"Konichiwa from LulzSec, Sony bastards!" the group wrote in a post on the Pirate Bay peer-to-peer sharing site. Later, the post was updated to say: "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: HACK SONY 6 TIMES! Oh damn, we just did it again, please also find enclosed internal network maps of Sony BMG." A list of Sony hacks on the Attrition.org site lists 15 but does not include the latest LulzSec leak of Sony BMG data. LulzSec also says it hacked Sony BMG sites in Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as Sony Pictures.

Sony representatives did not immediately respond to emails and calls seeking comment regarding the report. The Sony Pictures Russia site, meanwhile, went offline after reportedly being compromised by a SQL injection, according to a post on Pastebin. Pastebin is used by hackers to post evidence of their hacks.
