Rumor: PSN Hackers Already Have Third Attack Ready to Go

[karloss01]

I really hope my Mortal Kombat pre-order codes and Kombat pass to expire (they don't that they do on the leaflet) because if they do i want a refund.

 

[Zudarkness]

Kinda makes me think that someone actually paid them to do this

Jezz who the hell hire these hackers. They're acting like terrorist almost.

No really who would of though that indrustral sabatoge ((however you spell it)) would actually exists in the gaming world.

Yep a whole new level to me

 

[CheckD3]

Anon, if you're reading this, please find them and turn them in. We want to play our games, we want to be able to go online on our PS3s, and do what we want. And these dipshits are ruining it for everyone

Not a bad idea but sadly, and famously, Anon is not your personal army.

I know, if they were my personal army I'd use them to get myself through college like it was nothing. Web classes + hack = win...at least I'd suppose.

I guess it's more of what I wish for. The same way one would wish for a million dollars or something. Only that's more likely to happen than Anon listening to a single nobody making a call for help

I kind of doubt it. The previous hacks weren't some sort of hactivism. They were thefts, heists, if you will. People trying to steal stuff don't announce it in IRC channels days ahead of time.

If they were just thefts, then they already have all the information they could possibly want; hacking Sony for a third time, especially when the risk is so much greater this time, would just make no sense.

If they do actually attack for a third time though, I think we can assume that it's personal. If it's personal, there's a good chance that they'll want to gloat about how much better they are than Sony, in which case announcing it in IRC channels makes perfect sense.

Would be sad(not that I empathy with the crackers)if they got caught over something like that.

I just want PSN to go back online so i can finally play Arcana Heart 3 =(.

 

[Atmos Duality]

The fear of such an attack could prove to be just as effective as an actual attack.
Huh, that could actually count as....nah. I won't even go there.

 

[Vanbael]

Bad news for the idiots, I'm ready for them. *Loads a rifle*
I don't care if they are going to publicize my address, my credit card number is changed. But I'm not going to put up with this shit.

I really wish that some vigilante hackers would track these bastards down. Hell, Anon would get my support if they get involved in the search. All they need to say is that they are doing it for the people, not Sony. The hackers are endangering the people more than Sony (which is a big corporation, which makes it hard to take down).

But anyways, the network is down and I'm going to play some good old Dragon Age (the first one). But I do hope Sony also is prepared for them, if they anticipated another attack then this can get interesting.

 

[rokkolpo]

Ah, the possible chaos. It feels quite nice for some inexplicable reason.

I know exactly what you mean.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

The fuck is with these hackers? What are they trying to prove, if anything?

 

[Weskerbot3000]

Round 3...FIGHT!!!!

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

*gets popcorn*

I Hope This is a false alarm.

Now where did I put that popco.I mean Fingers-crossed!

 

[rsvp42]

What would be the point now? Even if they could pull it off, what good would it do?

Is the right to hack/mod a PS3 really worth all this crap? Just buy a freaking PC, you parasites.

 

[SinisterGehe]

Brace for impact!

Man, these hackers are so clearly the good guys while Sony are so clearly the bad guys. I mean, who would support Sony in this situation? They're the greedy exploitative ones and they deserve this.

The sarcasm is strong in this one.

But tell me, who has been defending the hackers?

XBOX fanboys?
Yes... I went there...

But honestly, this is going to have some bad effects on enterateiment industry if this keeps going for much longer.

 

[Spookimitsu]

Though I'm not for hackers of this kind, but I will admit they will have huge balls and very good luck to do this and get away with it. That or Sony didn't really beef up their security beside putting a billy goat at the entrance and the FBI are to busy eating donuts to notice. Not like that can happen.

they don't have balls. They are just asshats, even more so if they think they are doing something for the greater good.

If they had ANY balls, they would be hacking Exxon or the IRS or something.

 

[Joa_Belgium]

If they really attempt this, they're just batshit insane. It's like breaking in a house that you previously broke into, which is now under surveillance by the police.

Seriously.

All I know, is that they will be royally screwed if they succeed in a new break-in. Sure, it will make Sony look really bad, but these guys will be in a world of hurt, once caught.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

This is like kicking a baby seal. Who are they trying to prove anything to?

 

[Fuselage]

I say stick it to the fuckers. Sony sucks. Disabling Netflix was the reason I sold my PS3 this week.

Because the loss of consumer credit card data and the inevitable layoffs will help everyone./sarcasm

 

[Dash-X]

They're either: really bold, really good, or really stupid. Pick one or two.

Another attack? If/when they catch these guys, they should probably officially kill them and just hire them for government work.

EDIT: That probably wouldn't work out too well, considering that they can't even keep an attack secret... IF the attack actually happens...

 

[binvjoh]

This is getting severly out of hand.

 

[Darzen]

*sigh* I have a feeling that this isn't going to end soon or with much closer.
