Anonymous issues new PSN video, denies action

@49
I think trophy info is saved on the HD of the PS3 as it syncs to your acct when going online so I don’t think it’s going to get wiped

@48 You know it’s an extremization to point out that anonymous and its action can be described as (cyber)terrorism and anyone caught in this case may be prosecuted as such.

@52 That has nothing to do with what I said, or replied to.

This is so boring now. Someone leak new MGS5 or GTA5 news, or something/anything.

Brenna’s back on tonight. There’s be new features, the Bulletcast, etc, tomorrow morning.

Actually, that’s not true. She gets an extra day for being Australian. Johnny and I will be working again in the morning, though.

Yeah, Anzac day & Easter Monday today so they’re treating tomorrow as a public holiday instead, although it isn’t.

I’m happy to defend my position while this thread remains active.

I’m not opposed to VG247 covering this story, nor do I have any problem with views different to my own. What bothers me is the volume and tone of the coverage of these self-righteous crooks and the failure to provide any comment either in defence of gamers or in opposition to the acts of the group. Some have pointed out that this site is just covering the news. But it also, when it wants to, offers an editorial view on a given subject; the only one I’ve seen so far on this matter is a semi-attack on the company involved and an inference that it was wrong to defend its products and services so brought this all on its self and better sort it out or else. No criticism of hacking, or piracy, or cheating, or personal data theft. No criticism of Anonymous (those staunch defenders of that Jew-hating nutjob Assange). No criticism of a few hundred people punishing tens of millions and bringing a company and its services to its knees – and all perfectly targetted to disrupt the release of Portal 2 and Steam’s integration with PSN.

Anonymous are not fighting for freedom of speech – if they were, I’d support them. If you think they are fighting for freedom of speech, then, I’m afraid to say, you are either stupid or about twelve years old. What they are fighting for is the right to do what they want without the scrutiny of anyone – including the law – while they go about their activities. Indeed, Assange and Anonymous are perfect bedfellows: both think that the rules apply to everyone but them and they have appointed themselves police, prosecution, judge, jury and executioner and arbiters of all that is right and wrong. They are, in many ways, those very fascists they claim to oppose so much (cf. the Communists).

If Pat would rather criticise Sony than criticise Anonymous, then that is his right. It’s his site; his rules. But because he does, I choose to ‘vote with my feet’ so to speak and, on matter of principle, no longer visit in future.

Incidentally, Fawkes was indeed a ruthless terrorist. So was Nelson Mandela. And if the actions or policies of groups like Anonymous amuse you, or even find your approval, then I hope it’s your credit card or bank account next and not mine.

Get lost.

Oh my lord children, Anon didn’t have anything to do with this crap. It’s being caused by a 3rd party hacked system that allows the hacker to used fake card numbers on the network because it parades itself as a dev unit PS3 and they don’t check the cards for those units.

Short version, some ass clowns were buying free stuff with fake numbers and now Sony has to patch it without locking out devs.

Mystery solved. No 4chan wackers, no stolen info, just a couple of ass clowns finding away to abuse the PSN for free crap.

@61 – It’s still unclear why they took the entire network down, if Rebug is the reason. Apparently blocking it is as simple as issuing a patch.

Maybe it’s to remove the exploit entirely.

I’ve just done a piece on it, as it does seem the most likely reason at the moment, but there are aspects of it that don’t make sense, really. If a few guys downloading some stuff from the PS Store is the reason they took the entire network down globally for a week, then they’re certainly being “thorough”.

@61 Care to withdraw that comment?

Hackers are crooks, thieves and thugs. Show me one example of hackers doing good work instead of selfish or illegal acts. It’s time everyone stopped looking romantically at these 21st century criminals. This is just a taste of the future of cybercrime, and some people are going to have to strap on a pair and stand up for law-abiding people.

Freedom of speech my ass. The CFW tools were created for one purpose only: theft and sabotage by common thieves and criminals.

Time to cut off the oxygen of publicity for Anonymous, Geohot et al.

there is a rumor
