These guys don't have a "cause." They're just a bunch of losers with nothing better to do.

Funny that Microsoft's security was much easier to take down, contrary to what some claim. Also Sony seems to have implemented new security measures, which is also something we heard about after 2011, but this confirms it.


What part don't you understand, They DID NOT break Microsoft's or Sony's security. A DDoS is not a hack.

Who said i don't understand? I know the difference between DDOS and a hack. I'm saying they got Live down easier, like the article mentions, but you'd know that had you read it.

No security was taken down. A DDoS attack is not a hack. These suckers took advantage that millions of new customers were trying to log in at the same time on Christmas day. It's like the customers themselves did half the work for them.

Weird, I read (some of that) and not once was the words "We are dicks." ever mentioned... how odd.



Hmm, pie.

I just don't get how PSN is still having problems and XBL seems to be fine for the most part. Thought they stopped the attacks?

edit: nvm, xbl core services problems have reemergered

You stated Microsoft's security was much easier to take down. They DIDN'T take down microsoft's security.

If you ask me, these people are just seeking a lot of attention...
