Sony Pictures Official Website & Facebook Page Hacked By Anonymous (#OpSony)


Remember few days ago we have covered that hacktivist Anonymous has given warning to Sony. Recently the have posted a YouTube video declaring that they will hack Sony again. If Sony doesn't stop their support of the Stop Online Piracy Act. Anonymous has confirmed that they have once again hacked Sony Pictures, gaining access to their Facebook account and website. Anonymous did threaten Sony for supporting the controversial SOPA bill and now it seems that the threats materialized.
The hack hit the Sony Pictures Facebook page and its web site homepage, according to reports and tweets from those involved. Comments were left on the web pages, but have since been removed.
The attacks carry the name #OpSony and were noted through the @s3rver_exe Twitter account


"#OpSony SonyPictures Hacked! by s3rver.exe , Anonnerd and N3m3515," says a tweet from that user, who continued, "I uploaded a @YouTube video (link removed) Sony Pictures Hacked By Anonymous."
"The hack wasn't big, but still the servers were vulnerable and I got access to the admin too," The Hacker added.
In 2011Anonymous caused major problems for Sony after successfully hacking into the firm's online gaming network and stealing the login information of thousands of users, forcing the system offline for several weeks.
