A Sprint store in Indianapolis was burglarized on Friday. The burglary took place just after midnight after two men broke into the store by bashing the front glass door with a rock. When it was all over, the men made off with around $20,000 in various products.

In light of the recent death of the HP TouchPad, one team named Touchdroid has stepped up to port Android to the TouchPad. These guys brought hope to the masses who spent at least $100 on a TouchPad in the hopes that it will be given new life. Sadly, there are accusations that one of the team members used Touchdroid donations for their own personal gain.

What’s this? Another hacking story? Surely you didn’t think the fun would be over so quickly did you? One of the latest victims of the great hacking craze of 2011 is the jobs website for The Washington Post. At this time, it isn’t known who is behind the hacks, but they did make off with a bunch of email addresses.

Microsoft is alerting consumers about scams that are currently going on in countries such as the United States, the UK, Ireland and Canada. The scams are designed to make potential victims feel insecure about their computer’s security. They then trick people into giving them access to different things that result in theft, computer problems or loss of money.

Citibank confirmed on Wednesday that it had become the victim of a hacker attack that resulted in the theft of customer data. Account numbers, contact information and customer names for 1% of Citi’s 21.2 million North American customers were stolen. The attack was discovered in early May during routine maintenance, but Citi did not confess to it until it was put through the wringer by the Financial Times.

Here we go again. Another Sony property has been hacked. This time the victim is Sony Pictures, and LulzSec has taken credit for the break-in. LulzSec also hacked into the Sony Music Japan website at the end of May. Do you want to know how LulzSec managed to pull off the hack? It used a SQL injection tool. This is the same method that was successful in every Sony website attack we’ve reported on over the past few weeks.

You already know where this story is going. The Hacker News again reports that the Sony Ericsson Canadian eShop website was hacked by a Lebanese hacker who goes by Idahc. Just like the Sony Music Japan and Sony BMG Greece website hacks, Idach used a SQL injection to obtain personal data of around 2,000 customers. Idahc, just like the previous database hackers, posted the contents of the database on pastebin.com. At this time, the contents of the database are no longer on the website.

Vodofone New Zealand made a very serious claim on Twitter yesterday when it said that the launch of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (PlayStation Phone) would be delayed. The reason for the delay is what made this story so upsetting. Vodafone said that it suffered a security breach and all of its Xperia Play smartphones were stolen. Vodafone has now admitted that it made the whole thing up as a way to drum up business.

At the tail end of March, Epsilon’s database was breached resulting in the theft of millions of email addresses. The email addresses belonged to customers from a number of popular companies such as Verizon, TiVo, JP Morgan Chase Kroger and others. Even though no personal information besides email addresses were stolen, that may be enough to trick some users into being victims of phishing scams.

Welcome back to the oddball tech stories of the week. We all know that robots are quite good at building cars (well, some cars), vacuuming, and serving tennis balls. Did you know that they could one day help us colonize Mars? Technology is good, however sometimes it makes us do dumb things. How dumb? How about stealing a computer from a jail? It actually gets dumber. Keep reading.
