Sony server found to host phishing website

Security vendor F-Secure has discovered that the server holding the official Sony website for Thailand also has a phishing site active on it. The official site is located at sony.co.th, where as the phishing site is live on hdworld.sony.co.th (do not visit). As the image below shows, it relates to an Italian credit card company.

The less savvy users surfing the web may rightly think this is an official partner page as it is hosted on Sony’s site. But the reality is someone has managed to hack the Sony Thailand server and inject this page without Sony noticing.

F-Secure has reported the hack to Sony who should take it down in short order. In the meantime, we suggest steering clear of any pages hosted on sony.co.th.
