Oh, Sony. Recovery off the coast of a week which saw Sony disable connections through some of its PlayStation Network properties through a feat of password, F-Secure has identified a site phishing running on one of the servers of Sony.
Today's incident, however, "has nothing to do with the NHP Sony hack," Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure wrote in a blog note.
"We know that you were not supposed to kick someone when they are already down... but we just found a live phishing site running on a Sony servers," Hypponen said. "This essentially means that Sony has been hacked, again." Although in this case the server is probably not very important. ?
Displayed Hypponen screen shots of the home page official Thailand of Sony, and a site of phishing using URL hdworld.sony.co.th (above), which seems to be a company of Italian credit card.
It has notified the problem Sony and later tweeted that "I can confirm that Sony has just minutes their site was cleaned up and removed the hdworld.sony co.th phishing site."
When requested via Twitter if the site is hosted on Sony servers or just a hijack DNS, Hypponen said that it is hosted on servers of Sony.
This last problem comes days after Sony has begun to implement its PlayStation Network online after a prolonged downtime. It was not completely smooth sailing; the influx of users attempting to change their password has prompted Sony to halt temporarily the process earlier this week. the feat of password later took down log-ins, but Sony denied that it was a new hack.
