Anonymous decided to punish Sony for Geohot

The notorious pursuit of the Geohot hacker by Sony corporation is condemned by many - not only Geohot's colleagues, but also some companies, ordinary citizens, and of course, the group Anonymous. Let me remind you that Geohot, before putting all their work in the open access, contacted Sony and offered to help free of charge in patching the “holes” in the PS3 game console software, vulnerabilities that allowed launching arbitrary software (of course, for many, first of all - "pirates" of games). But Sony did not pay attention to the mere mortal. However, after his achievements became known and accessible, Sony began the prosecution of our craftsman.

By the way, the court took the side of Sony, and it may well be that the final court decision will be made in favor of the corporation. It is worth noting that Sony has launched an investigation into other specialists involved in this case. In general, the case is overgrown with new details, accomplices, and Sony, apparently, is going to punish everyone, although it is not entirely clear why.

The Anonymous group, in response to the commencement of actions against the corporation and some of its services. Anonymous has already posted an appeal to Sony, which says that the corporation is no longer acting in the interests of its own customers, but in its own (what's the news, right?).



Anonymus decided to carry out an indicative punitive action "anti-Sony", which will consist in conducting DDoS-attacks against various services of the company, including the main website of Sony.com, Playstation.com, Sony online service. The attack has already shown itself to the full - Sony.com worked in the evening and at night with failures, very significant, now everything seems to be in order. Playstation.com servers were in the evening.
