Anonymous targets Sony

Notorious hacker group Anonymous has publicly threatened Sony, after the firm launched legal action against two file sharers in the US.

The two hackers, called GeoHot and Graf_Chokolo, are being sued for sharing jail broken PS3 codes

It is the latest move in Operation Payback, the organisation's mission to retaliate to what it sees as unjustified crackdowns of file sharers.MCV UK

Who they think they are to threaten anyone?? They all are the ones who started it all. I so hope Sony "destroys" all of them. If only for their arrogant behaviour (especially Geohot who brought everything on himself since he didnt stay private and went public).

This was always the risk Sony ran going so ferverently after Geohotz. These guys can be a major headache for companies, and even governments.Danm_999

Seriously, If I was Geohot and managed to get into PS3, I would have never EVER considered thinking about doing what he did. Did he really think they would just leave him alone?

People actually believe these hackers are the smartest and best at what they do. They're well known because they do their thing outside the lines, but Sony has plenty of talented people who are every bit their equal. Sony knows what they're doing and I think they've handled this entire matter appropriately. "Sony's in trouble because X hacker is after him." BS, Sony is fine and they'll continue to be fine.incuensuocha

[QUOTE="Danm_999"] [QUOTE="Danm_999"] If Sony had gone about it without the personal attacks and constant misinformation given to the press it might well have passed by, but as they decided to try and be as vocal and ****ish as possible it unsurprisingly blew up in their faces. It was a poor PR gaff IMO.tommyas

Stay smart, nobody wants this to backfire. Good luck with whatever, and I'm pulling out of this topic with my ejection office chair.

The PS3 stayed basically unhacked longer than pretty much any other mainstream hardware.blue_hazy_basic

Because the obvious counter example is the PS2 or the PSP.
