Why can't these assholes just stop? This is fucking ridiculous. These people are about as bad as the Westboro dingbats. At the very least Westboro doesn't potentially steal people's money/identities.
Rumor: PSN Hackers Already Have Third Attack Ready to Go

Oh man -__- this just sucks like something horrible just died on my lap. I want access to the store to browse around (and use the store's vouchers you buy in game shops to buy things with. Wised up now).
I pray this doesn't happen to Xbox users. While some of them (sorta) deserve a little something for rubbing it in the faces of us PS3 users, even this is too cruel a punishment. Let's just hope that if this attack does occur (not that I'll be playing online due to uni exams) that some trackers track the bastards down and they get arrested ASAP. I don't know how good the FBI is (being British) but c'mon! Catch these guys already!

They are trolls... they do because they can and because it hurts.Sparrow said:
OT: I don't know about this attack. I imagine that with nobody knowing who actually did this then anyone could start a rumor and have it grow out of control so this could easily just be speculation. I'll have to see what happens.
I'm betting they're pulling the same bait-and-switch I'm assuming they did the first time
1) Make everyone monitor Sony like crazy
2) Target someone else (maybe Xbox this time or even the FBI?)
3) Sneak away while no one's looking
4) ??????
5) No profit, only PURE RAGE

Just want to say, most of the 360 people who are probably rubbing in the PS3 user faces, are getting back at them for rubbing the "free PSN" in our faces. Both sides are at fault but just want to point it out.YunikoYokai5 said:
Though thanks for saying you hope it doesn't happen to us, though it shouldn't have happen to you guys in the first place. (Though it's Sony fault for having faulty security systems)
This whole fiasco is like one big car accident - I don't wish harm on anyone and hope it never happens again - but so help me God I can't resist watching the chaos unfold as I pass by.
I didn't read most of this thread, but the fact that people don't know what's going on and can't be arsed to google it before posting in here is making me angry. Let me just quickly tell you why the hackers are doing this.
George Hotz (aka 'geohot'), hacker of iPhones and Playstation 3's, released codes online that would let PS3 users "jailbreak" their consoles; that is to say, it would allow them to run third-party programs on it. Sony didn't like this and eventually forced geohot to take the codes offline. A group, either Anonymous or otherwise, hacked Sony in defense of "free speech".
They aren't cyber-terrorists, really. For one, not one single use of fraudulent credit card use has been reported. No odd activities either. I think Sony is just getting what they deserve, really. And to all of you affected, Sony is giving you a crapload of free stuff anyway, so just relax already.

I'd hate for Sony to go through another attack. Seriously, this is getting a little out of hand. What did Sony ever do to these hackers?
It's okay, they're new security was to put condoms on the cords before they inserted them.harvz said:
In all seriousness though, imagine if this happened to Steam. This kinda thing could've happened to anyone because no system is unhackable unless you unplug the whole thing. WoW could've gone down, EVE online (especially EVE because if I remember right it's on just one server), Face of Mankind, or even World of Tanks.
Umm... They're going after people's credit card info and selling it to the highest bidder so if I had to guess I'd say MONEY $$$$$$ DOLLA DOLLA BILLS YO.Sparrow said:
Dear Hackers
Please leave Sony alone, you have caused them a great deal of issues already and please let them recover.

Why these criminals are still not in jail? FFS!!!
I wish I could find myself a hacker... And whack bastard's face with a large brick.

But I would burn 'em, kick 'em down "the Divide" and then hang 'em on a lampost!
I was rooting for the hackers in this fight, since I have nothing to loose and I like seeing Anon as all-powerful Internet gods that cannot be stopped.
Then I realized it wasn't Anon doing this.
So I give you this challenge, Anon, one that would make you into Goddamned superheroes: stop these hackers, whatever it takes.

True or not, this is starting to piss me off somewhat. I'm not huge on online gaming but I like the store and have begun using it on a regular basis now that a credit card is no longer required. I amazes me how people can be such utter dicks sometimes.
I'm not dependent on the thing, but I wouldn't mind having it back either...
