Well when Sony got hacked back in 2011, the hackers were actually fighting for the gamers. Unfortunately for the gamers, the only way they could do that was to take down PSN.

No..No..No, fighting for the Gamer's is going to court and fighting for regulation on security measures all companies must follow, if hackers show they can go past your security its one thing but to do so where it can cause undo harm not only to the corp. but also the people you 
"claim" you are fighting for is another thing.

Its pure Hubris, Arrogance to say hey this or that company are not protecting your data very well, but break into the data center because you can, if you are really trying to really help the Consumer you go to regulation Body Taking the law into your own hands is not only wrong, but breking in to something that does not belong to you than making off with the statement i was "doing it for the consumer" shows that they have a disreguard for property, imagine no computer's, no freaking cellphones or tv's or any d@mn electronics to Hack, where would the skill set put them?

if your going to help there is more prudent way's in doing so, but than Sony would not learn the lesson right?

No freaking digital security is never going to be enough! no ammount of money or manpower is going to stop tallented people that are trying to direct hack you to stop them if they can get past a security measure, but here is the thing if they can get past it, was it ever going to be good enough anyway?

or would that be Hubris to claim since i was the first to do it, i was only going to be the only one to figure it out.

it's one thing if you want to help its another to say you want to help but really Hinder claiming i did it to make a point. its sorta like you have the right to be an @ss hole, but do you have the be the entire @ss while you are at it?

I stopped reading after the first paragraph because you CLEARLY showed that you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA why Anonymous hacked Sony in the first place.  If you can tell me why they hacked them, I think you will understand the point that I was trying to make.  In case you didn't know, the hackers back in 2011 called themselves "Anonymous".  

Hacking into Sony to show how weak their security is does not help the consumer.  I completely agree with you.  Even though I got a PS3 before any of you guys on here, I still feel that those hackers, back in 2011, were justified in a way.  

No way was just t justified,....... That's why the ones caught went to prison

Would you be okay about buying a product and then having to AGREE with removing a feature that was there day one?  How about this:  If you FAILED to AGREE with removing this said feature, you will NO LONGER be able to play online.  How do you feel about that?

So to you that justifies stealing the credit card numbers of thousands of people? Yeah Becuase that makes sense. If any of what ya said was true they wouldn't stolen money from those people.

Sigh...they didn't steal any money from consumers.

Did you own a PS3 right when it came out?  I did.  Did you accept the new terms and agreement that Sony sent out explaining what they were removing?  I did.

For some reason, I dont think you were an early PS3 adpoter like I was... 



After threatening the American Airlines flight, the guy on twitter gave up his "real" name in Nevada. If I had to guess that's a rival's name, and they're trying to get the rival Swatted.

They absolutly did steal money from consumers. For some reason I think you have absolutly no idea what you are talking about. I had ps3 day one and I love Sony and guess what I just like a lot of people had my credit card info stolen and money stolen from me. Luckily I had Lifelock at the time that caught it but Sony made it right and gave me even more identity theft protection. So what if they got rid of backwards compatibility? I still have an original fat ps3 with it intact and I don't care If i can't play online with it. That can get gotten around by simply jail breaking it. You have absolutly no idea wtf you are talking about and your bs excsuse is BS reason for anyone to hack sony over. You are lying to yourself if you think it's true.

LMAO

You actually think that backwards compatibility is the feature that I am talking about?  Are you serous!?!  You sir, are the one that has NO CLUE on this issue.  .  I am talking about the original 60 gb PS3 having a feature removed from the device.  I am not talking about later SKU's not having backwards compatibility.

Also further confirmation you have no idea what you are talking about. Anonymous did not hack PSN in 2011, they denied it, it was not them and they were a scapegoat. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2011/may/05/anonymous-accuses-sony-hack-playstation-network
