SONY Answers to US House of Representatives May 4, 2011

[originalShorai]

So they posted the 'update' about reporting to the House, but can anyone find any information about that? All I can find are sites commenting on the update. I'm starting to wonder if Sony is being honest about any of this. Afterall it seems strange that only days after the Westboro Baptist Church(of Crazies) said that they were receiving threats from Anonymous and the Koch brothers get hacked, suddenly Sony is claiming an unverifiable attack immediately following the GeoHotz lawsuit...

[Essa698]

Actually Enigma, I think that Anonymous launched a project on their private IRC for the victims of the mass firing. I think that maybe they worked together somehow and exchanged information about their code and Anonymous intelligence performed the exploit. Or maybe the victims of the firing just used Anonymous to be cool...

@Essa698 hummm, interesting theory...i never thought about it?..i like this one a lot though..very much possible...so u think Anonymous is still sour about the whole geohotz court case? could that be why they did this?..

[Essa698]

@AkumaRyu27 Maybe, I haven't looked at the geohotz case but I assume its about the firing.

[AkumaRyu27]

@Essa698 no, i have a video, check it out, if u have time sir, he broke into the PS3 n made custom firm ware...Sony took him to court, long story short anonymous intervened for this kid...which was wrong, they had no right...geohotz is a kid with nothing better to do

[Essa698]

@AkumaRyu27 Wow really? Just cause he modded his system. That's sad, I yearn for an open source gaming console...

[AkumaRyu27]

@Essa698 well yes, but were he screwed up was he showed every1 how to do it online, a complete video on his site n utube, sony stepped in n got all the IPA from ever1...then anonymous got involved

[Essa698]

@AkumaRyu27 Good for them, the DDoSers were fools if they didn't use security precautions. I don't even know why they would use their botnets / zombies without hopping. (Controlling computer that controls computer that controls computer, ect, ect.)

[originalShorai]

@AkumaRyu27 After being blown off by Sony when he told them about the hack beforehand too. Poor kid was just trying to make a buck as a network security guy.

rofl @ m&m in the background... im eating them right now

[AkumaRyu27]

@Devilsean hahahha, i wanted a guest...lmfao...ill keep him i think, unless u guys think i should loose him?

[Devilsean]

@AkumaRyu27 Nah keep him, pretty badass in my opinion lolol.

[AkumaRyu27]

I agree Buzzy if they r in fact guilty

[deathjoker666]

frame job huh? well why would they want to place blame on anon for. something doesn't add up here. somebody had to know anon hacked them before word got out about the mess. it seems more and more odd news with each passing minute with sony.

[deathjoker666]

@deathjoker666 the mess i mean psn. soe could be invovlved as well seeing their hacks happened around the same time as the psn but sony didn't tell the truth until a day or 2 ago.

[AkumaRyu27]

@deathjoker666 I agree, but im not so sure anon. is the one to blame now? not positive yet, its hard playing detective with the web as my only lead, cuz its out dated...it could be false statements...ugh..idk...i just want the PSN back up..n all this behind..damn i need a smoke..to much stress...sigh... :(

[ThePsychicDude]

Anonymous isn't one guy. i reckon its a breakaway faction of the group.

[AkumaRyu27]

@ThePsychicDude hummm, yeah anonymous is huge, n powerful, but i dont know if it was them? wht do u think? i know they have the power..sure...but would they do this to us? not to mention they have declined being a part of this?..wht do u think?
