A splinter group from ‘Anonymous’, known as ‘Sony Recon’ are trying to discover information on Sony employees. The group is gathering the personal information of ‘useful targets’ including Robert S. Wiesenthal, a group executive at Sony Corp as well as the Judge and legal team in the current Geohot case. Sony Recon founder ‘Randomtask’ posted ‘Sony, the judge and Sony’s lawyers are all valid targets.’
The group are suggesting numerous uses for the information including creating personal adverts for ‘erotic services’ on Craigslist and spamming the addresses with hundreds of free UPS boxes. They also suggest the following:
STD Postcards – send one of these e-postcards notifying the target that one of their previous sexual partners has a STD. Makes for an uncomfortable wait for them. Alternatively call an AIDS hotline and ask them to anonymously tell the target they could have HIV, that’s a 6 month wait until the test comes back.
They also seem to be targeting the children of Sony employees, ‘No one found ANY info on Stringers kids?’ asks one member.
Since the postings on the Sony Recon channel went public, PS3 Hacker ’Kakarotoks’ has tweeted:
No attacks on people and no plans to, ONLY *recon*, gathering information that is already publicly available, in the hopes of finding something incriminating to help in the lawsuit. Anonymous is against violence or threatening/attacking people. He says nothing illegal is being done, and news sites are reporting the information wrong.
Hopefully he is correct and Sony Recon will back down.

Ya know I didnt really have a opinion of them one way or another, but I think I just got one.

Just wondering what your opinion of sony is for trying to railroad/bankrupt somebody for accesing their own property.

Well im no legal expert in fact when it comes this kind of stuff you can say I know next to nothing on the laws. I also know from reading on the forums that people spin both sides in order to make them a bigger thing then what they probably are. Funny enough the site that posted what I underlined has since changed the title and said that line is a isolated case with no endorosements from the leaders of the leaderless group. Still that means at least one person with some know how is targeting kids, or in the very list would like too. That is something that should never happen and according to wiki its not the first time a kid has been targeted by them or a group linked to them.
Anyways, Got off subject there some. Find what I read on these boards the big issues with Sony is he released the how to and some codes. Im not for what Geohot did, but im also not for how Sony has be handleing it. Example getting donatoin money information and the like when really it is not there buisness. Both sides are being ..........

They targetted that other kid because he was promoting censorship. Anon HATES censorship.
And who knows, Stringer's kids could be 18 , so while they're still his children, they may be adults themselves. If they are actually kids (under 18 years of age), then I'm not so sure most of Anon would think of targetting them.
Yes, re-read the source, there was an update.
Update: After further research into this it seems we need to point out a little more strongly that the comment concerning “Stringer’s kids” was an isolated comment and has not been endorsed by any of the leadership of either Anonymous or SonyRecon (such that they are). The headline has been altered to reflect this.
