*ren* PSN Down, Customer Info Compromised
- Thread starter Cheezdoodles
- Start date
Surely hackers are running wild the last few weeks
Codemaster was also attacked. FBI and their counterparts in other countries must be getting busy. ^_^
Hopefully companies don't bow down to hackers. There is social/net order to maintain.
Japan store may not be up yet I think. HK store should be up already.
Sometimes I wonder if the social contract can survive the internet.
Since NATO has declared that Anonymous are a threat to military intelligence and America has taken the hard line stance in declaring cyber attacks are to be classed as attacks against its sovereignty, whilst in Britain they have labelled them as very 'naughty'...
Does this mean that, in order to maintain the social contract and show a zero tolerance, we will start seeing people hanging in the Hague or on death row in America?

I suppose in Britain those very naughty guys should get a spanking then.
Well not working for me
My mistake. Saw a GAF post today that HK store is up now. Japan is still down I think.
And another site is cracked

This leaves those that wouldn´t trust Sony with it´s personal data down with 2 more that cant be trusted. Running out of games to play.

Fortunately Microsoft XBox Live services haven't been hacked. Plenty of games on the table to be played there.
The lulz canon was aimed at Minecraft (servers went down) and EVE Online (they took the servers down themselves) last night. Just pure destruction instead of hacking.
The worst part of this is that the hardliners may end up asking for laws that requires the ISP´s to both provide and save information that makes it much easier to catch hackers like that. I don´t think they know how much they are putting the "freedom" of the internet under fire.
That's one of the things that gets me about this. What's the point? Makes me wonder what would happen if a group of genuine hackers were waiting for these guys at some place they haven't hit yet (like Xbox Live), then backtracked and tore them to pieces.
I just don't get the point of any of it. Anonymous said it pretty clearly.. a lot of them are gamers themselves, they have no reason to go after gamers like this. And it's not about the companies, either.. if you're angry at a company, you hit them at the corporate level, you don't go after their customers. All that does is get a whole lot of people angry at you directly, not at the company.
It´s pure vandalism, like smashing windows, burning cars etc, and the lulz group is really not about anything else. Prison awaits them.
