The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 5 April, 2011
The hacking group 'Anonymous' has turned its collective eye on Sony, posting a picture on the AnonOps site.
Anonymous is certainly not happy with the way Sony has treated Geohot and others who have jailbroken their PS3 to run homebrew.
The group started in 2003 via 4chan and recently became a household name after they launched DDoS attacks on MasterCard, Visa, PayPal and Amazon after ... [ read the full article ]

Yep... I was going to get PS3 this Saturday but I guess not... I'll wait til Sony catches them.
Sounds like proof of success, at least partial success. At the very least, PSN store sales are taking a big hit!
In other news, they stopped targeting PSN servers because they don't want to hurt the user base...but some of the servers they are still attacking share bandwidth with PSN servers. Also, a couple other groups are now attacking the PSN as well...and they don't take orders from Anonymous. On top of that, a group like Anonymous really has no command chain; just because they officially stop targeting a server, that does not mean that it isn't still being attacked.

You should head over to the irc channel, running updates of what's going on, and you can even join the attacks if you want.
IMPORTANT: If you hate Sony for being so corrupt, copy this image into your signature too! |

Anon can do whatever they want with Sony, just don't tamper with my experience of online play.
Anon is dealing with the problem in a wrong way. Not productive at all. I agree in what they're trying to do but if they want to 'protest' they should do it in a way which won't affect the users of PS3s.
Sony also is going too far with the suing and shit and they're dealing with hackers the wrong way as well.

It's called a revolution. Sony wants to be a tyrant and now they are finding out why all tyrants fall. The people will always have more power.

weak. Anonymous keep using the same tactic; attacking the sites and servers. Sony is a billion dollar company. using that tactic doesn't even damage Sony. Anonymous is just pissing off the Gamers for the servers downtime. if Anonymous keep shutting down the servers, the Gamers and the Game Community will turn on their ASS. wait until they get caught slipping. the Feds, Sony, and other that they hack will have their penises in Anonymous ASS.

go ahead, the games are all still playable, and the BR. I was able to get on a couple hours later. The PS3 is still pretty awesome.

There seems to be a lot of hate from the everyday users who just want to play online which is understandable.
It's pissing me off.

Sony may take a short term hit from this but in the long run it will have no effect. All it does is piss off the gamers on PSN.
