Hacker Group: "This is the beginning of the end for Sony", promises more hacks soon

Okay, FUCK you hackers. Hacking into Sony and taking away tons of personal data is absolutely bull. You could've easily delivered the message of their weak security in a way that doesn't punish the customers nearly as much.
And to threaten Sony (Read: Sony's customers) again is fucking garbage. Anyone who partakes in these hacks is a twat.

Dear hackers,
You have no point and no support, and pissing about with the business of large companies like that is an illegal action that will effectively destroy your life once you've been found. You WILL be found and punished. Your computers will be taken away and you will both owe money and time in prison for your actions. What you are doing to Sony is likely insured against and will not actually affect them in the long run.
Let me spell it out to you: You are wrong and they are in the right.
And as long as you keep 'fighting', you only bury yourself deeper. The one who is losing is the idiot who is sticking his head out for the law to ensnare. Companies play the long game and Sony has been playing for a LONG TIME. Every time you attack, it's another "Hi there! I am dumb and making it easier to be found!". Have fun with that. I'll see you in jail. Oh wait. I won't, because I'm not a fucking moron.

Well, we'll know by tomorrow if they're serious or not, and just how far they make it.
Reading the torture ideas from some of the people here scare me, though. Like, really bad. I LOVE YOU, PEOPLE! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!
Anywho...who the hell tweets something like that? That's like typing 'OH EM GEE, MY BOSS IS SO FAT AND UGLY AND BALD AND STUPID! LIKE SRS!" on your facebook with your boss friended.
Edit: Apparently this hacker group took PBS down...like, it's down right now.

I don't like Sony, but must they bring them down this way?
Also, some people need to calm down. They're dicks, but wishing torture and death upon them? Come on.

Lol. I watched two sets of videos about hacking the Wii & PS3 (and incedentally a lot of other consoles.)loc978 said:
They firstly pointed out that pretty much all console hacks except the PS2 were done for the purposes of running homebrew software and/or linux.
(The PS2 having been hacked explicitly for piracy.)
The only console NOT hacked was the PS3, which changed almost instantly the moment Linux support was removed.
They do point out that piracy is a side effect of these hacks, but that's a different issue.
The main thing they were discussing was what console security was actually like:
The Wii had moderate security, but some badly implemented security functions meant it was useless, and hackers can do anything they like with one, essentially. (Gamecube backwards compatibility was also an inherent security flaw because of the lack of security supported by the gamecube. And you can't retroactively add security without breaking gamecube support)
The PS3 looked on the surface like it would have the strongest security of any console... But, as it turns out, it's only strong in theory, because again, some fundamental security stuff wasn't actually implemented properly.
(And that doesn't even begin to cover PSN security, which relied on the idea that the PS3 couldn't be cracked.)
In both the case of the Wii & PS3, the eventual hacks that were developed allowed such low-level system access that there was no possible way of patching the vulnerability.
Then there's microsoft.
Which actually created strong security, AND implemented it properly. As a result, while the Xbox 360 has been hacked at least twice, and these hacks allowed a fairly large degree of access to the hardware, the security setup was still strong enough that Microsoft could quickly patch out the holes the hackers were using, rendering the hacks useless, and any hacker back where they started from once the patch was implemented.
In other words, Microsoft actually knows what it's doing and while there were a few flaws, they weren't at a low enough level to be a permanent hole. Meanwhile Nintendo & Sony both implemented security systems that look good on paper, but implemented them with fatal flaws in them that mean they're unfixable short of recalling all the hardware and software ever made for the respective consoles.
I'm sure the Xbox and xbox live get hacked every so often. But the difference is, Microsoft didn't botch their security, and can generally fix whatever exploits the hackers were using.
I agree! I'd rather sit in the park and play chess with old-guys. At least I can pretend I'm Bobby Fischer.00slash00 said:
Oh well, I kinda dislike the PS brand (mostly use my PS3 console as a media server these days and for exclusives) anyways, so fire away hackers. If sony does fall I look forward to the next generation, only two consoles with different target audiences, I can already smell the rainbow.
Quick question, if anyone bothers to read the third page of this thread.
Why are they doing this? Is there a reason, or "just because they can"?
I can't imagine Sony C.E.O. being a bully and taking lunch money from all of the hackers when they were young and Howard being with the big guys who smoke behind the gym. Seriously, what the hell?

To be clear I would use it on other things but this too. After all they are guilty of attempted identity theft.Elamdri said:
