In support of the Sony vs. Gehot court case that dominated headlines for the first three months of 2011, anonymous internet group Anonymous launched DDOS attacks against various Sony websites. The group then promised Sony that the worst was yet to come – a threat which caused many to assume that the group is behind the recent intrusion which many are calling the biggest internet security breach to date. Anonymous, however, has denied any responsibility for the incident.<\/p>\n
“I sure am glad I don’t have a PSN account about now,” said Hotz . “And, as a one-time victim of identity theft, I feel for everyone who’s data has been stolen. I’m not going to make cracks at Sony for flipping a s**t when their data is compromised, and not even having the decency to apologize when it’s your data that’s misappropriated.”<\/p>\n
“One of the things I was contemplating back in early January was a PSN alternative, a place for jailbroken consoles to download homebrew and game without messing up anyone else’s experience. Unfortunately events led me off of that path, but gamers, if I had succeeded you would have a place to game online with your PS3 right now. I’m one of the good guys. I used to play games online on PC, I hated cheaters then and I hate them now.”<\/p>\n
Geohot ends his latest rant with a message to the perpetrators of the recent security breach:<\/p>\n
“You are clearly talented and will have plenty of money (or a jail sentence and bankruptcy) coming to you in the future. Don’t be a d**k and sell people’s information. And I’d love to see a write up on how it all went down… lord knows we’ll never get that from Sony, noobs probably had the password set to ‘4’ or something. I mean, at least it was randomly generated.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
