2023-09-26 19:07

Sony says that it is investigating allegations of a cyberattack this week as different hackers have stepped up to claim responsibility for the purported hack.

"We have successfully all of Sony systems," read a note posted on RansomedVC's onion leak site.

"We wont ransom them! we will sell the data. due to Sony not wanting to pay."

We reached out to Sony Corporation for confirmation about the attack.

Contrary to posting a small sample, MajorNelson has "Leaked for free" a 2.4 GB compressed archive, which contains 3.14 GB of uncompressed data that it claims belongs to Sony.

Prior to this week's allegations, Sony's most prominent encounter with a cyber attack happened in 2014 when North Korean hackers breached Sony Pictures in an attempt to censure the screening of the film, The Interview.
