Sony Losing Cyber War To Hackers Who Are Battering Them In Several Countries

Howard Stringer

Sony is under attack on several fronts, by a group of unnamed hackers that continue to pummel the company over the internet, with blow after blow. Sony's music, video game and mobile phone websites in America, Canada, Japan, Greece, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia, have been seriously hacked, with millions of consumers' personal and financial data stolen.

Houses of legislature in America and Taiwan are angry, demanding answers from Sony, who've gone silent again. The public was not amused when it was revealed Sony's internet defenses failed, due to software firewalls that were not being updated in a timely fashion, to address emerging exploits.

The company is facing $24 billion in losses from the hacks alone, in damage that keeps mounting. It's stock and profits are way down, as the hacks and earthquake, then tsunami that damaged its Japanese headquarters, wreaked havoc on sales and productivity. Based on mainstream articles, more hacks are planned against the beleaguered company, who do not seem to grasp the gravity of what has transpired nor what they are facing.

Sony is losing consumers in droves, who no longer feel they can safely shop for music or phones or pay to play video games on the company's websites. As such, Sony products have become tainted. I cannot recall a single corporation that was battered this badly by hackers.

The unprecedented Sony hack that will reportedly cost the company $24 billion dollars, has taken a new twist. It is being reported 10,000,000 unencrypted credit card numbers have been stolen from the Sony servers in San Diego, California and 2,200,000 of them have been offered for sale by hackers.

Howard Stringer

As someone who has been the victim of identity theft in an unrelated incident, I feel sorry for the people whose financial data has been compromised. In response to cries from PSN users for a Sony boycott, company executives apologized yesterday. However, based on online feedback, I don’t think it will help, as PSN users are defecting to Microsoft.

Rihanna Embarrasses Herself On Twitter By Falsely Claiming Concert Is Sold Out

When Twitter Attacks

Rihanna

So-called singer, Rihanna, made a massive blunder on Twitter this week that left the internet in hysterics. Rihanna's "Loud" tour has been suffering from poor sales. She retweeted the comments of a fan, "StarsGoneMad" who proclaimed Rihanna’s Minneapolis, Minnesota concert was sold out one hour after the tickets went on sale.

In response to the news, Rihanna excitedly wrote "Minneapolis stand up!" No, Rihanna sit down. Bloggers began checking Ticketmaster, only to find out the show is not sold out in any measure, as loads of seats are still available.

Years ago, the Judiciary Report and its sister site, the Sound Off Column, used to do that to clown another lip syncing liar, Madonna. Untalented artists’ egos always get to the stage, pardon the pun, that they cannot deal with failure and lie as a result.

Rihanna is going to be performing to the ushers and concession stand people. Look for a major Rihanna ticket giveaway to radio stations, schools, homeless people, small animals…

Rihanna Arena Tour To Be Scrapped Due To Poor Sales

Rihanna

Faux singer, Rihanna, is facing humiliation this week, as her latest tour "Loud" has been scrapped, due to poor ticket sales. Her current and former CDs have bombed as well. The smug, arrogant rip-off artist was forced to face reality, regarding her career being in the toilet - and it is fitting.

To have that kind of ego and no talent to back it up is ridiculous. Everything, from her music, fashion looks, images and perfume, have been unlawfully stolen from others. The woman is a complete fake.

Rihanna is being slammed in mainstream publications, as a purveyor of porn music. She was even slammed by Farrakhan in a massive diss, regarding her "filthy" career choices and lifestyle. Isn't she tired of disgracing herself and her family.

The fact of the matter is, Rihanna is an overrated, under talented wannabe artist, with less brain cells and clothes, than talent. On a modest day, a conservative ensemble for Rihanna would be a g-string. People are tired of seeing that nastiness.

Rihanna is trying to put on this hardcore-music-chick image, but she comes off as a total pretender, mimicking what others have done in the past. She clumsily keeps trying to show she is tough and cutting edge, when she is a prostitute sleeping with industry men for career advancement - and not even that is working anymore.

Slow going for Rihanna tour

Last Updated: 12:29 AM, March 22, 2011 - Rihanna is having as tough a time selling concert tickets as she did last year. After her 2010 "Last Girl on Earth" tour hit problems with cancellations in Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, Denver and Indianapolis because of low ticket sales, it seems the pop princess still can't pack an arena, even with new management from Jay-Z's Roc Nation.

Sources say after poor US concert pre-sales last month, Rihanna has been advised by her day-to-day manager, Jay Brown, to cancel domestic dates on her "Loud" tour...Reps for Rihanna and Roc Nation declined to comment.

Postal Mail Revenue Declines

There has been a noticeable decrease in postal mail being sent by consumers, which has led to layoffs of employees. The U.S. Postal Service is hemorrhaging money and employees, while the British Royal Mail is signing licensing deals to try to make up for lost revenues.

This has occurred due to advances in technology, as many letters are now being sent by email or text. People are also communicating via instant messages and social networking sites. Therefore, the decline in revenues can be attributed to this.

Megan Fox's New Film "Passion Play" Goes STD

Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke in "Passion Play"

Fired "Transformers" actress, Megan Fox, saw her career plummet even more this week. Her new film "Passion Play" has gone STD - Straight to DVD. What did you think I meant by that STD crack. Get your minds out of the gutter. Seriously, who didn't see that flop coming. Fox is a beautiful girl, but terrible at picking good film scripts.

"Passion Play" marks her third dud in a row, preceded by "Jennifer's Body" and "Jonah Hex." Still, even with a number of flops under her designer belt since Michael Bay canned her, Fox is still doing much better than Lindsay Lohan, who they won't even let near a real film set. Even the cockroaches on film sets are being treated better than Lindsay.
