Anonymous PSN Attackers Arrested in Spain

Only three years?

Well, hackers can't jailbreak their way out of this one

OT: I do hope this the start of something. We really need to catch these people

this.

i understand it's just digital information and whatnot, but if you took the same situation, and turned it into physical form (which is generally possible) it's considered MUCH worse


hacker hacks company database, stole some info on the accounts and siphons some money out.



man breaks down doors, cracks vault, steals money from vault (same amount as siphon)


which one would get a worse sentence?

i really hope people like these get harsher sentences, in harsher days all their fingers would be broken and hands chopped off to prevent this happening again, but still they should be permanently STAINED and watched on their record forever for any kind of digital horseshit like this.

Hasn't Anonymous been "toppled" two or three times over now? CNET said they had a coup a couple of years ago, other said the group decapitated itself, others still say Anonymous really doesn't even hack anymore but takes credit for other groups' work.

or perhaps they played us enough so we believe they are non active atm

Highly doubt these guys have anything to do with what the police are saying.

Most likely scape goats to keep their population in check.

Also: Those who believe everything is AS IS in these type of news articles, have no idea that government agencies and police lie to us all the time.

This is the kind of post I find funny. For every doubter of an article like this, there are just as many people taking the word of hackers at face value.

"SONY STORED PASSWORDS IN PLAINTEXT. BELIEVE US BECAUSE WE SAID SO." "OH MAN! They said Sony did that and an unethical douchebag hacker would have no reason to lie! SONY STORED PASSWORDS IN PLAINTEXT!" Meanwhile they provide absolutely no proof whatsoever. Congrats guys.

How did you get me taking the word of hackers at face value from what I said?
I offered doubt as to the credibility of the police's claims then proceeded to give 2 sentences on a conspiracy theory.
I mention the suspects as "these guys" once and only as a point to the actions of the police.
Fail troll.

And...I'm the troll? Either that or you can't read. I'll re-quote myself here for comprehension, "This is the kind of post I find funny. For every doubter of an article like this, there are just as many people taking the word of hackers at face value."

Fail understanding/reading.

Too bad they couldn't get those lulzsec guys

Anon might be full of self-righteous bullshit, but at least they occasionally target the right people...
