If you’re a gamer and you’ve been around for a while, you probably remember the major Sony hack in 2011<\/a>. It was a massive security breach of the PlayStation Network that compromised the data of 77 million accounts<\/strong> (including the person writing these lines) and left PlayStation 3 players completely offline for several weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The incident was of such magnitude that Sony ended up giving games to the affected users<\/a><\/strong> (which allowed me to try the wonderful inFamous), and even had to testify before the United States Congress<\/strong>. A massive hacking case that, given its severity, would be difficult to replicate today after the security measures adopted by the company\u2026 wouldn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, if there’s one thing that history likes to do, it’s repeating itself over and over again, dear gamers. According to the cybersecurity portal Cyber Security Connect<\/a><\/strong>, the parent company of PlayStation has reportedly suffered a significant ransomware attack <\/strong>that compromised a total of 6000 confidential files<\/strong> at Sony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hacking group responsible for this cyberattack is called Ransomed.vc<\/strong>, and they claim to have accessed Sony’s systems and obtained all sorts of files, including an internal PowerPoint presentation detailing the operation of their test bank<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have managed to compromise all of Sony’s systems,” says Ransomed.vc. “We won’t ask for a ransom! We will sell the data. Because Sony doesn’t want to pay. THE DATA IS FOR SALE. WE ARE SELLING IT<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n

According to the information published, the group has not yet indicated the price for these 6000 files<\/strong> (most of them in Japanese). However, they have provided contact information for Sony to supposedly pay for them (even though they theoretically “aren’t asking for a ransom”). The deadline set by the group is this Thursday, September 28<\/strong>, on which they could potentially release all the stolen content from Sony on the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
