Sony Losing Cyber War To Hackers Who Are Battering Them In Several Countries

Howard Stringer
Sony is under attack on several fronts, by a group of unnamed hackers that continue to pummel the company over the internet, with blow after blow. Sony's music, video game and mobile phone websites in America, Canada, Japan, Greece, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia, have been seriously hacked, with millions of consumers' personal and financial data stolen.
Houses of legislature in America and Taiwan are angry, demanding answers from Sony, who've gone silent again. The public was not amused when it was revealed Sony's internet defenses failed, due to software firewalls that were not being updated in a timely fashion, to address emerging exploits.
The company is facing $24 billion in losses from the hacks alone, in damage that keeps mounting. It's stock and profits are way down, as the hacks and earthquake, then tsunami that damaged its Japanese headquarters, wreaked havoc on sales and productivity. Based on mainstream articles, more hacks are planned against the beleaguered company, who do not seem to grasp the gravity of what has transpired nor what they are facing.
Sony is losing consumers in droves, who no longer feel they can safely shop for music or phones or pay to play video games on the company's websites. As such, Sony products have become tainted. I cannot recall a single corporation that was battered this badly by hackers.

10 Million Sony PSN Credit Card Info Stolen, 2.2 Million Offered For Sale

The unprecedented Sony hack that will reportedly cost the company $24 billion dollars, has taken a new twist. It is being reported 10,000,000 unencrypted credit card numbers have been stolen from the Sony servers in San Diego, California and 2,200,000 of them have been offered for sale by hackers.



Howard Stringer

As someone who has been the victim of identity theft in an unrelated incident, I feel sorry for the people whose financial data has been compromised. In response to cries from PSN users for a Sony boycott, company executives apologized yesterday. However, based on online feedback, I don’t think it will help, as PSN users are defecting to Microsoft.

Sony Badly Hit By $24 Billion Dollar Hack

Sony PlayStation
Sony, who are some of the worst thieves in entertainment, have been hit by a massive data breach, via an unprecedented hack, allegedly executed by the hacker collective, Anonymous against the embattled company. They have been targeting the company over suing hacker George Holtz, who modified Sony PlayStation software.
Experts estimate the security breach will cost Sony $24 billion dollars. The personal and financial data of 77 million PSN (Play Station Network) users was swiped and there is already evidence the information is being illegally used. PlayStation customers are furious with Sony, feeling betrayed by their negligence in the matter and attempted cover-up, which cost consumers valuable time.

Sony CEO Howard "Satan" Stringer
Customers harmed by the incident are threatening a widespread boycott of Sony, who have called the FBI for assistance regarding the hack. This is ironic, as Anonymous is far more computer savvy than the FBI, who just got their first email addresses a few years ago. That's not saying they can't catch them, but Anonymous has greater knowledge of computers than the FBI.
U.S. Senator, Richard Blumenthal, denounced Sony's negligence, demanding they pay for credit monitoring for all 77 million customers affected by the security breach, as credit card numbers were taken in the electronic haul. Credit card companies shall be hit with $300 million in costs, via trying to repair the damage created by Sony's security problems in this monster hack. Something tells me they're not going to want to absorb those costs.

Cruel Credit Card Company Practices

The selling and reselling of debt in America has become a very profitable industry for credit card companies and banks, but a burdensome load on Americans. During the current harsh economic climate, many Americans have lost their jobs and defaulted on credit card payments. If one has no job, how can one pay one's bills.
One of my friends lost her job and defaulted on one of her credit cards and by the time they sold and resold the debt, it was ugly. She was forced to make arrangements with the third party financial institution the credit card company sold the original debt to, making $100 monthly payments.
However, what was a $5,500 balance, became a $16,500 nightmare, after they added countless fees and massive interest rates to the original sum she owes, which they purchased from the credit card company. She gave me the documents to peruse and it was quite appalling.

In looking at the papers, I shook my head, as this same story is repeating itself all over America and bogging down Americans with terrible debt, far above anything they originally owed, which is unconscionable. The Judiciary Report realizes companies are in business to make money, but there should be limits on what they can charge consumers.
The government should enact legislation to bar companies from adding such exorbitant fees, as it is keeping many Americans in serious debt and hampering their futures. Companies should not be able to gouge citizens to such terrible extremes, as it is corporate extortion, not conducive to a healthy economy.

Lindsay Lohan In More Legal Trouble

Crack Really Is Whack



Lindsay Lohan

Drug addict and former child star, Lindsay Lohan, has missed a second deposition in a civil lawsuit, where she is accused of commandeering a vehicle while drunk and high, running over a man's foot, whilst taking three men on a psychotic car chase through Los Angeles, insanely pursuing a former personal assistant who fled in fear for her life.

Lohan, a schizophrenic member of the Kabbalah cult, has gone from bad to worse once again, opting to go out shopping, partying and getting high, blowing off the depositions. This has prompted the Plaintiffs' attorney to see sanctions against her and a court order forcing her to appear, lest she be jailed for contempt. 

Lohan is broke, due to a string of poor choices and cannot afford to pay a settlement or judgment in line with her terrible misconduct that night. However, if she is not careful, the Plaintiffs' attorney made obtain a default judgment and garnish her wages. What am I saying. What wages. However, she has jewelry, clothing and shoes of value that may not be safe from creditors (several hundred thousand worth).

Considering credit card companies are demanding their money, which could result in a lawsuit, additional claims and judgments shall put her in the poor house.

In other dysfunctional lesbian news, Lohan claims her ex-girlfriend is now messing with a man, pop star Miley Cyrus' ex-boyfriend and spit in her face. Well, as long as you don't pay attention to the important things in your own life, like sobriety and employment, then.


LiLo Is a No-Show Again in Court

April 21st, 2010 5:09 pm - Maybe Lindsay Lohan should worry less about Twitter battles and late night partying and concentrate on making her court dates. The actress/singer/socialite did not show up in court yesterday, marking the second deposition she has missed regarding her 2007 DUI.

According to TMZ, three passengers in Lindsay’s car — as well as the passenger in the car she was chasing — are suing her, claiming she endangered their lives in a drunken chase down the Pacific Coast Highway.

ID Theft Ring Buys Their Own iTunes Music

An ID theft ring was arrested by the FBI for using stolen credit cards to purchase their own music recordings they uploaded to iTunes and Amazon. And? Quite a few Hollywood stars do this as well, sans the stolen credit cards, to inflate their sales. However, it does constitute fraud and chart rigging.

The ID theft ring collected $300,000 in this manner, in royalty checks from duped iTunes, who collaborated with the Feds on this case.

Criminal gang bought own music on iTunes and Amazon using stolen cards

June 11, 2009 - Amazon and iTunes, who were unaware of the fraud, paid royalties totalling $300,000. The Metropolitan Police and the FBI have caught an international criminal gang said to have made tens of thousands of pounds by buying their own records from Apple iTunes and Amazon with stolen credit cards.

The gang are alleged to have created several songs that they provided to an online American company, which uploaded them to be sold on the two internet sites.

It is believed that over four months from September last year the gang used 1,500 stolen or cloned British and American credit cards to buy songs worth $750,000 (£469,000).

Amazon and iTunes, which were unaware of the fraud, paid $300,000 in royalties. Six men and three women were arrested yesterday by 60 officers at addresses in London, Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Kent. A man in his forties, was arrested later.

They are all being held in custody on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering.

A police source said: “We will not know why they did what they did until we have conducted all the interviews.” It is believed that one of the gang is a DJ and that he created the songs that were then bought...

Apple refused to comment on the story but it is believed that there is no standard fee for royalties and each deal is negotiated separately. The gang is said to have made 40 per cent from the royalties.
