According to "infosecurity", NullCrew, a new hacking group that has been particularly active over the last couple of months, has hacked Sony mobile websites – adding to its rapidly growing list of victims (Cambridge University, Yale University, Cambodia Army, PMT Air and many more). NullCrew cites various reasons for its hacks. Cambridge University and data.gov.uk (a 623MB dump) were both done in the name of OpFreeAssange. The Cambodia Army site and the Cambodian airline PMT Air were hacked in the name of OpTPB (following the recent arrestof one of the original Pirate Bay founders in Cambodia). Other attacks seem to be against big business and banks. Sony was hacked because “we are dearly dissapointed in your security.”
NullCrew claims to have taken control of eight Sony servers in its data dump from just one of them. This particular leak is small and includes just over 400 email addresses and encrypted passwords. If NullCrew's claims are correct, we can expect further dumps in the near future.
