Anonymous hacking Sony's PSN?

[Paper exe]

That must have been my evil eye doing. Only a day before the incident I wanted to sign my credit card data in PSN rather than use one of those annoying PSN cards but Sony wouldn't accept it. They accept neighboring states but not the one I am in.

I also think my evil eye was responsible for the Japanese nuclear crisis. The cancer the nuclear pollution cause is the same cancer I had. Coincident? I don't think so.

I cannot help it, I have no control on my evil eye! The world need to accept that there are some people in the world that must be pleased otherwise they'll face dangerous outcomes.

I've sent an email to Charles Xavier. We'll sort out your evil powers soon. If someone called Max Eisenhardt contacts you, hang up. He's not a nice man.

Well it isn't just Sony. If you read the article Star Trek is run and maintained by Atari and they took the money aswell. Of course all automatic payments should be stopped by I can imagine that's a major hassle.

In the end people are going to be getting free months down the line and most likely a refund aswell so it'll work out in the end.

Hell no. I may probably know 3/4 of the story since its been liberated from the comics, but I aint seen the movie yet. That threads gonna have spoilers. Like someone saying I SAW IT TODAY THE ENDING WAS BLAHBLAH! because when people see something the first thing they want to mention is the ending.

What does Star Trek Online have to do with Sony or PSN? I read the article and still can't figure it out.

How is that related to Anonymous hacking the PSN?

But I approve of it, regardless.

Yes it is unrelated, but you can imagine killing Bin Laden as killing the hackers or Sony, whoever you like.

Meh, that's been in a game before already.

Oh for fucks sakes.

A Sony spokesperson has confirmed that the company's PlayStation Network will be down and out until at least May 31st.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Sony's Shigenori Yoshida said that the company was uncertain when services would be fully functional but that a 'plan to restart the services' on May 31st was still in place.
The Japanese electronics giant is currently working around the clock to repair its shonky security which was breached by hackers on April 20th. Even if the planned date isn't shifted once again, as it has been several times already, the entire network will have been broken for 41 days come May 31st.
The latest theory is that a rogue splinter cell from many-headed hacking hydra Anonymous was responsible for the action which led to Sony pulling the plug, but there are about as many theories out there as there are hacked accounts, which currently stand close to the 100 million mark.
The entire staff here at thinq_ can't remember a single occasion of any network service being taken down for more than a month for any reason, and we have a fair few years between us.
Sony likes to break records but we can see the company's directors being less than delirious once this hits the pages of the Guinness Book.

Are they just being incompetent idiots, or was the hack really that severe?

They're saving it for E3.
