LulzSec claims to have breached Sony Pictures

Sony appears to have been caught up in yet another file security attack, if claims by one hacking group are to be believed.

LulzSec has acknowledged that it has successfully carried out a breach of SonyPictures.com, the Japanese technology giant's online TV portal.

Through the attack, the infamous group has said that it has been able to grab personal data for one million accounts.

Such information includes home addresses, passwords, email addresses and dates of births of users, according to LulzSec.

Furthermore, it claims to have also obtained data regarding 75,000 music codes, as well as 3.5 million music coupons.

LulzSec was reported to have used an unencrypted database to grab the information, in which the group stated: "This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it."

As a result of Sony's new file security breach, the Daily Telegraph has told readers to change any passwords that are the same as that on Sony Pictures, as well as view bank accounts for any unusual activity.
