idiotic Microsoft employee accidentally leaked a bunch of Xbox stuff.... coincidence ? I think not

If Sony doesn’t say anything by tomorrow night I’m going with another media coordinated damage control plan to take bad press off of Microsoft’s leak. In theory if psn or anything was comprised Sony would shut it off by now no?

The simple fact that Sony refused to pay, means it's crap. Probably the Janitor's bowel movement schedule or something.

Seriously, if this was PSN related, Sony would be in panic mode right now. We'd probably know already because I doubt they'd be willing to to repeat the same mistake from back then, where they didn't report on it right away.

It's also possible that it's more guerilla PR by the "good guy".

I read it did take sony 3 days to respond to the hack back in 2011 but psn was down immediately. Not sure if thats true or not though.

I actually think it took longer. They hired a cyber security company right away but didn't say anything until they were sure. After that, they announced the hack. They got a lot of crap for waiting too long back then and I don't think they'll do the same again.

Even if it was something serious, sony wouldn't pay.

No company would believe a hacker wouldn't release the info or wouldn't sell it to someone else on good faith.
