PSN & SONY hack - Recent Hacking Case

In April 2011, Hacker stole 77 million PSN customers personal information--including names, addresses, billing history.The  some days later another massive breach at Sony was 100 million user's personal info hacked in Japan . Just yesterday Sony PlayStation Network hacked again, user passwords compromised. The Hacker News investigate about this Biggest Hacking case of Year and Finally we Release our 1st Report on Sony's 3rd Attack Issue on 8th May 2011. In our Report we prove that How hackers get the list Customers info just using simple Google Searches.

Further a Hacking Group named "
PH4N70M Hacking Team" Claiming to Hack the PSN Network. We (THN) try to talk with these hackers and try to collect some info about this Breach. The Statement by Founder of PH4N70M Hacking Team -- "The PSN was comprised of multiple forwarding servers. When my team went in, we found an authorization server (Codenamed auth.sony). This server had no encryption, no DDoS protection was in place. No load balancing. This is how the PSN network was taken down. I thought I’d pass that along to you due to the confusion people are having. This gateway was not load balanced and not secured operating through the default port 80. This server, during early operations back in February (when the operation was initiated in a vote in Operation Payback) was also thought to control login to sonys stores and shop networks. (Marketplace) I cannot confirm this. The original planned attack was going to be a LOIC + Slowloris attack. I also heard before I left of a bufferoverflow attack.The key players in PH4N70M (Phantom) include an exploiter (TH0R), Xik, and several others including the operation payback collaborator named Wolfy. The rest of the team will remain hidden for now.The credit card concerns were all because the data was never encrypted when sent"
