"It would seem that Anonymous is not quite done with Sony yet"
Was there any proof that it was anonymous to begin with?

What are they trying to prove this time. Last time I could at least understand their motive, dumb as it was. What has Sony done now to piss them off.
When I read the title, I unwittingly blurted "Oh my god..." in a Togos. Why the hell would anyone get off to this? I guarantee there will be "HAHAHA, serves Sony right for *stupid reason*" comments in this post, too.
I wonder if they're mad cuz Scott Pilgrim didn't get a PSN DLC update like XBLA.
Regardless, they already had their lulz last year. Now it seems they're just being annoying.

I thought it was pretty much a given by now that nobody trusts Sony with any important information anyway.
Well, it's Anonymous. 'They' can claim anything, because there is no 'they'. I mean, 'Anonymous' is anywhere between 1 and 6.9 billion people, all of whom are entirely anonymous. Anybody can claim they have done absolutely anything under the name 'Anonymous'.
So, they probably have hacked PSN. And they probably haven't. Someone or someones, who has(have) decided to call themselves Anonymous, has almost certainly, at some point, nicked a load of info off PSN. But there is no 'group' that's done it, nor can 'Anonymous' do anything with any infomation they have obtained. That would imply organistation, a hierarchy and claiming responsibility, none of which is compatible with anonymity.

They're anonymous. There can't be any reason or organisation behind anything they do. If there was then they couldn't be anonymous. A complete lack of rationale and responsibility is inherent in the movement.

"Update: Kotaku points out that the document of leaked data linked to in the Twitter account appears to be identical to one posted on the Internet back in March.
This suggests that PSN -- and the data therein -- is safe, though we're still waiting to hear back from Sony for confirmation and will update when we hear back."

This is a portion of the supposed data as well as a motive clearly written by a some 12 year old.

Very quick to pick up on this story about Sony, but was the genuine story about battlenet getting hacked??

Ugh. Ya know, part of what's good about the Anon ideal is that they're an unregulated group of random individuals on the internet. There's no structure, there's no order, there's no leaders, there's on agenda. They do what they do. And when it comes to grey hat stuff like tracking down pedophiles who post on 4Chan and shutting down the NYPD in retaliation for police brutality, it's fucking awesome and I'm glad groups like that exist out there.
When they go around attacking Sony for removing half assed Linux support from their console in order to make sure they can actually afford to continue supporting that console in the future, it's fucking childish and stupid. All so they can rally around Geohot, some kid on the internet who wasn't hugged enough as a child and spends his days fucking with other people's money because he hasn't nothing better to do with his life.
Glad this is a fake, anyway. Hopefully we can all go back to watching Sony's showing at Gamescom and do what all real gamers should be doing: ENJOYING FUCKING VIDEO GAMES.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's updated again.

Glad to hear that it was fake, I hate thinking up new passwords as I have like 10 different ones to keep track of.
I sure hope they haven't! No or my personal details security, but because there are far far far more pressing matters for Anon to be addressing!!!!
I remember when 4chan could actually hack. Now it's just 14 year olds reposting the same crap over and over again. RIP 4chan 2011
Eh, either way, change your passwords often and be smart about what you pick. This is the shit we have to go through to live our lives the way we do now, dealing with digital highwaymen that we can't bludgeon to death with a plank of wood.
well it appears at least something was hacked: http://pastebin.com/HUjZPaF3
the guy posting this claims he did the hack and has 50gb of files, it shows quite a few email addresses but really it can be from anywhere. Some time ago in the Netherlands we had something like that a Hacker claimed to have hacked the largest isp in the country showing quite a large list of email addresses and passwords using the provider mail however the hack was from some webshop months back creating a lot of panic for nothing.

"Update #3: Official word from Sony: "We’ve confirmed that the recent claim that PlayStation Network was illegally hacked and that customer passwords and email addresses were accessed is completely false."]"
Got it Sony, press conference confirming the hack next Tuesday.

Seriously, hacks can only make PSN worse. If they eventually force Sony off the multiplayer arena, then who loses?
awww Jimmy is late with the updates again, it looks likes you prep up some Sony fanboy traffic lures. oh well, review some new PSN games and give it shitty score that would make you feel better.
Anonymous can't risk ruining the PSN now that Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk 2 is available for download. That was likely the smartest business move that Sony and NIS could have ever made. They have too much to lose now,being one of the favorite games of many in their number.
It's better than using a human shield, granted the human shield was a adorable Japanese woman/girl.
As a result, no future PSN/SEN hacking/DDoS attack threat will be genuine again ever.

Really? Anonymous is a joke these days. It was never anything serious but now it's just 12 year olds trying to scare people.
"All so they can rally around Geohot, some kid on the internet who wasn't hugged enough as a child and spends his days fucking with other people's money because he hasn't nothing better to do with his life. "
WTF??? SONY used their power to get the US police to raid this kid's place FOR HACKING THE PS2 and the US justice system to prosecute him so badly that he chose to get out of the US. That's what I know about Geohot, and also that he did some great hacks for rooting the iPhone. I have never heard of him "fucking with people's money".
SONY deserve a lot more punishment than these pranks.
