We have written diaries on Sony’s security woes over the past few months, first one was a DDoS against its infrastructure [1] followed by the hacking of the Sony PlayStation network that took their network offline for several weeks, affecting all its PlayStation customers [2]. This week, SonyPictures was compromised by a group of individuals calling themselves LulzSec who took over 1,000,000 unencrypted plaintext customer password. Last week, another attack took place, this time against Sony Music Entertainment Greece website [3] who took usernames, passwords, email addresses and phone numbers.

One question comes to mind. With all of this data lost, if a PCI compliant corporation can be this easily targeted and compromised, is PCI a good standard to measure security posture?

For example, support for files greater than 2 GB, it can export SSL session keys, it can export SMB objects, graphs now save as PNG images by default to name a few.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
