It appears that Anonymous have trouble in their ranks – not that they had ranks to begin with, in fact that's the problem. The following has been posted on a hacking site:

"We regret to inform you today that our network has been compromised by a former IRC-operator and fellow helper named "Ryan". He decided that he didn't like the leaderless command structure that AnonOps Network Admins use. So he organised a coup d'etat, with his "friends" at skidsr.us . Using the networks service bot "Zalgo" he scavenged the IP's and passwords of all the network servers (including the hub) and then systematically aimed denial of service attacks at them."

Yes, because an IRC chat host getting hacked (not even hacked really as it was orchestrated by a former admin who already had admin privileges) is equal to the PSN being down for a month and Sony loosing $2,000,000,000+...

Spot on. What would be nice to hear is that their credit card information was stolen and that all of their identities were known. THAT would be karma, and it would destroy the entire premise of "Anonymous". If they had balls at all, they would scrap the Anonymous monicker and let people know who they were.

I wouldn't think Sony makes 2 Billion profit each quarter, I'd say those numbers are well off.

I get what your saying but Karma basically is pay back by nature at any degree. It could major , it could be a minor payback. Doesn't have to equal the crime you committed . Just as long as you....GET SERVED BY NATURE :lol:

They'd practically be asking to go to jail or have some Playstation nerd with no life to come and murder them. Thats about like saying people should commit robbery with name tags on.

How do they defend consumer rights if they're willing to hinder the consumers by bringing down the network? They called other users 'collateral damage' - they're delusional fantasists

I don't think hacking a widely used network were millions of people use with their personal information is defending the consumer. Anonymous joined this battle with Sony because they basically want to show who's boss, they don't care about consumers.

Defending my consumer rights? By stealing my personal details and forcing the shutdown of PSN? By restricting my ability to use my PlayStation 3 more than Sony ever have or ever will?

2 billion is like chump change to Sony..

The market cap of the entire Sony Corporation is just under $29 billion... So $2 billion lost is a pretty big deal.

Say the US economy took a similar loss (percentage wise - just under 7%)... It would be over a trillion dollars...

So this is the same as causing billions of damage to Sony?

Sorry, this is a bump in the road for them, Sony on the other hand has been shown to be full of idiots who don't understand internet security and have years of PR to do before anyone takes them seriously again.
