Attack On Sony: This was the attack in which there were many files which were taken.

The attack was done by hackers who knew about the vulnerability of the sony systems and their encryption.
In this, the attack was SQL injection and in this many un-encrypted files of the users were taken and then as the compensation, they had to provide money to their users.
It happened in JAPAN.
The hackers did SQL injection on the data which they collected from their servers in order to find the required information.
Due to the negligence of Sony who loaded the saved the user data unencrypted which made it easy for hackers to implement SQL injection in order to decrypt it and find the information.
As this attack is very close to real-life where we put our personal details, our bank details which are sometimes not stored properly by the companies we trust most. Thus I have chosen this attack.

That was a nice question to answer

(Birthday attack) A birthday attack is a type of cryptographic attack that exploits the mathematics behind the birthday problem in probability theory. It can be used to find collisions in a cryptographic hash function. Suppose that we have a hash function which, when supplied with a random input, returns one of 256 equally likely values. The attack generates n random inputs, supplies them into the hash function, and obtains n returned values (each is chosen from the 256 possible values...
