Sony Hackers Leak Folder Called 'Passwords'

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 07 Desember 2014 | 00.02

The latest leak from the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack reveals the media giant saved thousands of internal passwords in a folder called... "Passwords".

Documents posted online since the cyber-attack last month include personal details of 47,000 employees and actors associated with the company.

The files list the home addresses and pay information of current and past employees, in one case dating back to 1955. It even contains the social security numbers of Hollywood stars Sylvester Stallone and Judd Apatow.

Information in the "passwords" folder also included the log-in details for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts for Sony films such as Ghostbusters and The Social Network.

Department passwords for Amazon and thousands of passwords to the company's internal computers were also in the leaked files.

The apparent lack of security around sensitive data will further embarrass Sony, which has been battling the fallout from the attack by a group called the Guardians of Peace.

Forthcoming Sony films including Fury, starring Brad Pitt, and the remake of Annie have been posted online since the breach.

After the hack, Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton and co-chairman Amy Pascal said in an internal memo that it was a "brazen attack on our company, our employees and our business partners".

Rumours continue that the attack originated in North Korea as revenge for the upcoming Sony film The Interview about an attempt to assassinate leader Kim Jong-Un. The salaries received by the film's stars Seth Rogen and James Franco are among the information leaked by the hackers.

North Korea denies it was involved in the cyber-attack but previously called the film "an act of war that we will never tolerate" in a letter to the United Nations.

Some cybersecurity experts say they have found similarities between the code used in the Sony hack and attacks on South Korean corporate and government systems blamed on the North last year.

The FBI has not said whether North Korea or any other country is responsible for the Sony hack but has warned American businesses to contact them if they identify malware similar to that used in the attack.
