New PSN lawsuit claims Sony layoffs to blame for hacks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3
A second lawsuit over PSN hacks this week has accused Sony of cutting jobs whose absence may have worsened or contributed to the hack. A "substantial percentage" of Sony Online Entertainment, including some in the network operations center, were let go just two weeks before the April 19 incident that hit both SOE and PSN. Sony lowered its safeguards through job cuts just as the attacks came in, the lawsuit alleged.
An anonymous witness who worked for SCEA between 2006 and 2008, as well as SOE for almost half of 2010, claimed that Sony had a disproportionate stance on security. It took great care to protect the DevNetwork for companies building PlayStation games but didn't show nearly as much...

Hackers Target Sony Pictures France
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony
With all the hacking of government Web sites and smaller gaming companies, it seemed like people had almost forgotten about Sony. Not so fast. Two hackers on Sunday said they had successfully targeted the Web site for Sony Pictures in France.
A Lebanese hacker known as Idahc and a French hacker known as Auth3ntiq took responsibility for the attack via a note on Pastebin.
"We found a sql injection on sonypictures.fr," Idahc wrote. "But we will not publish all the database and we didn't upload a shell (because the load_file wasn't disable)."
The duo listed a few of the emails that were in the database, many of which were Yahoo or Hotmail addresses. Sonypictures.fr is currently offline; the com...
