  | Hackers Take Down Several Sony Websites; Release Threat VideoHackers Take Down Several Sony Websites; Release Threat Video - gamrFeed A hacking group that goes by the name "Hack Anonymous" has successfully infiltrated several Sony websites including Sony.com and PlayStation.com. Hack Anonymous has stated that it's declared war on Sony after the group claimed that the current Sony vs. George Hotz lawsuit is an attack on "free speech" and that Sony is abusing their customers' rights. Anonymous also released a threatening video on YouTube, viewable below, describing it as a "message to Sony." At the time of writing this, it appears that Sony.com is now back up, however PlayStation.com still appears to be down. The hacking group has also warned that they plan to attack the PlayStation Network and PlayStation Store next. Sony, at around the same time during the initial attacks, gave this statement to its PSN users: "PSN currently undergoing sporadic maintenance. Access to the PSN may be interrupted throughout the day. We apologize for any inconvenience." Is like something out of a film lol, reminds me of Saw!

| The main thing is about how Sony abuse the legal system. They have been doing it for years and a backlash like this was bound to happen sooner or later!

| For anyone who doesn't know who anonymous are, they are basically a community of hackers from 4chan... anybody who knows anything about that site knows you don't want to get on the wrong side of them which is what Sony have managed to do. Here's some other stories about them that show what Sony are dealing with: Gawker — Gossip from Manhattan and the Beltway to Hollywood and the Valley 4chan’s hackers come to the defense of WikiLeaks by attacking its enemies | VentureBeat 4chan hackers gloat as YouTube, iTunes, Wikipedia battle Independence Day bugs | News.com.au p.s. for anyone who has never been on 4chan or heard of it, don't go near it.

| I can see Sony's side of it though, releasing of the code means that other hackers can develop the coding to be used for piracy which is both bad for sony and game developers alike. I mean releasing their personal information is a bit low isn't it?

| They say they attack evil unfair companies, they should hack activison for charging us $15 for 5 maps that took no effort to make. Sony, by removing the other OS, were trying to protect their developers and users. These guys are tools and need to wake up and smell the coffee, not only this but they choose to attack sony NOW right after their country has been hit with massive devistation of a tsunami and earthquake... |
