For gods sake... these people are fucking idiots.
Why would they want to do that? WHY!? What is the over-all purpose of anything they do?
And LULZSEC? SOWNAGE? They dont even sound proffessional. If Sony gets hacked, i'd much rather see that it was an attack by, i dont know, "the system ghosts", in what they called "Retribution". Not that they were attacked by LULZSEC, in what they call SOWNAGE.
At least then i get the image of some sort of shadowy group who specialise in stealing information, not just a bunch a skinny nerds, working in some sort of basement "headquarters" with what i imagine would be a near limitless supply of monster energy drink or mountain dew, stopping every so often to hack a match in call of duty.
E-theft, because taking stuff in person might hurt...
EDIT:
You know what? I'M NOT DONE RANTING!
What is it that they intend to take from sony? Money? I really dont think they are gunna need it. I'm just going to assume theyre nerds, because who else is going to know how, or WANT to hack sony? What the hell does a nerd even need money for? If they're up for hacking a billion dollar company, i really doubt that they've never heard of "torrenting" before.
...ok, i think i'm alright now... phew.

What other group of people flatly reject and attack dissenting opinions? Dictators, that's who. A bit anti-message for a group supposedly dedicated to freedom of information.Kopikatsu said:
I think that hackers in general need to take a step back and think about the distinction between 'can' and 'should.'
With regard to Sony, if you can't win the online arms race then there is a simple way to protect valuable data; simply put it on a server that is only accessible by physically being there.
As a ps3 owner and former customer of LikSang. It's going to take a lot more than that to make me feel sorry for Sony. They did kind of throw down the gauntlet and I don't see how they thought it would prompt anything other than this.v3nge said:
On the other hand, I'm glad I haven't signed back in to PSN yet. I'll wait and see how this plays out.
Actually they pissed me off more by hacking PBS; Newshour is my main news feed on twitter. However, AP is proving to be okay... not too trashy.
The hackers could easily get everyone on their side by just giving everybody 3 free games from a bigger list of titles or by just making the store think that everyone has paid for everything making all dlc free for everybody. But these guys seem more Boiler Room than Fight Club. More Jack the Ripper than Robin Hood.
-.- Don't even think you can use Nyan Cat and it'll get me to like hackers.
Seriously though this whole hacking thing is starting to annoy me though and I'm a pretty patient person.

...It might just be me, but the attack on PBS comes off as rather hypocritical for a pro free-speech group.
To be asses.windlenot said:
Really, I'm wondering if this is real. After all, a group claiming to be hacking into Sony that says the reason why no one has noticed is because they're just that l33t... well, it could also be because they haven't done a damn thing and are making it all up.
Let's not give more media to these idiots, eh? They're like the bullies that they are; they don't have any real value so they make it up with big talk to attract attention. Kill the attention and we'll see how that goes.
I'm going to have to bang my head against a wall 500 times for hacking PBS, because that doesn't make sense. Hacking for free speech, a place that has no political corruption, and runs on goverment funds and donations. Wow...
Sony, this is getting fucking old an annoying, and is making me lose faith in humanity fast.

"Yes! It is the beginning of the end for the mega corporation Sony, and now we will do the most horiffic deed of all: say Tupac is still alive! It is pure evil! Muahahahaha!!!!"
I don't know about you guys, but a precedent, where a company in the electronic entertainment sector actually pays the price for years of continued money grabbing douchebaggery sounds a lot like something the industry (the customer part of it, anyway) could use.
Um... seriously hackers? I mean Sony is just like 1 company.
Targeting the police anti-hacker division or courts would seem a lot more logical.
Any chance this is sponsored by a Sony rival?

I don't know whether to rage at the fact they're being arseholes or to pity them for thinking that anyone still cares enough about their cause to support them. If they go ahead with it then their heads will, at least figuratively, roll.
