Lol it's so funny seeing people say only 3 years. It's not like try killed anyone. I mean in some cases manslaughter is only 10 years in jail why should hacking be more than 3?Kopikatsu said:Only three years in jail? Should be longer.
Anywho, I wonder how they caught them. Wouldn't it be super fun if they had a way of tracking people down through Proxy servers?
I was thinking the exact same thing XDMudkipith said:... A police department has a Twitter feed?
SSR. State-Sponsored Rapists. We rape, for justice.Raiyan 1.0 said:Waiting for Escapists to demand they be punished by prison rape, performed by state-sponsored rapists.
Three years doesn't sound like a lot, but image having no freedom for that much of your life. It would be awful.CM156 said: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
Yeah, because bringing down government websites is what did it. Yep, Anon are the real heroes! Come the hell on dude, I was reading an article just last week about how the "social network revolution" was a fabrication. The internet had little to nothing to do with what's going over there, it's just a way for us to feel connected, like we in some way did something.thethingthatlurks said:For bringing PSN down for no reason, these idiots deserve to rot in jail. For bringing down the government websites of Libya, Tunisia, Iran, and Egypt during the Arab uprising, these guys deserve a fucking medal. What? Nothing is ever strictly black and white...

This won't do anything to anonymous. They have no real leaders. It'll only make them anxious. But I have no real problem with them.

Oh who cares. Anyone who takes videogames away from fanboys is bad, right? And if the police who crack the skulls of protestors blame someone who are we to say otherwise?
No, the poorest countries in Europe are Greece and Portugal, Spain is third, and if the economy collapses it will not drag Europe, it will make the IMF enter this country (I am Spanish) and basically rape our asses with their usual cuts and their natural evil.Kakashi on crack said:Don't forget that Spain is right now the poorest country in Europe (somewhere between 13 and 22 trillion dollars in debt), and if their economy collapses it will take Europe into an economic spiral downwards into the stone age unless they GET RID of the Euro and replace it with country-based currency. It's causing more harm economically in regards to inflation and depression than its helping with its simplicity.
right, rant is over, just wanted to put that out there.
Andy Chalk said:Spain's National Police said the three men are the "local leadership" of Anonymous, the hacker group blamed for bringing down the PlayStation Network [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/tag/psn%20down?from_search=1] for more than a month beginning in mid-April. A server which was allegedly used in the PSN hack, as well as separate attacks on two Spanish banks, an Italian energy company and government sites in Spain, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran and elsewhere, was found in an apartment owned by one of the men, who was arrested "sometime after May 18" in the city of Almería; the other two were detained "recently" in Barcelona and Valencia. All three men are in their 30s.
"Spanish Police dismantle the Anonymous hacker group in Spain. They attacked [the] PlayStation Store," the police reported on its official warning [http://twitter.com/SpanishPolice] that it is legion and should be expected.
The arrests follow an investigation which was actually launched after an attack on Spain's Ministry of Culture website, protesting legislation which imposed tougher punishments for illegal file sharing. The May 18 arrest in Almería that got the ball rolling was prompted by an attack on the Spanish National Electoral Commission ahead of regional and municipal elections. It's not known how much of a role the trio actually played in the attack on the PlayStation Network.
The three men have been released without bail and are expected to be charged with "forming an illegal association to attack public and corporate web sites." If found guilty, they could be sentenced to up to three years in jail.

Okay, not everybody, but most of the people in this thread. Even the author of the article, apparently.Prosis said:snip
Since an Anon member is, by definition, anyone who claims they are part of Anon, the PSN hackers ARE part of the group, no matter who they are, since they left the signature. To clarify, the more senior members and core groups of Anonymous said that they, personally, were not involved, and that the attack was not sanctioned by the entire group.Arachon said:And here I thought it was said that Anon did not have anything with the PSN attacks to do.
The first Hack was by a subgroup of Anonymous. The hacks in the past two weeks have been done by Lulzboat.Prosis said:I thought it was Lulzboat behind the hacks, not Anonymous... Didn't lulzboat even make a website bragging that they did it?
Well, they didnt put lives at risk, if anything this just like white collar crime, how many years did the Enron dudes get?mjc0961 said:Three years? I'm not saying they should get life without parole, but three years?!
