I never believed it was the actual group Anonymous, but I know a few did, and a lot believed it was a small number of people of the group Anon acting without the support of the rest.

 

But stealing user's personal data? That seems very out of character for a group that stopped their DDOS attacks on the basis that the Damage to Sony:Damage to Consumers ratio was too low.

when sony said "external interference" I thought maybe they were trying to do what people around here were saying they were going to do which was make psn prices to 0... Does Sony know for a fact that this isnt the case?

i remember them saying something along the line of "the strongest attack is yet to come"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

i am sure that was before the PSN was down.

but the thing is, that everyone always claims that anon is a group without any structure or leadership. that means they can't even know themselves if they did it or not.

Everyone is wrong.

If they did it, they'd jump to admitting it. It doesn't make any sense to deny if it were them.

if 1 or 2 members of Anonymous did it then, Anonymous did it.
