Leave the gamers alone hackers and move on to better targets like walmart.

I think whatever measures Sony have taken to protect the PSN itself will more than likely be enough to stop this bunch. They would be crazy to have not completely upgraded thier security in all fields.

Fucking no lifers...

Certainly hope they fail! Like Blitz said, get a life!

I hope so as well, do well sony dont let it happen again

walmart is just a joke. and it won't bother me if they mess with walmart so yeah walmart

Fucking doubt it these losers have turned on each other to save there own asses.

Why the gaming media still insisting on giving those guys spotlight

LEAVE SONY ALONE ...LOEAVE IT ALONE :@ OR ILL SMASH UR HEDZ IN

If they do, then they are the worst enemies a gamer could have.

Yeah right. You're "really" on our side ¬¬'

enough is enough. you made your point and gamers didn't benefit the first time around. put that brain to good use. better yet hack the Illuminati.

I'd imagine after this fiasco Sony has added online banking level security to the servers.

stop tempting fate...do not make up these stupid articles again...post something positive from now on, we've been hijacked long enough by these vandals. It's just not cool or anything, anymore.

Hackers > Sony. I'm pretty sure that is well established by now.

bah why not hack activision and comletley ruin them i mean they tick all the boxes those greedy $%&*

this should be one time NOOOO! one should get disagrees unless they are a DAMN hacker themself.

Didn't they have an internal attack on themselves today? One of their former members unleashed a similar attack on their own work.

Either way, it's up to them to make a conscious decision, whether they want to attack a company, or the people. By attacking the community, it negates their argument against Sony. If they had a real problem, they should have taken it up with Consumer Affairs.

They've done enough damage and there going through a civil war at the moment. I hope they just leave us alone.

Never underestimate the determination of people who have ABSOLUTELY nothing better to do. Someone will try it again, of course. I just hope Sony can detect them earlier next time.

The only question I have is whether or not the keys Geohot put online definitely had something to do with the hackers getting in. If so, that should shut up all the people who said Sony shouldn't have sued him.

there is going to be some serious fuking raids in these guys' basements if they decide to do this again

Its a free-world im sure if they see an oppritunity they will take it again. But everyone knows what will happen

An all out war will happen Gamers+Sony vs Anonymous
Both sides may win too.

@ ps3fanboy
thats for damn sure i'll be one of them.

I'd be quite happy if the hackers got the death penalty.

:)

Hopefully they will choke to death on there twinkie whilst trying to hack PSN. Or maybe a rat (that is living in there room, attracted to all the twinkie wrappers & crumbs), a big ass rat,......a big fat ass rat,..... a big fat ass nasty ass rat will nibble one of his/her toes off whilst they are trying to hack into new psn, & even though they visit Docs & get tetnus shot.....it fails to stop this new disease & said hacker slowly mutates into a half human, half rat form, & is fat & nasty & smelly, never has showers, never has social interaction, lives off any old leftovers or garbage lying round, dwells in there underground cave at granny's house.........Actually, this sounds like those hackers to a tea, except they do not have the redeeming quality of being mixed with the looks of the far superior looking rat.

Stop making senseless Articles about them for a start. They get a rise from there notirity. Again another exsample of a website looking hits. There a pack of good for nothing idiots looking the adtention they did'nt get as children. I ain't got no time for them.

aren't they having internal problems or something?

I am gonna shoot some anon piece of crap.

The problem is Anon's name.

They do have supporters. Some of us used to be those people. But I can commit a crime and say I did it under the anonymous umbrella.

The real anonymous needs to make themselves an official recognized entity under a different name, with a clear understanding of rules, membership and leadership.

They need to separate themselves from the criminals, remove the masks, yes the masks this isnt a movie, its cute and yes you can still gain support and ddos in protest without a mask and be in your legal right.

Without all that, their name is going to get blamed for just about every cybercrime known to the world in the next 2 years and they will be punished and made examples of. And all for because some ahat committed a crime in the anon name, he/they could do that because the anon leaderless cell thing is stupid and only impressive in the movies.

I don't trust people I know, what makes them think i trust some schmuck in a mask?

Que death threatz from internet tough guys.

Let's hope Sony's upped the security a little.

If Anonymous has nothing better to do why don't they hack the oil company's and lower the price of gas around the world.

Why encourage it by highlighting it time and time again. Poor article.

They will hunt them down till there dead!

Time to troll N4G

To all the people who support Anons group. Go screw yourselves

LIKE IF ANONYMOUS DID HACKED THE PSN. AND I SAY FUCK THEM STAY OFF THE PSN YOU LIL BTCHS

Yup, they will attack once again. If Sony's security fails again, people r for sure gonna lose their trust in Sony.

They must keep it up. At some point - bang - caught. End of the line...

Hopefully this is all blown over and whomever the hackers are Anon or otherwise will feel they have done enough and allow Sony to move forward.

Now that said, I would suspect with E3 around the corner if they were to try and do something it would around then.

Regardless, I also would think that this time around Sony would be ready for anything and any attempt would be turned back.

Lets just hope we don't even need to go down that road.

I will now hate Guy Fawkes forever.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
