PlayStation social media accounts hacked
A hacking group gained access to multiple Twitter accounts of the PlayStation gaming system.
The anonymous hacking group, OurMine, posted on PlayStation Brasil’s account on Sunday that the “Playstation Network database leaked.” The group also tried to get the hashtag phrase #PlaystationLeaks trending.
The tweets also involved the main PlayStation Twitter account and were quickly deleted.
The group has been known for its hacks while it also claims to provide commercial services, such as testing social media accounts for vulnerabilities.
The hacking group previously took over several of HBO's Twitter accounts, including ones for "Game of Thrones" and John Oliver's show.
That hack caused far less damage and appeared unrelated to another group of hackers who broke into HBO's computer network that doled out stolen information and unaired episodes for several weeks.
