This is highly unlikely, but we should at least see what they're planning before we judge.

Does that title say "more bigger"? It should be "much bigger". It also says the attack "wouldn't" hurt members. It should say 'won't" hurt members.

what fools.. Sony are ready now they have alot more people watching the servers for any unusual activitys and there security is just alot better in general now...and letting them know before hand isnt very smart

Ugh im so sick of hackers......bitches, all of them.

"more bigger"? What a hell is that?

ha! more bigger. What are these second graders?

The grammar may be poor, but that may merely be a artifact of translation. The author may not be fluent, and speak another language entirely. Remember "Won't" is not a typical contraction, and if my memory serves me correctly it was not officially recognized as a real world until quite recently. Speaking to much and more. I can see where any translation software could view them as interchangeable. So I wouldn't write this off. Pun purely intentional. As the work of a moron or idiot. Incapable of doing real harm.

Sony security is nothing less then laughable. This company has been breached twenty times this year. That isn't even including all the denial of service attacks. Sony really is a paper tiger when it comes to security. So can we cut all of the shit please. The hackers have nothing to be afraid of, and are probably going to continue to be successful. Sony basically had no security. It will take longer then a couple months for them to actually get good at security. So the moral of the story is that Sony probably cannot do much to stop hacking at the moment, and any successful hacker will get away with their crime. The preponderance of evidence supports this supposition.

Their gaming network was not rebuilt so much as it was patched. So while the initial vulnerability has been fixed. It doesn't mean that there aren't a lot more vulnerabilities, and based on the content of their manifesto it sounds to be more like a end around attack. I suggest others read that again, because they aren't just proclaiming a attack to take place in the future, but that at least one attack has taken place. They are claiming to have confidential files that they probably intend to share. They make it all sound pretty damning. Which means they think people will be outraged when they read them.

This all reads like they are intending a multifaceted approach. Like they have some parts, but they want to build up bulk so they can do a big dump. Other groups that have attacked Sony have done the same. It is clearly a form of media manipulation. One small attack could go ignored, but announcing two or three at the same time. Creates the impression that it is far bigger then it is.

On the plus side they are claiming that consumers will not be collateral in these attacks. Not that there was much meat left on that bone anyway. I am also not buying into this nonsense that an attack on Sony is a attack on the consumers. You might have been ignorant the first time, but nobody is a innocent babe in the woods at this time. The first attack proved that Sony didn't practice basic security, and all the subsequent attacks have done a real good job of highlighting that the problem is systemic.

Those who still have a PS3 have made the conscious decision to stay on a boat that has had twenty leaks in what amounts to short order. You can blame the guys drilling holes in the hull, but that doesn't exactly justify why you are staying on a ship that is sinking, or why you are wasting time complaining. By all means play on a console that is hack fodder, but just be honest with yourself. Sony hacking doesn't seem to be going away. So either you are cool with that or you aren't.

Agreed. It doesn't affect the customers in any way. Unless they want to actually use the products they've spent money on or something stupid like that. Go, hackers! Save us from ourselves!
