IT security firm Sophos has warned that hackers have broken into Sony's official Playstation website. Apparently, unauthorized code was discovered on pages promoting SingStar Pop and God of War. The code caused pop-up ads to appear on visitor's screens, telling them virii had been detected on their computers. They then conveniently provided a link to purchase anti-virus software. Apparently, it would be easy for the hackers to alter the code to perform even more malicious acts, warned Sophos.

"It is essential that all websites, especially when they are high profile like this or receiving a large level of traffic, have been properly hardened to prevent hackers from injecting malicious code on to what should be legitimate webpages," Cluley added.
