Anonymous Issues New Threats Towards Sony

Earlier this year, the hacktivist group that goes by the name of Anonymous took credit for the dismantling of the PlayStation Network, Sony Online Entertainment, and the compromising of millions of user data stored on the aforementioned networks. With the introduction of SOPA, the group has once again vowed to take down the electronics giant.

Anonymous has posted a video to YouTube that declares that Sony is once again in the sights of the group, this time for backing the online piracy act.

It looks like we'll get to see if Sony's investment and added security precautions for the PlayStation Network will be able to stand the next test of the hacktivist group, but it's probably not wise to gamble with valuable passwords or credit card information. That means, it may be a good time to remove that information from your account if associated, even if just as a precautionary measure.

The Stop Online Piracy Act is a bill that gives the US government and copyright holders power to block websites from operating that infringe on copyrights of others. While its not a bad idea in practice, the vague wording of the bill has many online entities wondering whether if passed, they'll be able to operate under the new law.

Sad bunch of virgins sitting on their high tech computers who miss having their “15 minutes of fame”. Problem is these so called internet vigilantes think they are speaking for everyone but are just selfish douchebags that do it because they want to but need an excuse to do so. Get a real job, get drunk and use your pricks you sad sacks.
- Cool dude
  
  Look, do you even know what theyre fighting for? Theyre fighting for our freedom. With SOPA being applied, Governments can control what we see, hear and do. This means freedom GONE. No more of those silly youtube videos, No more free games from the net, no more freedom.
  
  With SOPA being applied, they could FULLY monitor out activities and even see our own very faces as we SKYPE with friends and family.
  
  People who think that Anonymous are just a bunch of losers. Do you even know what SOPA means?
  
  Their upcoming actions are not meaningless. Not this time. Not unlike last year.

  @cool dude

  Cool dude’s explanation:
  “Don’t you see, by stealing our account’s, invading our privacy & turning off our entertainment system there doing us a favour!”
  “By believing in their own selfish ideals, these egotistical f**ktards are acting for all of us by ruining our products.”… oh wait
  
  i know your a sony hater, but there is no way to put a positive spin on this. You sound terribley similar to the 9/11 terrorists…
hoppsy

Everything dutch said……..fucking horrible little virgins, hope they ger caught this time and punished to the full extent of the law

why sony? is their security easy to break? do they just not like them? sore at them for taking action against the ps3 hacking? Microsoft and Apple support internet censorship as well as everyone making money on the internet… why specifically sony?

  Odds are they’re gamers, most likely American and European, so may be xbox is their system of choice and why they choose to go after PS3 over Xbox.

Why they gotta fuck up my gaming? Lock them bitches up!

Not this sheet again, oh well gives me time to fully complete games
BIGRED15

Why do these fudge packers gotta louse up gaming for a selfish anarchist agenda. That’s all they do is promote digital anarchy. Frankly I don’t give a damn about their propositions. They just better learn that Sony has the lawyers and investigators. That makes them jailbait when they get caught. They should probably eff off if they have any wisdom at all because its only a matter of time…

Well, I just sold my playstation 3, so technically I really don’t care anymore, but get your filthy 40-year old ass out of your cellar, go to the local store and buy yourself a rope… or better: Get a job and dont hack stuff that is actually been made by people that have accomplished something in their life! Fu guys.. Jeez i hate fking hackers!
KLOWN PHACE

Guys don’t call them virgins, because I know how this group operates. They have one leader (fat black guy) and he controls all the skinny white minions. The leader really hates PS3, so he has been ordering his pale minions to attack sony’s network. He offered a reward for the first skinny shithead to hack and shutdown the network. He told his minions, that the gaylord with the fastest and successful attempt will get to deepthroat his fat hairy black dick. The minions are working overtime to get the job done because they all really like a nice black cock.
That is what I know about the Anonymous group. How do I know this you ask? Well, truth is, I AM THE LEADER…. MWAHAHAHAHA

Sony is just a big super power house company,you know the air force built the worlds 33rd largest super computer by connecting 1,760 ps3s lmao thats some hardcore shit right there
Lol

Lol Sony won’t stand a chance. These hacked information from Security Think Tank members, an organization who’s main purpose is to keep CC information secure since they are a security company. You think if they can hack them and the government, they won’t be able to hack Sony?

Just by the language they are using in this video they sound like teenagers. They were even quoting movies and video games.” we are legion” cmon man. And if they did do all that hacking in one day, show me some proof baby. I can make a youtube video and say i did the same thing, doesnt mean i actually did it. Show me some proof.
- Cool dude
  
  Theyre not teenagers but a professional group of “Hacktivists” around the world. As you can see on their “sign”. The person has no head but only a question mark. This also means that they operate without a leader. Making them a harder group to track and take down.
reality

You all just proved how worthless and stupid you are. Do any of you even realize what SOPA is and what it will do to the internet? Do you even realize that this very site, under SOPA, can be shut down? Do you read? Or is all you’re seeing is another Anonymous Sony hack just cuz? SOPA is nothing more than the government controlling the internet, Google gone, YouTube gone, the people who put up gameplay or reviews are now felons, that’s what SOPA is. Dumbshits.

  yea and if they didn’t attack the consumer then maybe they would have some support
