Right, as if that is a fair comparison. Perhaps if it were compared to a government crackdown, sure, but since this is about scriptkiddies, no.randomrob said:First they came for the communists,redmarine said:Well, since I don't own any Sony products, go ahead.
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Applicable here methinks?
It's the same principle, If you don't stand up against people who are being wronged, no-one will stand up when you are wronged.redmarine said:(snip)

They're real hackers, as proven by their...well...hacking exploits. They've even made it on the news a couple of times.Atmos Duality said:Sounds like a lot of bluffing to me.
Real hackers do not announce their targets or the time...But stupid kids might.

Though this recent intrusion is less "Hacktivist" and more direct malevolence.
I suppose we should expect this shit to get out of hand quickly.

hope they get caught soon this is all getting boring
LulzSec isn't a hacktivist group. Their intention is...well...to watch the world burn, basically. They aren't in it for any cause, much less free speech.lostlambda said:are the people who hack sony just trying to make us hate sony because if its them thats knocking the PSN and their market down for weeks on end just to prove a point then I'm throwing my support in for sony these guys are just jerks who cant see that their hack are distorying any chance they have with the common man they seam to fight for

Er...the 'hacker crackers' who hacked Sony also hacked the FBI associate whose entire purpose is cyber security. Just saying.airrazor7 said:I'm guessing these hacker crackers haven't noticed that the FBI and a few government organizations from other countries have gotten involved in this mess with Sony. Either that or they're arrogant enough to think that they can continue their foul deeds and remain elusive to all of the organizations that are now closely monitoring the company.
