I don't understand what it is they're trying to do here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't trying to bring Sony down, mean that:

1) hackers will be viewed even more as criminals.

2) Sony will be strengthening their defenses.

3) more people will get sympathy for Sony, supporting them even more.

So unless they're trying to bring increased focus to security in the IT industry, I don't really see how this is anything other than a complete overreaction, which will damage Sony a little in the short term at best, while possibly turning millions of consumers against the hacking community.

Basically. It's a losing strategy on par with al-Qaeda sending people to blow themselves up in a Baghdad market every day. Way to win hearts and minds, morons.

If they are so smart, why don't they start a company, make their own console with great games and take all of sony's customers away?

Yeah didn't think so, it's easier to destroy things.

Fat chance of that happening. Look at all the negative press SONY got during the hack, if it happens again then nobody would sympathise for them.

As much as I want people to sympathise for SONY there will always be fanboys and haters, even PS3 owners / fanboys were mad at SONY, being separated from their precious Call of Duty for a few weeks was a traumatic experience for them.

Or, SONY could give his address to the consumers, he would be lynched within a few hours.

The chance that something on that scale happens again seems pretty small to me though. Sony have learned their lesson and will be prepared for something like this, both in the technical sense and in the PR sense.

I do agree that it would be very bad for something like this to happen again, but Sony is doing everything in its power to prevent something like this from happening again (not that I know, but it's the only sensible solution for Sony, so I assume they're doing just that).

Not that the first attack and the PSN outage seems to have done anything to slow the PS3 down...
