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.
