Sony Ericsson's Canadian site hacked,more than 2,000 customers' data taken

The hackers just won't give poor Sony a break, will they? Following the infamous PSN breach last month and an attack on the company's Greek online music service earlier this week, Sony Ericsson has now seen another intrusion that extracted personal data of more than 2,000 Canadian Eshop customers. Fortunately, the company claims that passwords taken were encrypted and no credit card details were lost, but this is still worrisome nevertheless. Right now, the Eshop service has been taken off line -- for the sake of Sir Howard and his Japanese chums, let's just hope that this will be the last Sony breach we hear about.

People earlier said that it is Sony which was hacked and SE users should not worry..what about this now

I just hope this doesn't affect the gingerbread update coming out. Yeah, I read a similar article on www.cnet.com.

Hmm ... and nothing will hacking soon .

Sony != SE

WTH's wrong with these hackers... It's not just Sony being hacked..

I honestly think they are just trying to put sony out of business by making everyone think they aren't trustworthy. I know I'm not giving my credit card to sony right now

I agree there are loads of sites getting hacked.
Fox, Eidos, Sony, Sony Erricson, Skype, Facebook.
All were mined for personal info.
It's really scary.

Not everyone lives online, alot of normal people just drop the odd tweet or message.
Should they be punished?
I spend alot of time online cuz i live miles away from cities and there's very few people here to talk to.
Why should people feel threatened online.
Maybe Santa "Satan" is making a list and checking it twice?

I suppose there is a little bit of an upside to this. This all started with Sony suing GeoHot. Hopefully they'll learn their lesson and stop ****ing with developers and maybe they'll start being more open with devices (PS3). There's the chance this could spill over to SE and we might finally see more unlocked bootloaders etc.

I doubt this is activity from "Legion"
I think "Legion" may have had something to do with Sony getting hacked.
But to some of these other sites, why hack them withoutr explaining the cause?

Love My Epic D700 but, Dan Hesse Letter! (Idea's, Rants and or General Suggestions!)

I remeber back in my crackberry mod days,
We made ways for sprint to push updates and take us seriously about our phones by writing letters to Sprint's CEO! We were the new jacks from Nextel so we had a force like non-other... You bring a city hood chirp to the smartphone world and ain't making us happy?
Well... that's another thread!
This thread is about email bombing, sprint CEO dan hesse! Let's gather some ideas for those who like to write and let their presence be known as an idividual and unique type of smartphone users! We got " Galaxy S, Gen1 " devices with keyboards! What's up with either a new Similar product, with a Keyboard? Idc where the factory is that makes it but, give me an upgrade! Let there be a phone like this but better on a different network, y'all gonna lose my 1000 dollars a year! I'll give them 1500 dollars next 2 yrs for a bigger screen with keyboard!
Ok I need that rewritten!
But added to with different ideas and prespectives! I want to hit the frequency that taps Dan Hesse's creative nerves! Help us Help Us!

Emails are easy to block and ignore... the primary reason physical letters are effective in large enough numbers, is because the post office is obligated to deliver every single letter - and thousands of physical envelopes stuffed with letters will take up a -lot- of space in the office... emails, not so much...

Google fights SOPA

As many of you may know XDA went on a blackout from 8AM to 3PM today in protest against the pending legislation SOPA. But XDA is not alone. Today hundreds of websites all across the internet are also taking action. But I must say, I love the way Google is promoting awareness of SOPA. Take a look for your self:

haha, I know this is a serious deal and all... but There is NO way in HELL that SOPA or PIPA will be approved without CHANGES.
I'm not against SOPA nor PIPA, just how they generalize EVERYTHING.
The Generalization means that big companies, for example, Sony , if they wanted could pretty much shut down YouTube because someone had one of their copyrighted music on there.
Do you realize how bad that sounds? If this does get passed, well... all hell will break loose.
Internet is the ultimate boss in the 21st century, people need to get out of their 1940's and look on their computer and look at stats. 2,095,006,005 people use the internet worldwide DAILY, 272,066,000 Just in North America.
The growth is just AMAZING on the internet, no one is going to stop that. NO ONE has rights against innovation and freedom.
Good luck to you, SOPA/PIPA.

Thats just screwed up, I understand all the piracy and what not, but what does Generic Drugs have to do with this anti piracy!??!?!?

Right! Here is a snippet from the Wikipedia article on SOPA about it...
Protection against counterfeit drugs
Pfizer spokesman John Clark testified that patients could not always detect cleverly forged websites selling drugs that were either mis-branded or simply counterfeit.[18]
RxRights, a consumer advocacy group, issued a statement saying that Clark failed "to acknowledge that there are Canadian and other international pharmacies that do disclose where they are located, require a valid doctor's prescription and sell safe, brand-name medications produced by the same leading manufacturers as prescription medications sold in the U.S."[19] They had earlier said that SOPA "fails to distinguish between counterfeit and genuine pharmacies" and would prevent American patients from ordering their medications from Canadian pharmacies online.[20]

My older brother actually gets his prescription from Canada, because not only is it CHEAPER and i'm not talking like 5 dollars cheap, its beating the price from here by atleast $50, but it also makes the original product that is imported to US and sold for a higher price. I don't know the EXACT name of the product, but its like a eye drop, his eyes get dry easily with contacts.
So if SOPA passes (lololol) then yep, my brothers broke haha

This. Plus the fact it won't do anything against piracy and will serve as a platform for our government to censor anything they don't want released. 194.71.107.15 will work just as well after SOPA as http://thepiratebay.org/ works today. I understand that we need to protect the intellectual property of who it belongs to, but certainly at the expense of the free speech of the citizens, the safety and security of the DNS system, and fair use. If you post a video with Michael Jackson in the background you can get 5 years in prison. That's a year more than the doctor responsible for his death.
"So, that are you in for?"
"Oh, I killed and dismembered a homeless guy, what about you?
"I uploaded a video of my friend dancing to Tik Tok at a party."
This legislation needs to be stopped. Gizmodo has a nice chart of who received money from the entertainment industry, guess who, the SOPA/PIPA supporters. /rant

Besides this is not needed since Homeland Security apparently already HAS the power to block sites from appearing in the U.S. A lot of sites that I used to watcc the NFL on last year now appear with a big SHUTDOWN by HOMELAND SECURITY banner when I clicked them.
