The next person to hack some place like this better come up with a better name than Chippy1337...
It really sucked ass when they hacked Sony because I own a PS3, although I don't play it as much as I should. I had already pre-ordered this game (from a RL Gamestop and not the Deus Ex online store), but DAMN IT this is getting way too out of hand...they are starting to get into games I'm actually interested in now. Shits getting real and now they need to pay, whoever they are and wherever they're from.
This is how we know it was Anonymous trying to frame the 808chan because they posted it in their own IRC [http://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/05/anonymous-splinter-group-implicated-in-game-company-hack/]hermes200 said:
They got caught trying to frame "Ryan" whatever. Read the article.
Come now. This is not anon's style at all. Anyone who dislikes anon for things like this is not thinking. Disliking Anonymous is a perfectly logical position to take, but using this stuff as the reason is silly.
Come on people. This clearly wasn't Anonymous. When I refer to Anonymous, I refer to the idea of it, not the members. Spend 12 seconds on 4chan or their IRC and you'd realize that roughly 6000% of the members are complete dicks. But Anonymous is an idea, the primary function of which is to use hacking as a means of defending free speech. Stealing personal information is pretty much the exact opposite. Blaming this hack on Anonymous makes about as makes about as much sense as blaming Jesus for the Spanish Inquisition.
How quickly does the public good will turn to dust.
Two months ago, Anonymous was the crusading vigilante, fighting the evil Sony corporation.
Now, they're reduced to children fighting amongst themselves.
I never considered Anonymous "heroes", but criminals with their own agenda.
And what do they turn out to be? Criminals with their own agenda. How shocking.
Though it is entirely possible that this attack is another hacker group pretending to be an Anonymous cell. Either way doesn't change my opinion on the matter.

This is really, really bad. Not because this particular attack is so bad in its effect-although screwing up people's job applications is no laughing matter-but because it seems to prove that parts of anonymous are capable of attacks without a motive-not even for the LULZ. I see no LULZ here.
This is the inherent flaw of Anonymous; anyone with any motive can claim to be Anonymous. This usually works in their favour making them seem like a very active group with missions in every area. Recently there is a backlash because of the group either being too organised or things like this.
Does Anonymous do anything other than ruin other people's days? They're like the suicide shrubs from Minecraft!
Hope you have a big enough TV. Me, my bucket-o-popcorn and my rabite beenbag chair are interested in this, too.Macgyvercas said:
