I suspect that if the feds ever catch anyone in this anon group they will be treated like terrorists and have greatly diminished rights. (didn't they catch one already though?)

Political freedom can only be preceded by economic freedom which is preceded by monetary freedom.

They didn't do it at all. And what a horribly titled article this is because it implies they did do it but for reasons other than profit. Internet journalism is usually this pathetic so it is no surprise.

The hackers who are actually in anonymous are so good that they could find more clever ways to profit from their hacking. I also believe that they would target corrupt corporate fat cats for this type of theft instead of the average PSN user.

Agreed on both. And I'm not really a friend of Anon, as imho their kind of "organization" and their tools on hand are couterproductive to any good cause. I simply can't imagine that an uncontrolled self-righteous mob can cause more good than damage, wanted or unwanted.

There was a quote on here last night that indicated these vulnerabilities were discussed on open forums, on some sony site. If true it's seems Sony was aware of this, they simply didn't think it was important enough to fix and here we are.

Going back to one of my earlier posts, Sony simply doesn't see this area as important enough to devote resources to improving PSN and all of Sony's online features. If SOE it any indication to their dedication to online functionality I think you can see what I'm talking about. Picture SOE...but for the PS3. That is what PSN is approximately and it's run just as poorly.

I don't think they did it, I believe Sony is just distracting people by using them as a quick scapegoat. I mean, Sony has now been subpoenaed by the NJ state and all their refusal to answer congress tells me they have something to hide, like blatant incompetence in handling data.

To be honest, rumors of an inside job are circulating around the industry.
