A new attack against Sony is reportedly being planned by a group of hackers. According to CNET, the third major attack is planned against Sony's Web site this weekend. The hackers say that currenty they have access to some of Sony's servers and that they intend to expose some personal information, such as customer names, credit card numbers, and addresses. Last month, several Sony web sites were taken offline in a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack in request to Sony's unfair (according to members of the hacker group) legal action against hacker George Hotz. After the second attack two weeks ago, Sony had to shut down PSN, Qriocity, and Sony Online and it still works to bring them back online after improvement in the servers' security. Sony say that they don't know who conducts the attacks, but they suspect that a group of hackers, called Anonymous is involved. Read more -here-
