It appears that Anonymous have trouble in their ranks – not that they had ranks to begin with, in fact that’s the problem. The following has been posted on a hacking site:
‘We regret to inform you today that our network has been compromised by a former IRC-operator and fellow helper named “Ryan”. He decided that he didn’t like the leaderless command structure that AnonOps Network Admins use. So he organised a coup d’etat, with his “friends” at skidsr.us . Using the networks service bot “Zalgo” he scavenged the IP’s and passwords of all the network servers (including the hub) and then systematically aimed denial of service attacks at them.’
Sony was targeted by a DOS attack and now Anonymous’ own members have used the same tools to bring down their IRC network.
‘We are profoundly sorry for this drama, and we can’t give you a an estimate on when service will resume normally,’ said
SonyAnonymous.
The Law Of Karma:`For every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.’ A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things.’
More info can be found on thinq. We advise our readers to stay away from Anon’s sites, especially if they are compromised.

Made you smile? I’m over the moon. Maybe there’s a ‘good’ flavour of hacker out there…
John Malcolm
Not really. Remember that there’s no honour amongst thieves…
GTRsannin

Oh I see it was a former helper who did it. I just saw that they got hacked and jumped right in!

Spat out a bit of drink at the Sony strike-though
Obviously Anonymous never watched My Name Is Earl else they’d have realised this would happen.

This happens a lot, a whole group broke off and tried to ID everyone. The group gives you a sense of power, which is addictive. Eventually people corrupt.
gideon1451
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
