wow, it's happening a lot now days... is this a trend? or are all the hackers desperate for money? even the self proclaimed "honorable hackers" are started to do small time criminal stuff to get some cash? guess money CAN drive people mad eh? just surprises me to see these many big budget companies being ***** slapped around by random hackers...

The dashing young hacker you proposed would go over worse. It would end up with him trapped in his house, receiving a never-ending stream of pizzas and police notifications.Lagao said:
I'm getting really tired of these fuckers. Someone please shut their asses down. Hard.
So damn pointless. Go hack terrorist assets or something, better yet, set yourselves on fire then jump off a cliff. Screwing over innocent people at random is just so stupid.

I can't say I'm inclined to care this time.
Site goes down and up. Fingers pointed. Blah blah blah.
Deux Ex is awesome, and Anon does not attack awesome things.

this is getting a little out of hand blaming "anonymous" for everything. Sony blamed them b/c it was a lot easier then actually finding out who really did it. Anon has never taken part in stealing data from people, they are the exact opposite. They look to protect peoples personal information not steal it and use it.
Oh, FFS! A "splinter group" of Anonymous? Okay, so that means it's not Anonymous anymore if they've splintered away to do their own thing. it's the whole Bogeyman thing. Lock up Anonymous? Here's an idea: Why don't they just shut down the Internet completely and throw everyone in jail? It's not like anyone actually needs it right? It's not like the majority of modern society actually uses the Internet or anything. FFS people - why do you have to drop Anonymous into every bloody thing that happens on the Internet? Is it because it's easy to get a report from Anonymous - it's just somebody saying something without their name posted. No evidence, no viability, no proof - just easy reading to back up baseless reports that might get a few extra readers to take interest.
If you've been following the news on this you'd know that the group that hacked this site is claiming itself independent of the rest of the Anonymous hacking community, they even attacked their online resources.qbanknight said:
This is a splinter group from the Anonymous hacking community that doesn't follow the "goals" of the overall group and in that case I don't think Anonymous deserves the headline, or the abuse.
Hackers are Mongolians and the internet is your City Wall. Every time they break it down, you build it back stronger. Had this never happened, security would be a lie, in fact technology as a whole may have slowed down. To allow for faster decryption, processing and encryption/transmission of data, newer tech was developed that could accommodate to "Higher Security Challenges". This technology was then made 'user friendly' which did 2 things; allowed for prior generation of technology to be re purposed for a consumer level use, but it also allowed hackers easier access. It's a big puzzle of sliding pieces, and some people do it as a career, some people do it malevolently, some people allow themselves to be tools in the attacks [DDoS nodes, botnet's] But the thing they all have in common is a goal. One goal, to take down their target. But for no hackers; not in today's society and probably not ever. It's not their goal to permanently remove their target. Because that would end the cat and mouse game.BoogieManFL said:
We have hackers to thank for our technology today, for having this forum to rant about how annoying they are. It gets inconvenient sometimes sure, but I've always just viewed it as an impromptu service update. :/
Lame set-up is lame.
Where is the humor? Where is the Anonymous Logo? Where is the "We are legion" quote?
It's fucking lame! That's definitely not what they would do. There is no motive what-so-ever as far as I am concerned.
Anyone fooled by it so far really need to learn what 'character traits' are.

Wait... So an anarchist sect of an anarchist group broke off and is now rampaging the internet. What did Square Enix do to piss them off? Or are these double anarchists just wrecking everything they see? At any rate it's stupid. Square Enix is one of the few gaming companies that is fairly innocent. Hacking them is just uncalled for.
*sigh* what's with people taking stuff like this on face value these days?
Everybody can claim their network/site was hacked.
Everybody can claim that 'Anon did it'.
You know, it's kinda convenient how you can claim some nebulous shadowy techno terrorist organisation h4x3d you to cover up your own incompetence. Especially since such group can include everybody and their mom. And such a group has no actual public face, so it's not like anyone can even deny responsibility.
Thing is, the kind of stuff from anon groups tend to be either somewhat activist in nature, or just dramatic for the lulz. Random nonsense like this? Not quite..
I'm not claiming this are *not* as they are said, but keep in mind that anon has made a lot of enemies that wouldnt care wheter they caught the people behind the masks for the right or wrong reasons, as long as they are made an example of.

I am fully aware of this and how it can strengthen our understanding of computer sciences but the same could be done without hurting people way they do. Stealing their info and sharing it and posting online it is just malicious. Some people have had their lives ruined because of this sort of thing.infinitystrain said:
Many hackers and virus creators are no better than some lunatic who goes on a shooting rampage. Randomly hurting innocent people at complete random is just pure bullshit. You don't know what effect it will have on people you don't know. You don't know their situation, their ability to deal with the problem. It's just so irresponsible and a waste of talent for those who are actually good at it and don't rely on bots and other crap.
The whole situation with the playstation network? A lot of people really enjoy that. And it's the livelihood for their employees and their families. Do you think the significant financial impact this will have on Sony is helping anyone? What about the governments that get tax money from the revenue? And then send that money to improve schools, medical research, etc. People lose entertainment, people are less likely to get raises, their get stressed and it may hurt their personal lives. And there are other companies/people who make their living via the Playstation Network and rely on it for revenue. Again, the same problems in turn affect them, and so on. I could go on and on but that's the idea.
