Nintendo had a superficially similar issue. Ever heard of 10NES and Rabbit chip? Although it seemed an obvious win, Nintendo rather settled it out of court. Justin Titus Writer 10 years ago. Sad thing is everything they do will effect the end user more then Sony, way to fight for the people guys.
It was hilarious, yeah, but when various individuals and groups try to censor free speech on the internet who else is better qualified to stand up against them?
Regardless of how you feel about Anonymous, they're the only group willing to do something about those people we all know and hate. Does anyone feel sorry for the DDoS against Westboro? Or the complete and utter annihilation of Hal Turner? Don't you all wish something could be done about the insanity that is Scientology or the incompetence of companies like HBGary?
These Backtrace guys may be sad that their group of trolls has evolved into something bigger and scarier, but Anonymous provides a service to everyone that is tired of watching evil people get away with evil acts because our current system doesn't adequately protect the individual.
Their attacks, while ultimately irrelevant, are more than anyone else has done against the infringement of personal rights that has been perpetuated for far too long. That makes sense.
It seems like we have our next wave of terrorists. PS Students who have no real world experience should refrain from foolish comments. Last edit by David Hernandez on 4th April pm. I still think it would be more beneficial for everyone involved to sit down and discuss what can be done to resolve this issue.

How do you know those people are not mature students, or going to night school while they work in a job?! Andrew Jakobs Lead Programmer 10 years ago. These 'hackers' have nothing to do with the PS3 hacking scene and really have no relation to Hotz or Graf. Anonymous is nothing but a bunch of spoiled brats only to make a name for themselves.. They are just some vandalists, nothing more, nothing less..

I'm simply curious to see what they're going to do to Sony. I hope Sony gets their names, because this kind of hacking is clearly illegal. They are not some sort of rebels that try to fight a bad system they just want to cause damage.

Easy make yourself a PS3. The one Sony makes is not for that purpose. Deal with it! This has gone beyond idiotic, but hey, that's what goes for "normal" when you confuse freedom of speech with freedom from responsibility, I guess As for piracy,the fact is it alive and well and can not be stopped untill games are cheaper and made better then it will most likely go down and sales increase,but it will never stop.
Last edit by Jamie Watson on 5th April am. Chris Brian For a coder this is somethink akin to an artist not being able to draw on a surface without the permission of a notebook manufacturer.
Self expression - some people write code for calculators. To do things that no one did before, or better. Just take a look at one of the 64k or 4k demos. While its easy to blame him fir the resulting situation, it was well known he is working on this, especially after Sony removed otherOs.
Well, PSN went down and so went the official websites as far as I heard. Was playing online the other day and got disconnected had to wait a bit to get back online and play with my friends.
Sorry, but however you want to color it this is wrong, it affected the users more then it did Sony probably, I came back from a long day and wanted to enjoy some gaming time just to be countered by this crap, so yeh, way to make your point to the people anonymous For all the people backing them up, I said it before, Jailbreaking and buying and cracking your own hardware is one thing, encountering someone who hacked thanks to the jailbreak which makes an online game impossible is another When you buy a PC, you buy the hardware and a license to use Windows, you don't OWN Windows, if you buy a Playstation you own the hardware, not the OS running on it, if you change any of it Edited 2 times.
Last edit by Joffrie Diependaele on 5th April am. Your corrupt business practices are indicative of a corporate philosophy that would deny consumers the right to use products they have paid for and rightfully own, in the manner of their choosing. Perhaps you should alert your customers to the fact that they are apparently only renting your products?
In light of this assault on both rights and free expression, Anonymous, the notoriously handsome rulers of the internet, would like to inform you that you have only been 'renting' your web domains.
Having trodden upon Anonymous' rights, you must now be trodden on. Anonymous took down the PlayStation Network within two weeks of its warning, and the network stayed down for 23 days. During that time, Anonymous also stole the personal details of some 77 million PlayStation accounts. The hackers had sent a very clear message. Following the Anonymous attack, Sony was absolutely inundated. By one security firm's count, there were 21 major incidents in the six months that followed the initial PlayStation Network outage.
Some of these attacks were relatively harmless breaches on Sony's international websites. Some the websites were defaced. Some were taken offline completely. Some data was stolen. But some of the hacks that followed the historically devastating PlayStation Network bonanza were historically devastating in their own right.
For instance, in June , LulzSec broke into Sony Pictures servers and stole private information, including passwords and home addresses, of over 1,, accounts. The hackers say that the data was easy to find and unencrypted. Passwords were just sitting there in plain text. If that sounds familiar, it's because the exact same thing just happened again. The attacks just kept coming. By the end of the six-month string of hacks, Sony's stock price fell by nearly percent.
Some people thought it was an inside job since Sony apparently fired a slew of people from the department that's supposed to guard the company from cyberattacks just two weeks before the initial breach. It seems more likely, though, that they were just bad at their jobs. Things calmed down for Sony in the years after the PlayStation Network debacle, so much so that you might've thought it had fixed its cybersecurity problems for good.
The company also admitted that it discovered a breach in its PlayStation video game network on 20 April but did not report the matter to US authorities for two days and only informed consumers on 26 April.
On Tuesday the company admitted the names, email addresses and phone numbers of 25 million Sony Online Entertainment SOE customers were stolen in the attack, which also hit 77 million PlayStation Network gamers. Debit card records of 10, customers in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain were compromised in the attack.
