...Is there any kind of conformation that this ACTUALLY HAPPENED other than some moron's Twitter account? Because, if my Twitter account is to believed, I just wrestled a lion on the moon.
Seriously. Until I get an official statement from Sony or pretty much ANYONE else, you can color me unimpressed, Fucksec.

OK, thanks! Why wasn't one of these linked in the original article?Kopikatsu said:
Perhaps it's just me being lazy and not Googling things, but I feel like an article as incomplete as this is just like saying "One time my cousin caught a fish that was as big as an airplane!" With just a Facebook status as proof.
There's no way Sony just continued using shitty security at this point. I think these hackers are just really good and are pissed off and think they are above the law.
They have to be stopped. Is every corporation going to have to please these people or have their customer's personal info and company secrets compromised?
It can't be too hard for the FBI to figure which websites or services they use and shut them down to investigate. Sure it would be inconvenient but what they're doing is already illegal AND inconvenient.

I actually did read your other thread and knew all about what LulzSec has done. They are an incredibly skilled group of individuals, I'm not about to suggest otherwise.Kopikatsu said:
That doesn't necessarily mean Sony is doing security right, though. They might be, I don't have the technical expertise or situational information necessary to say one way or the other.
All of that said, according to LulzSec's notice about the InfraGard hack, InfraGard didn't secure their shit nearly as well as they should have. Security professionals reusing passwords is a glaring sign of incompetence, not to mention the corruption displayed by InfraGard's leader.
I'm not saying Sony should have an Impenetrable Doom Fortress (I'd go with Dark Fortress, but I dunno the alt-code for umlaut'd a), just that they should display basic competence in the security realm, and it really seems like they have not.
so the goal here is to bring down a company, not just any company, but one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers and Japan's largest international Corporation, a nation that desperately needs international confidence in it's products, services and exports to maintain an economy so battered by the recent earthquake that it's still teetering on the edge of oblivion, not to mention the thousands employed by sony all over the world, the retailers who sell their products and the consumers that enjoy them and the thousands of developers who work with them, the actors, directors and film crews who work with sony pictures, the locations that benefit from having them make movies there, the manufacturers who make parts for sony. thanks LulzSuck, for screwing not only one "souless" corporation, but the millions of people who depend on them to survive, directly or indirectly, the struggling economy of japan, and the millions who will suffer the indignity of layoffs all because you pricks wanted a few laughs, and you have the gall to call sony selfish? Fuck you LulzSuck, kiss my nads, you greasy, socially inept attention whoring motherfuckers.
I think it's time to remember that Sony hacking happened partly as a result of their horrific treatment of that one hacker guy. It's not like they attacked Sony just for the lawls, or whatever.
I think this is more a case of people getting tired of old news than the attacks being unjustified (well, for illegal hacking's standards). I'm not saying they should continue, but please remember why Sony got attacked in the first place.

It's easier to find a Hacker than it is to stop a hacker and the fact is these guys are good at masking their trails.
Hacker task forces are designed to find hackers not to prevent hacking from being successful.
With that out of the way, GO LulzSec! I fucking hate Sony, and use nothing they make, other than a dvd-drive. If Sony learns their lesson about picking fights they can't win, or the Hackers get caught, it's all good and entertaining where I'm sitting.
My question is, will these guys take Gene Simmons down a peg or two. His website being hacked just ticked him off.

I don't know why Sony doesn't get it's act together. It's customers are sick and tired of being under attack by a group of computer geeks with nothing better to do, and eventually they will defect to buying products from other companies. A friend of mine had to cancel his credit cards after the initial attacks and he is uncertain as to whether he wants to buy any Sony products online again. I don't agree with what the hackers are doing at all, in fact, this is becoming extremely tiresome, so why doesn't Sony get off their asses to protect their investment? It just baffles me.
You know, guys, some of us are still sore about Betamax [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax].
Sony's super-dickery extends far deeper than how they've treated PSN members, or GeoHot or plenty of their other properties, and it's been made clear that the execs at Sony just don't learn.
Probably because, unless something bites their faces off, they just don't care.
The truth of the matter is, Sony's had it coming for a long time, and the sooner Sony becomes a name spoken of only in cautionary tales, the sooner we all get a better, brighter, more consumer-friendly company to take its place.
Sony needs to become that name we use to warn others about taking their customer base for granted. No, we need to patch out these bugs fast. We are not the next Sony.
For the betterment of the world, Sony needs to die.

Bottom line - as someone with experience actually using the Sony site in question here - you know, sticking to the topic - there really is nothing to chalk up to skill here.Kopikatsu said:
LulzSec is lulz. As in, lulz, sec [http://lmgtfy.com/?q=script+kiddie]
I just hope they can find a genuinely productive use for thier abilities in the future instead of just messing around all the time. maybe all this confidence building will amount to something. unfortunately, it probably won't, and they'll just end up crossing some line and getting themselves caught. all i see is wasted potential.
