Anonymous Didn't Do It: Sony Admits PS3 Owner Information on Risk

For ended a week at once, as individual appendage of our private or an additional returns from be successful or drill, the initial terminology away from home of their mouths are “is it back up yet?” Sony Playstation Network has been down since April 20, leading persons of us in a multi-gamer household to be frustrated and even angry.

At initial, we brain wave it might be us, as our DSL connection has “issues” with the wiring in our 120 day old organization. Once we realized it wasn't, however, I hopped on my laptop and did a little investigating, while the take it easy of the private played offline, or on the Xbox or Wii.

“Anonymous did it,” I reported to the others, and we all glanced on each one other, rolled our eyes a tad, and relaxed. Anonymous is renowned on behalf of taking down “targets” to facilitate take annoyed them on behalf of individual explanation or an additional, but has not been renowned to purloin data or treatment it on behalf of monetary purposes. For example too late as two days previously, Sony was still exposure to facilitate Anonymous had prepared it, and Anonymous themselves (through their website, AnonNews.Org) admits causing net outages earlier in the month. If Anonymous did it, it was probably safe to think our data was safe.

However, on April 22, someone who claims to talk on behalf of AnonOps, which serves as a semi-official leadership on behalf of Anonymous, confirmed on the Anon News Network to facilitate the organization is not in charge on behalf of this outage. Trying to acquire on the truth of whether Anonymous had everything to puzzle out with the outage, I place on my flame retardant “clean gear” and wandered through 4Chan and the remarks of AnonNews.Org on behalf of a split second (not recommended if you are with no trouble discomfited, disgusted, or bothered by randomosity). What I found is to facilitate, on slightest on the more “public” of their sites, Anonymous seems to be sincere. They didn't puzzle out it. They take honor in their own individual way. I believe them.


Last night, I noticed on CNN to facilitate Sony was admitting to facilitate 'data had been compromised', and maybe acknowledgment license in rank had been taken. My initial response was – are you kidding, irritating to blame this on Anonymous? They'll gorge you alive on behalf of making false accusations. Then the story widely spread and it became bring in to facilitate around other group was in charge on behalf of the outage.

So if Anonymous didn't puzzle out it, who did? And why did it take Sony a packed week to admit to facilitate acknowledgment license in rank possibly will take been compromised? PlayStation 3 owners are rightfully angry. We shell out on behalf of entertainment and we expect packed appreciate on behalf of our dollars, as well as reasonable precautions taken with our special data online. We must take been informed instantly to facilitate our special in rank was on hazard (the type of attack to facilitate Anonymous is renowned on behalf of, a DDOS attack, does not typically access special in rank. It simply overloads networks such to facilitate they can't code name the traffic on behalf of a point and are artificial to go home for the day down.)

This leaves us all pointing our fingers squarely on Sony and asking questions. What are you responsibility to recover our data and prevent outlook problems of this same nature? How will loyal users of the PlayStation net be compensated on behalf of this lengthy downtime? And at long last, don't you think you owe your customers, and even Anonymous, an request for forgiveness?
