PlayStation Network Hackers Arrested

lol... these guys are probably innocent and their poorly protected server was probably used as a tool in the attack! :D
Anyways, even if you arrest three... there are millions more out there to carry on the work.
Sony needs to take a bow here.
 
That's silly. Anonymous is already too entrenched to stop. I bet you they going to hack the Spanish police force's website now ;). If the world only took notice of these guys, say 3 years ago, then it might have been stopped, but now, there's just more and more people joining in and there's sweet ***-all anyone can do about it...
 
Let's wait and see how long it takes for the next time the Sony site is hacked!!
 
Hang the low life scum, lower than earthworm slime, outcasts of the modern world
 
Instead of starting a new thread I will just add to this one.

German PS3 Hacker Lashes Out at Sony Over €1 Million Lawsuit

Alexander Egorenkov, better known as by his Graf_chokolo handle, is under fire once again by Sony and its legal team. Egorenkov, whose home was raided under court order, is now being sued for what he did in retaliation to Sony’s seizure. He released all his tools for hacking the PS3 known collectively as the Hypervisor Bible, and the proverbial ****storm commenced as Sony slapped him with a large lawsuit.

Here’s what he had to say on the matter unedited, verbatim, and without corrections:

“The SONY’s laywer asked me why I’m doing what I’m doing, because of my hatred for SONY? He cannot understand why I’m doing it, because he is paid for what he does. I’m not. I don’t hold a grudge against SONY even now Hatred clouds your mind, keeps you from more important things. I have a better use for my mind and knowledge.

“So, SONY you failed again, you took my equipment but my mind is still free and you canot (sic) control it. You failed again. They are just tools, I can get new ones and will continue my HV reversing and bringing back PS3 Linux which you took from us. If you want me to stop then you should just kill me because I cannot live without programming, HV and Linux kernel hacking You know who am I and where I live, so come and get me!!!”

and so the inaugural Balls of Steel award has to go to this guy. It seems unlikely that Sony will be able to get money out of Egorenkov, but more likely that Sony is trying to scare other hackers into submission.

Children and their silly temper tantrums. Nerd rage is probably the most pathetic thing on earth, even more pathetic are those that follow the raging nerd.

The website of Spain's national police force has been briefly knocked offline by hacker collective Anonymous.

The attack on the site was carried out in retaliation for the arrest of three Spanish men the police claimed were 'core' members of the group.

The hackers managed to keep www.policia.es offline for about an hour from 2130 GMT on 12 June.

Spanish authorities would not confirm that Anonymous was behind the attack, saying only that the site was offline.

However, a statement was posted on a website linked to Anonymous, claimed responsibility for the hack, which it called #OpPolicia.

The group said it had used a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) which bombards a target website with so much data that it becomes overwhelmed.

A spokesman for the Spanish police said the cause of the outage had not yet been established.

"A website can collapse if too many people try to access it at once. I cannot confirm the link with the Anonymous group," said the spokesman.

In its statement, Anonymous said the DDoS attack was a "direct response to the Friday arrests of three individuals alleged to be associated with acts of cyber civil disobedience attributed to Anonymous."

The group said DDoS attacks were a legitimate form of peaceful protest. Some of its members are thought to have carried out similar attacks on Turkish government websites to protest against net censorship.

Anonymous also denied that the men arrested were part of the "core" of Spanish members of the group.

"They did not arrest any core group, because we don't have a core group," said Anonymous in its statement.
