Abstract

“ The latest high trafficked web site to fall victim into the continuing waves of massive SQL injection attacks courtesy of copycats and the ASProx botnet, is Sony’s PlayStation U.S site according to a recent post at SophosLabs’s blog :

“Researchers at IT security firm Sophos have warned lovers of video games that pages on the US-based Sony PlayStation website have been compromised by hackers. Experts at SophosLabs have discovered that cybercriminals have successfully used an SQL injection attack to plant unauthorized code on pages promoting the PlayStation games “SingStar Pop” and “God of War”.
