@LulzSec is a group of jolly hackers, out for fame, attacking high profile targets such as American TV Station's Fox & PBS and now, for the second time, WorldWide HackerSport target Sony.

In this latest Sony hack, they released a dump of Sony BMG's database, including information of American, Dutch & Belgian users.

As you know, I love statistics, & I love programming, so when I saw this data dumped, I'd figure I'd see what some common used passwords & mail domains were. This is the result:

As you can see, the above is the results of some analysis. It's funny to see, that for the file that had the most info (address, date of birth, etc), the most common year of birth puts most of the users at 60+ years of age.

The dump also contained some weird data for the Dutch users (since I'm Dutch myself, this was one of the first things I checked). Allmost all of the mail addresses ended with '@', which leads me to believe there's something wrong with that dump. The rest of the data seems fine, only thing I can remark is that they used a weird sequence of columns to export the data.

I didn't want to spend too much time on the program, so I've set up some strict rules, which excludes about half of the file from being parsed (inconsistent columns in the export), but that shouldn't matter too much :)

Anyway, it's been fun to do, wondering what @LulzSec's next project will be.
