Sony has faced a torrid few weeks as its networks have become targets for hackers

Sony is investigating another hacking attack on one of its websites.

A group called Lulz Security claims to have broken into Sonypictures.com and accessed details of a million users.

Passwords, home addresses and other personal information relating to several thousand of the accounts was released online.

It is the third major hack to hit Sony since April when the PlayStation Network was targeted and the details of 77 million users compromised.

Details of the latest attack were made available on the recently created Lulz Security WebSide

A LulSec press release said: "SonyPictures.com was owned by a very simple SQL injection, one of the most primitive and common vulnerabilities, as we should all know by now.

"From a single injection, we accessed EVERYTHING. Why do you put such faith in a company that allows itself to become open to these simple attacks?"

This news affects me a lot because I have the Play Station3 and could not play.

Since I do not buy games online, I did not give the account number and neither I pointed nowhere.

I was lucky because I stole my password.

Now I can play, but I was almost a month or more without being able to play.
