In a matter on Thursday, Lulz Security mentioned it had hacked in to a database that enclosed unencrypted passwords together with names, addresses and dates of bieing born of Sony customers.
"From a singular injection, you accessed EVERYTHING," it said. "Why do you put such conviction in a firm that allows itself to turn open to these elementary attacks?"
"What's worse is that every bit of information you took wasn't encrypted. Sony stored over 1,000,000 passwords of its customers in solid text, that means it's only a matter of receiving it.
"This is infamous and insecure: they were asking for it."
