My understanding was that the chat log was actually old stuff re-posted (at least from discussion on a security related list I read).

So one of their crew was arrested and they released psn source code ?
That doesn't sound to good for sony. Does this mean we can see a rival psn made by the home brew comunity ?

Good lord !
One percentage of CitiGroup credit card info hacked:

Also since there are NetFlix users here...

If an attacker has local file access to your phone then they theoretically can do whatever they want anyway - install a rogue app that logs all keystrokes for instance. Once again, engadget is apparently scare mongering (presumably in a sleazy attempt to get some clicks).

Saw over at Dailytech just now that Sony's fishing for more anal abuse by the hacking "community" (if one may call it as such) by taunting Lulzsec and calling them liars...
Not sure who over there at Sony thought that would be a good idea. Haven't they learned their fucking lesson already? Don't go poking and prodding the hornet's nest for no reason! Also, who's going to care what Sony PR says at this point, it's not as if they can explain away their massive bollixing of customer records anyhow so why can't they just keep their yaps shut and wait until all this has gone away, hm?
They really must be masochists over there or something, I swear...
EDIT: Fixed my bad link...

The lulz is going all around, it is really just a question of time before they are some of them get caught.
I don´t even understand why they take the risk right now with the RSA breach. RSA was hacked and has to potentially exchange 40 million tokens, a breach that is way more serious than the leaked personal info from PSN etc. I can´t imagine anything else than all the authorities being on a full scale man hunt after hackers they have to prove that they can protect something else than just physical objects.

Depends on whether they can compromise your browser or other network apps.
They seems pretty good since they took down the "unhackable" site offered by a security firm (but refused the prize, likely for fear of exposing their identity and contact).
No, that was me screwing up my copypasta.
Yeah, generally things don't lulzt forever... Of course, if these guys belong to some non-north american/european nation then it might be more or less impossible to actually catch and prosecute them as long as authorities in that country don't have any particular reason to go after them, so as long as they don't hax their own nest so to speak they may be relatively safe...
Was that really them though? I thought that was some unknown party who performed that hack.
Anyway, there's been A LOT of high profile hackings lately, either it's just coincidence or the bad guys are really starting to step up their game. The positive side of this is we'll see more emphasis on security from...well, everyone, really, from here on out. Microsoft is sure to be looking into this heavily for example, maybe even Apple, goshdurnit!
Nope i think it was "Hacked by Chinese", what i meant was that when high profie hacks like PSN and RSA is in the public mind the "law" has to react. Until these guys are caught and thrown into jail "i" don´t consider the web "safe".
And these guys are harmless, they brag about what they do but in reality do little harm. Personal information stolen might be important for us as individuals, but in the bigger perspective it isn´t. Military attacks and stuff like that is really serious. But what about those that shut up and just carry on with it. Stealing information and selling it, breaking systems and not telling. If i wanted to take down a politician today i would hack his account and post something about sucking someone´s t**s
With the number of blatant attacks that have happened over the last six months I think there are going to be quite a large number of honey pots out there.
They may sound childish but they should be very good.
I consider the recent RSA SecureID breach a much more serious incident. Wonder who's behind it. It seems that hackers are trying to top each other.
