Hackers ‘Planning New Attack This Weekend’

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.

  1. Yep, real clever. It’s makes a lot of sense to protest the breach with another breach.

    These hackers are brilliant! Sony should hire them(not)!

  2. Thats my friend is 1 awesome comment

  3. Awesome. lol

  4. This just goes to show, what a bunch of assholes the hackers really are (if the reports are true)

  5. Haha, stupid morons. Any reason to attack Sony will do, right?
    Luckily this sounds more like gibberish talk by some children than a real threat.

    • Indeed. How reliable should we consider this “observer” (as mentioned in the source article) and how genuine are the messages he observed? Can this be verified or made plausible? Because if not, this might as well be a hoax.. If it’s true though, this could mean very bad news of course :(

  6. lol :)

  7. I would hope that real hackers have more intelligence than this.

  8. Utter utter TWUNTS! Through this entire saga nothing has realy angered me, but this!!!!! I say we band together and give them a good old fashioned beatdown!

    • +1 for the word Twunt. I shall use this from now on

  9. This is clearly a small group of asshats at work; round them up, and whip them with teatowels soaked in TCP for 30 days and 30 nights.

    • then t bag them untill the go insane and froth at the mouth

  10. Then attack when the security company is working… instantly found, then strung up for the first attack. Some people generally are bell ends
