Hackers hijack another Sony network and publish data of 1 million users

A group of hackers reported a new successful hijacking of another Sony Corp’s computer networks to show that the electronic company lacks proper security in all its systems. LulzSec hackers broke into U.S. PBS television and Fox.com and accessed the information of more than 1 million customers. It published the names, birth dates, addresses, emails, phone numbers and passwords of thousands of people who had entered contests promoted by Sony.

"From a single injection, we accessed EVERYTHING," the hacking group said in a statement. "Why do you put such faith in a company that allows itself to become open to these simple attacks?"

Sony has been suffering public criticism and attacks since it announced that hackers accessed personal information on 77 million PlayStation Network and Qriocity accounts, 90 percent of which are users in North America or Europe.
