Philips hacked, Loads of data leaked by Anonymous

Electronics company Philips was hacked again by Anonymous, with almost 200,000 data leaked on the Internet. The dump was posted under the #Antisec #LulzSecReborn hashtag on one of the hacking groups’ websites. 

This is the third time this year when the electronics giant is breached, and user data is stolen. The leaked files have been uploaded to various file hosting sites and contain a compressed file with raw sql database outputs. Some of the files only contain minor information such as subscriber names and ids but few files have administration and user accounts with encrypted passwords.

All together there is well over 200,000 emails with at least 1000 of them have further vital credentails that could allow others to use the users personal information.

At the time, Philips shut down one of its servers, and said it started to investigate the breach with the Police.

Suspected LulzSec hacker arrested in Sony Pictures breach

A second suspected member of the clandestine hacking group LulzSec was arrested on Tuesday on charges he took part in an extensive computer breach of Sony Pictures Entertainment, the FBI said. Raynaldo Rivera, 20, of Tempe, Arizona, surrendered to U.S. authorities in Phoenix six days after a federal grand jury in Los Angeles returned an indictment charging him with conspiracy and unauthorized impairment of a protected computer. If convicted, Rivera faces up to 15 years in prison. The indictment, unsealed on Tuesday, accuses Rivera and co-conspirators of stealing information from Sony Corp's Sony Pictures' computer systems in May and June 2011 using an "SQL injection" attack against the studio's website, a technique commonly employed by hackers. The indictment said Rivera then helped to post the confidential information onto LulzSec's website and announced the intrusion via the hacking group's Twitter account. While Rivera was the only person named in the indictment, the FBI said his co-conspirators included Cody Kretsinger, 24, a confessed LulzSec member who pleaded guilty in April to federal charges stemming from his role in the Sony attack.
