Beware. Another Sony epic failure

Poor Sony hasn’t had an easy time as of late. Between PSN going down, discovering the information of 77 million users had been stolen, facing questions from Congress, and a new password exploit that could see customer’s accounts compromised, the company has certainly been busy fending off a storm of bad PR. Today the company was dealt another blow as it emerged that a credit card phishing scam is apparently running on one of the its servers.
The site, which could be found at *[DO NOT follow the link]* hdworld.sony.co.th up until this morning, was discovered by F-Secure and appears to be imitating an Italian credit card company. According to SlashGear, users are encouraged to enter in all of their details for a card they won’t ever receive. Though the page has nothing to do with the April 20 breach of Sony’s network, it’s certain to raise more questions regarding Sony’s security practices.
Sony has yet to comment on the incident. We’ll be sure to update if we hear anything.
So what is the general consensus among our readers?

Boycott Sony like I am.
Problem Solved.
Got a Game Idea? Look Here!
I only boycott sony because they still have yet to refund my .99 cents from the 80s for a blank tape I bought that was bad. Yeah...I'm still boycotting them for that 1 mistake, it ruined my life.
I'm boycotting Sony because my cassette player I bought in 1995 won't play my George Carlin tapes anymore.
I'm also boycotting this thread because the OP is violating the geneva convention against the English language by using the phrase "epic fail."
Na, probably for the same reason they keep getting attacked.
They are raping the DMCA through about 100 current cases and not using any lube what-so-ever.

I am done with Sony because i lost a spelling bee when i was 5 years old and I'll never get over it. Its all Sony's fault
Same, never got over them selling me that "betamax" player in the early 80's, sent my life into a tailspin that I never recovered from.

I'm boycotting Sony over a VHS player that ate my copy of The Labrynth right when it was getting to the part with David Bowie. You know the one. Years later I was unable to make references to it and my social life has never recovered. DOWN WITH SONY
Im boycotting sony for that vhs player that ate my labrynth tape right when i was gonna fap it to that jennifer connely scene, you know the one.
I'm boycotting sony because I once took a photo of my girlfriend with a sony camera, where she looked really ugly. Our relationship never recovered.

I'm boycotting Sony because I have absolutely nothing better to do with my free time than to pretend to make an impact on a faceless company.
Its epic failure. I'd say 77 million users is pretty epic proportionally, and it was no doubt a failure of providing adequate security over their networks. Sorry for combining the two & making you think you resubbed to WoW. Epic fail on my part.
LOL So the hackers also planted Philishing Links on their site?
What can I say Good Job sony at detecting this just like when sony came back up as soon as It did I went to all their games to see if the sites were up I went to vanguard and got an Apache Error yet they said it was up and it was a lie.
Sony security sucks, and I think that people shouldn't really trust them anymore as they can't protect customer information, and this is the 3rd time I have heard which sony has compromised its users.
Who knows what Data these hackers put into players accounts, game services, hell I bet the hackers also gave themselves some high Max level Ever Quest 2 characters or something as well so that they could sell the accounts lol.
Sony please run checks on every signle HTML Code you have and make sure it is safe from Philishing NUFF Said.?
Oh I can't stay mad, you scamp you.
