So they might have done it,right? So does the anonymous group have a leader? Are they all just annoymous and no one can lead?

Financial Times? It's like all these famous publications are getting trolled by 4chan at the same time.

Hackers Say Anonymous Likely Responsible For Sony Attacks

Another member said, "So it’s Anon’s work. But you can’t blame the whole collective for what one or two guys do."

i bet i can, if i try really hard!

 

We are LEGION!

Except these two, they are on their own!



“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.”

Why don't you take your own advice Mr. 4500 posts.

Also for someone who spends so much time on the computer, you could at least have basic education: Macs are hardware, linux is an operating system and the polar opposite on the OS spectrum of OSX.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

The thread title is misleading. A couple members doing their own shit on the side does not implicate the "group" as it were. It sure as hell looks bad on them admittedly. Still to blame them is mildly ridiculous. It is like blaming the police force because an off duty cop beats the snot out of someone. Yeah they need to take corrective action, but no you can't really hold it against the police force.

For those interested, there was apparently a second layer to the anonymous business proper. Or at least that is what it seems as there was a file left on the server. Either they were leaving a calling card case they are really dumb (possible) or it was a simple experiment to really fuck people over. My favortie theory was pushing out fake firmware updates to hijack the PS3s.

Well their attack caused me a lot more misfortune than the removal of Other OS so thanks a lot Anonymous.

Remember , remember that you suck.

Nah, I don't think it's at all the same. Anonymous can't both take collective credit for anything its adherents do (say, attacks on Iran) and deny collective blame for anything they do (i.e., this). Their amorphous nature is a double edged sword, one I hope they'll find firmly lodged in their collective anus sooner rather than later.

For what it's worth, the thread title was my take on just how stupid these silly word games are.

"Collective" and "Anonymous" do not belong in the same sentence.

If anyone claims to do anything collective regarding anonymous, they're trying to troll you and the media. Apparently they're succeeding too...

I understand what you're saying, but these word games are just utter nonsense. Would it be more accurate to refer to them as SonyOps from now on? But wait a tick! Anyone who says they're SonyOps is SonyOps! So we run into the same problem as when we refer to the broader Anonymous.
