'Anonymous' says they're going to attack PSN (again)

" I don't know if i am just dumb or whatever but.. what compels someone to HATE a company like Sony? What did they do that was sooo bad that these " hackers" feel its their duty to attack Sony and their customers?  "

" There are some stupid people on the internet. "

" Holy fucking shit.Anonymous didn't hack PSN.  Doing a DDOS with the LOIC doesn't make you a god damn hacker.  But whatever, use them as scapegoats so when PSN keeps getting hacked you have people to blame while letting the real hackers go free.God damn retards. "

" Hey guys I'm going to hack PSN next week and give out your credit card information.

Totally. Like, for real.

" are you an idiot or just gullible "

As gullible and stupid as CNET and Gizmodo, apparently."

I don't get it.  How can one attack a network that isn't even up and running?

" I don't get it.  How can one attack a network that isn't even up and running? "

Since it's clearly just a bunch of bullshit, I'm finding all of this very hard to care about.

Either they're really butthurt over the Geohot thingy or they're just sad b******* with no lives

Trolls be trolling, ignore this stuff.

Where is the sony private army when you need them.

This?

...dude, does this thread look like people are using logic? "

" This thread is comedy gold, GOLD I say!

I'm completely confused now. How are any attacks confirmed to be "anonymous" if they are just a loose group who call themselves that? If I was to make a youtube video saying I was anonymous and I hacked sony, how would anyone know that it was true or false? Like the video saying they denied this sony attack, how is it known whether that was genuine or not? Or am I just missing something here.    

Yeaaaah, no!.

This thread is comedy gold, GOLD I say!

PS: is it me or has there been some sort of influx of the internet general pop into the GB forums recently? haven't seen so little clue in so many posts in a while

uguys whats the big deal uguys

@Choffy: No, I think it's because you take everything that mentions 4chan at heart.

@Choffy: No, I think it's because you take everything that mentions 4chan at heart.  

I didn't mention 4chan, or cry foul. I posted a link to a Gizmodo article, a pretty damn reputable site that quoted CNET. Figured it was interesting and worth a post. "

Anonymous isn't after your personal info or the info of private citizens.

They are deplorable wannabes, but none the less they have a strict guideline that makes them feel like Digital Robin Hoods of a sort (sorta quoting a song by a cool game reviewer here).

They only like to bother major media covered political/corporate figures for the attention but all together are fairly harmless in that they are not out to steal personal info from the people. This being said, hackers and hacker groups dont work like gangs at all and anyone can wear their tag at any time reporting to be affiliated with them. Because Anonymous is seeking so much attention, this has been the scape goat of late for any hacker actually trying to get away with something more sinister then what Anonymous does.

I think at the moment Anonymous would be better suited trying to lose all this attention as, for any real hacker, attention is the last thing you want and things like what I just described are the ultimate outcome. I think Anonymous should pull their efforts and attempt to stop the real hackers that are giving them the kind of attention they don't want- such as with stealing peoples personal info.

I am not sure if they have the ability or know how to do that though.

But that's just my opinion.

I prefer the Anonymous that tries to expose Scientology not the ones that makes Socom 4 pointless to own.

CNET didn't name anonymous they said a tip came from a chat room. About as reliable as the times citing a message board post as info.

Gizmodo is shit, and no one is stupid enough to even trust Gizmodo with tech news...and CNET is just as retarded.  If it isn't from ArsTechnia, Twit.tv, or another legit news source that does it's research it's not worth it.  

I'm going to hack PSN tonight, so make a thread about that. 

I think this is all getting a little out of hand, when the services do come online later this week (maybe) I am pretty sure they will stay online, as I am sure they have finally upgraded their security. 

The really funny thing is everyone throwing around the word "Anonymous" like it's some insane, centralized "hacker" group. 

" @Tennmuerti: I don't get how the fuck people are so blindly defending Sony these past few weeks.  Sony stated their firewalls were shit alongside their encryption, it's like the hardcore Sony fans are worse than the casual Apple fans right now.  Even the Apple fans flipped shit about the tracking, but...Sony loses all their information due to lax security, and the fanboys don't mind.EDIT:  Before some moron says I'm an Xbox fanboy, may I remind you to go to the Gran Turismo 5 page and the Versus XIII page. "

@Choffy: Not talking about you at all.

dont think its real but if it is  GOOD LUCK  coz not only is sony going to be buffed up a hell of a lot there on high alert  and at this point NO ONE is going to be on there side because every sony user is probaly annoyed with this to some degree right now be it there details stolen  or the down time  or parents thinking there childs details are out there

" How can you or Gizmodo say Anonymous is doing the attack when there's no mention of Anonymous. "

KILL IT WITH FIRE SONY!
