Could Anon be behind the PSN attacks?
Taken from the article.
[i]"We discovered that the intruders had planted a file on one of our Sony Online Entertainment servers named "Anonymous" with the words "We are Legion.""[/i]
Seems like Sony is being toyed with. Article also seems pretty legit. [url=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/04/sonys-response-to-the-u-s-house-of-representatives/]Link.[/url]

Then they would just DDoS their game servers. Not hack PSN and steal the personal information of millions of users.
The grey blobs of basilmarket were definitely behind that.
Anon themselves said they did not do it. If they did, they would have said something about doing it. It's probably someone trying to frame them.
Doubt it, they may do harm but they don't steal information to f people over. Most of them time they just DDoS sites to protest so it doesn't fit their profile. If they wanted to protest against Sony they would have simply done that.
Also anyone could have just blamed Anon and planted that file.
[quote=Panicka]Nobody, not even the basement dwellers are going to cop to this. We're talking lawsuits and felonies here. I seriously doubt, even the socially inept children, would be willing to stick their hands in the air and say "Yeah we did it, come find us and do your worst."[/quote]
Exactly. And Anon is known to be a group of pretty talented hackers. It might not have been all of them, but I can see a couple of close/friendly members just getting together and doing this for the kicks. Therefore, the blame couldn't be put on Anon as a whole. Instead of the whole group being faced with lawsuits, etc., it would be more like individual punishments for the hackers actually involved.
I'm not sure, but there's an extremely high chance that they were.
im glad its not up yet because im going camping tomorrow
