Internet Relay Chat channels used by hackers have seen posts detailing a third attack on Sony, planned for this weekend. The hackers plan to publish any information they can access including customer names, credit card numbers and addresses. They claim they already have access to some of Sony’s servers.
Here’s the really good bit, this is utter genius, it really is. The reason for the new hack? ‘retaliation for Sony’s handling of the PlayStation Network breach.’ Yes, hackers are pissed off the PSN is down so have decided to hack it a bit more.
That’s really going to help, well done.

So Sony will just delay the re-launch until after the weekend causing more people to be peeved.
These people seriously need to get a life.

Perhaps the mummies should tell them to get out of their respective bedrooms, get dressed and go get a job… ‘idle hands are the Devil’s tools’ as the saying goes.

isnt it “the devil makes work for idle hands”? :P
Forrest_01
It’s both (you can also use ‘idle hands are the Devil’s playthings’). They mean the same thing.

A normal day in a hackers life:
Get up at 2 pm.
Watch some weird porn.
Fall asleep for another 3 hours.
Hack PSN.
Try to play Portal 2 in coop through PSN.
Realize PSN is down due to an external intrusion.
Get pissed off at Sony.
Announce retaliation by hacking PSN as soon as it’s back up.
Jerk off to more porn.
Fall asleep.
Repeat.

You forgot the bit where mommy comes in to their room with a bowl of cereal, picks up their clothes and walks out.
Nice to see that you didn’t mistakenly put in there a point where they have a wash. That would have been so naive.

Don’t forget pizza! They all need pizza :)

Ugh. What a bunch of losers. Wish they would get bored of this already and move on. Yeah Sonys a big nasty company and yeah they could do things better but seriously. No-ones forcing you to use their products. Just let the rest of us enjoy our products, go unleash all your butthurt on something constructive. Like making a better company! I’m sure you could. *cough*

This is ridiculous. Hope it doesn’t happen.

lol, hackers are hacking because the hackers were mistreated because they hacked? lol

Sony should send the US Seals after them… If they can find bin laden then some low life hackers hiding in their mothers’ basements should be easy…

I think I laughed at this more than I should have xD

This is pathetic.
Is this even going to be possible with the new security measures in place though? Might be a bit of a dim question, but i thought that Sony were tightening things up to prevent against exactly this kind of thing??

I hate hackers! Have they nothing better to do!?

It’s not that they have nothing better to do, it’s just that their tiny, twisted, minds can conceive of nothing better to do, so they destroy instead.

That is true psychopaths live in their own little worlds

They have a million things better to do than hacking but, like so many other people, they enjoy living off the proceeds of others.
