The hackers request is probably some more Vita games.

Kind of odd that Sony Pictures is the one getting targeted- seriously, of all the divisions, that isn't the one I expect to draw ire- and the group calls itself 'GOP.' Extra odd is that they specifically hashtagged it, which screams 'TWEET ABOUT US, GUYS!'

....even though this likely IS legit, not gonna lie, half-expecting this to end up having something to do with the Watch Dogs movie Ubisoft and Sony Pictures were partnering up to do back in 2013.

Haha, this would be a fucking genious way to announce a movie. Obviously dont leave us hanging to long on the idea that its a real hack though, just long enough to create some talk about it.

Nice grammar there... stupid hackers



Not that I'm saying that Drake_Tolu is stupid or anything, his grammar has improved a lot in the last months, but.....

 

I'm betting Drake_Tolu is the hacker.

This could be final nail in the coffin for Sony if legit if it contains customer data...

I love all the wannabe tech wizards in this thread. You realize Boeing, the CIA, and Governments have all been hacked, right? What? You think Sony has better safety protocols than Governments and military contractors? Hell, even security firms have been hacked. Go back to gaming, I assume you know 'something' about that.

No doubt in my mind theres someone at top level thats being paid to run down the company and force a buy out. There is no way in hell they never learned from their mistakes in 2011 right? PSN has been the same poor service with the same old Linux servers since 2008 and they are now forcing people to pay for it when its free on PS3 and Vita. Every time I point this out to numerous news sites I get labeled a "troll" or "fanboy".


You probably get labeled that because it's hard to know when a company changes servers. So do you have any proof that they are running old linux servers from 2008?

Final Fantasy VII HD. They want FFVII HD on PS4. Yeah, I know that threats should be made towards SE but still, they had to go to the big boss. Ever since www and internet, you can't stop hackers. Do companies think that they're unstoppable? These hackers have the same resources if not more than Sony has whether that be intellectual or physical. I'd be scared if I were Sony. Do they even know what they want!? How do they meet a request if they don't know what the hackers want!? Too much TV drama. Scandal went off too soon for these hackers so they've made their own show. See what happens Scandal producers!
