I think you both misunderstood the question...(Although Morgon got it a bit, I think)

I'm not asking WHY they're hacking Sony, but WHAT are they taking? To quote LulzSec:

Hey @Sony, you know we're making off with a bunch of your internal stuff right now and you haven't even noticed? Slow and steady, guys.

'Making off with a bunch of your internal stuff'. I can't imagine what Sony has left to steal.

The former US president started two wars, killing hundreds of thousands of people. BP leaked countless barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Dictators in the middle east fire on their own people..... and these guys attack an entertainment company. Way to unleash some social justice.

It's called priorities, mate. They ain't got 'em.

yea right...the beginning of the end my ass! All it will do is deprive the customers of all the good games and services that Sony has. I've also been a loyal customer and I love EQ2 and SWG.

Why wreck my fun and put my information at risk again to 'take the man down'? This is getting infuriating and ANYONE left defending these guys can jump in that vat of toxic dizzolvement as well.

I just hope that Sony and the FBI are ready for whatever might occur, and can catch these people before too much damage is done.

I still don't see why Hackers exist... Like, when I look at what the Hacktivist (Anon) do in Egypt or any of the Dictator Ruled countries I can understand why they exist, but "Why" do Hackers who just destroy peoples enjoyment, steal their stuff, phish you constantly (Overall a little part of their online lives)... WHY DO THEY EXIST!

ooooooohhhhhhhhhh gotcha, to be fair, that line about making away with stuff makes me wonder of its just panic talk...seems kinda non-specific like

 

[RatRace123]

Can't these guys just piss off now? Maybe suffer some kind of horrible inury too? Maybe?
Just a thought, 'cause this is getting old, and the only ones their hurting now are Sony customers, especially if more data is taken.

Though, if I do get my identity stolen, then there's nothing stopping me from taking up arms and going on a personal crusade to see these bastards face deadly justice... Like The Punisher only nerdier.

First, I used to be a frequent poster on the System Wars board at Gamespot, but the constant barrage back and forth between PS3 and 360 fanboys wore me out. At first, it was funny to see the PS3 fanboys getting "their due", after their elitest attitudes toward xbox owners (the original one) and seeing the 360 come out and do so well, while the PS3 fell flat on its face at launch. I did rather enjoy that at the time, and was staunchly against the PS3.

While my stance against it has softened a little bit, I am still not a fan of the system. However, I do NOT like seeing whats happening to them now. There is a tremendous difference between seeing some of the crazy things Kaz Hirai would say, and seeing it blow up in his face, versus watching the PS3 fanbase getting screwed over the way they are now. This is dangerous, and to any xbox fanboys that think its funny, it could happen to us, too.

The people that are truly getting hurt by this are our fellow gamers, and its a terrible shame. I really am sorry to all the PS3 owners that are suffering through this.

Yeah I think it's them talking big. Also I feel that if Anon wants to be taken seriously ever again they should take down this lulzsec group and show us taht they are really in it for us, not for greed

Getting me some popcorn.

How responsible of you to merely enjoy reports of these criminal activities, thus feeding their own self righteousness.

Well, he may have a point. Cheering them on would make them feel like they're in the right, and indignation would just make them continue as a "haha, Fuck you!"

Sony had my bank account info, so for awhile I did have something personal in this. But at this point I'm more inclined to pass popcorn around as well. It's just gotten so...retarded.

I guess one thing we know, English isn't their first language.

That's Ingreish, they are speaking.

'Making off with a bunch of your internal stuff'. I can't imagine what Sony has left to steal.

Let's look at the word 'internal' logically. What would be considered both 'internal' and valuable for a hacker group? Information? Would be the most likely in this case, but from where? Executive level? Network level? Finance level? And from which of these departments would suit their purpose best? However, this brings a more detailed question that, I believe, you were getting at: What do they believe is the best way to bring Sony down? Speculations abound, but I'm sticking with what I posted previously as my main suspicions.

... I still don't even know why. Where's their motivation?

My thoughts exactly.

As I said on a similar thread about the issue, these guys can fuck right off. I just want to play my PS3 online in peace.

Because you pay attention to them, perhaps?

Well, atleast now I know their message. Sweet delicious fanboy tears.

Dear Hackers,

Grow up and use your skills to make hacking more difficult and that way you can make some good honest money.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned.

LulzSec? Sownage? Really? -__-

Welcome to hacker culture! Leave your intelligence at the door, you won't be needing it.

 

[Roganzar]

*sigh* Can we please stop now guys. I'd like to play the two extra cases for L.A.Noire and you jerks are not going to make me buy an Xbox 360, pay for the "privilage" of xbla and rebuy the game. Yes, I doubt its that level of thinking, realisticly, but if their reason isn't that then they really have no reason and are just dicks.

 

[Alucard788]

I think that it's time that Sony customers united and made a statement of there own. We need to pull together and denounce this...to let people know that we are the ones that will be hurt by this.

It's our information and our pastimes that are going to be harmed. This isn't an attack on Sony the corporation, no this is a direct attack on we the gamers.

Ugh this just makes me so mad!

 

[BabySinclair]

Pissing off the client gets the entire user network to scream for blood of hackers, never a good move. Hell AnonOps (when it existed) said it was a poor move.

Why do I have a feeling the FBI, who is monitoring it all, is just scooping up IPs at this point, they may as well be trying to get into the FBI networks at this point and since they employ better hackers...

that is a meme...
just like how nyun cat is a meme
just like 'umadbro faic man' is a meme.

it all rings of unorginiality to me.

Any idea how we can do that?

And here I thought they were going to do a port. Shucks.

Don't do anything that delays my playing infamous for free there, boys.
