this was a thread on another EQ site .. with some info on it about the hackers .. imo when they catch them they ought to put their heads on pikes for screwing us out of our game for however long it takes sony to fix and secure the problems the dirt bags caused.
After claiming that Sony’s lawsuit against George Hotz et al was an attack on free speech, hacking collective Anonymous declared war on Sony. Hoping to seek revenge on the company, Anonymous warned that Sony would soon suffer for their actions. Now, Sony.com and PlayStation.com has fallen to the hackers, with more sites promised to follow.
Speaking on a IRC chat a group of Anonymous are currently attacking several Sony sites. At the moment both Sony.com and PlayStation.com (including the PlayStation Store over PC) are down, presumably due to a DDoS attack – a distributed denial-of-service attack. People involved in the attack, called “OpSony” are asking that hackers “crash all server of sony please”. (Update - Some people can connect to Sony.com, but the site is extremely slow).
Update 2: The PSN is also experiencing intermittent connection issues for numerous gamers. (Sony have said that the “PSN currently undergoing sporadic maintenance. Access to the PSN may be interrupted throughout the day. We apologize for any inconvenience.”)
In a document detailing some members plans for the attack, other sites targeted include sonypictures.co.uk and sony-europe.com, which are currently up.
Several members have also stated that the “Operation isnt over until sony do a press release”.

And finally...........the Bang!
Sony has gained much attention, controversy and exposure ever since it took the PlayStation 3[ch8242]s first hackers, George Hotz and fail0verflow, to court. Some have joined Geohot’s battle against Sony and spent their time working on finding a way to thwart the PS3[ch8242]s security ever since Sony’s 3.60 firmware update. Now, a group that were behind the hacking of the entire Gawker network (Kotaku’s parent company), Amazon as well as Mastercard has declared a war on Sony due to their dealings with Hotz.
A statement released by the group, who are named Anonymous said:
Congratulations, Sony. You now have now received the undivided attention of Anonymous. Your recent legal action against our follow hackers, Geohot and Graf_Chokolo, has not only alarmed us, it has been deemed wholly unforgivable.”
You have now abused the judicial system in an attempt to censor information on how your products work. You have victimised your own customers merely for possessing and sharing information, and continue to target every person who seeks this information. In doing so you have violated the privacy of thousands. This is the information they were willing to teach the world for free. The very same information you wish to suppress for sake of corporate greed and complete control of the users.
Now you will experience the wrath of Anonymous. You saw a hornets nest, and stuck your p*nises in it. You must face the consequences of your actions, Anonymous style.
Knowledge is Free. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not Forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

Nice...How many people would agree that these "Hackers" should just be taken out of their mom's basements and put on public display to be stoned to death. Violation of free speech my ass, when you HACK and STEAL things from a major company its a crime. Now all of the people who pay for the services that SOE offer are shit out of luck because some hacker community has a hard on for a couple retards who got lucky in court.
I just really don't understand why people like this are allowed to breathe. If your so badass then you shouldn't be afraid to let everyone know who you are. But apparently you were the ones who put their dicks in a hornets nest. SOE is doing what it must to defend the integrity of their systems security. I stand by them unconditionally, and believe that when you are found through your IP addresses, it should be fully within Sony's power to have you executed.
If you agree with me post and lets weed out these wastes of flesh and destroy them.
