Hacker Group Promises Doom for Sony

[Valdus]

Pro-Free speech? Bullshit. They're nothing but thieves. I don't see how hacking the PSN network, downing the service and stealing the user info helps free speech, though it's pretty obvious how doing that can make you richer.

At least have the balls to admit you're just thieves rather than hiding behind this self-indulgent justice crap that accounts for nothing. Cowards the lot of them.

I dont care how much most people on the escapist hate sony, this shit is getting rediculous...

 

[schmoke]

why do they want to make millions of sony users go without their ps3s?
it malicious and just downright unjustified.

 

[Iwata]

These people disgust me, they really do...

One bit of advice, Lulzwhatever: grow the fuck up.

 

[windlenot]

... 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.

And the same for me. I also find it annoying hearing other fanboys continually badmouth the PS3 fanbase.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Yep, hackers have successfully turned the entire gaming population of the planet against them. What a bunch of fucktards.

Or at least a decent-sized portion of gamers against them.

By the way, I'm quoting you to tell you I slapped my monitor in a vain attempt to kill your avatar.

Thanks. Thanks a lot. -_-

I've been suspecting for several weeks now that we're living in a cyberpunk future. This seriously seems like something out of Shadowrun or a William Gibson story. There's no way in hell these hackers are motivated, patient, and focused enough to sustain this campaign. This has to be funded by some other corporate entity.

I personally think these people think they are doing everybody a favor, but they are doing nobody a favor, not even themselves. They are just annoying a company that provides a service for millions of people because they think it makes them cool. Looking at the names of both the group and the operation, I'd say they were like eleven-years old.

I'd agree with you there. It seems like they missed the Anonymous bandwagon and decided to stir up shit because somebody else did before em. It's stupid and they just get hard ons for wasting everybody's time. Or at least that's how I see it.

 

[Cenequus]

forget about Sony,they should go after EA

I doubt they aren't trying to hack into Microsoft/Nintendo/EA/Activision just that for some reason Sony seems to have the shittiest protection. While Anon's group seemed more profesional(whatever that means in this context) this guys look like kids with a troyan bot.

It seems Sony invested all into their hard DRM instead of server protection. Remember that program they were using on DVDs to shadow install you spyware on PC?

That's... Kinda weird to think of. So, you're proposing the idea of a Microsoft funded campaign to destroy Sony through hired hacking mercenaries? Or at least that's how I see it. Could work, I guess. And maybe Microsoft is a little too obvious of the bad guy here, but that's just for the idea's sake.

 

[TheBadGamer]

I just have one question. Why why why why WHY?! WHY???!!! It's getting ridicules WHAT DO THEY GAIN from hacking Sony anymore? Please, someone tell me WHY?!!!

Yeah, that's the only thing that makes sense to me. I mean, i don't know if it was Microsoft, per se, but someone has to be driving these guys. Hackers aren't exactly known for their attention spans.

 

[Marudas]

Just sad. I hope they fail miserably, get found and locked up, lest other idiots begin to think its a good idea to assault any company they don't like. Its unfortunate anyone can come to the conclusion that this is a good idea.

Yeah, I can't imagine them sticking around for too long... But then again, I'm just speculating all of this from my point of view here. I haven't had too much experience with hackers.

 

[zidine100]

i hate to say this but why are they announcing this before they meet there objective, isn't that somewhat counterproductive?

 

[danirax]

I wonder what sony did to piss them off so much....

 

[Versuvius]

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.

BP didnt. The guys who they contracted to build the rigs did. Its like blaming you if a contractor installed a new boiler, which blew up.

 

[staika]

I guess it's that time of year again, once summer starts the little bastards have nothing to do so the best they can come up with is "dude lets hack sony for the lulz" it could be something else but this is the best I can come up with.

 

[Redd the Sock]

Sadly there isn't much to do here. These sound like the little twerp we all knew that liked trouble for trouble's own sake that took any action against them (even ignoring them) as encouragement.
