ANON has to be kidding! they really aren't on Lulzsec's level...Even though both organizations suck because they waste their computer skills on hacking.

Don't worry ninja will come out of the shadows and kick more evil A$$ with their jujitsu

Yeah, I specifically requested that we do not give these hackers any more attention by approving these stories but here is another one. Please approve them when actual attacks happen or these people get caught. Otherwise don't post any hacker disbaanding, passing the torch or group forming articles please

You guys don't understand.. These are men with an idea.
It's not about them or the organization at all.. It's about the idea.
Because ideas can't die while men can. Ideas will live on and another organization will probably pick up from where Anonymous leaves

Anyone else think they are acting like the stereotypical high schooler lol. The ones that don't really do anything, but somehow figure out a homework problem (usually in an extra curriculum course like computers) and then suddenly they think they are gods. Even though they can't explain to the teacher how they did it or the reason behind it, so they start coming up with BS on everything. Before long the teacher realizes the kid is just an idiot that got by because he copied someone else and changed one thing.

Now transition that to this group that got a hold of a key to unlock a PS3 for them and pretend they are able to exploit it again even though they dont have the new key. Sony being the teacher realizing they just need to lock up the keys better.

Fuck.
Off.
@disagrees - Oh yeah... N4G. I forget sometimes that people are pro-jackass here. My bad.

*Yawn* Is this thing still going? Hackers seemed to be an interesting news piece for awhile but now it's been done to death. Even Lulsec has disbanded, no doubt having run out of lulz.

hmmm. This post needs more ninjas.

I love hackers that A.)Break the law then B.)Get Caught then C.) act like them breaking the law is okay and shouldnt be in trouble for it then D.) other hackers doing stuff in the name of idiot justice.

Hackers need too make sense. If you don't make sense then your not doing it right

and hackers you guys don't make any sense.

You have to be pretty stupid to think you guys finally figured out the perfect crime and are uncatchable.

Kids today are ridiculous history has a great way of constatly repeating itself.

Worst part is there giving a bad name to the Guy Forkes mask and V for Vendetta fans everywhere

This is what happens when, like Ryan Cleary, you have Asperger's Syndrome. You sit indoors all day, don't engage in any social activites and just hack things on the internet to try and make your life feel less shitty.

Hasn't really worked for Ryan so much.

you guys are old news

from where they left? so you are gonna keep up the 'growing up' aspect!!!!!? They were never up to the task and never grew up so awesome news IF true

How about you don't?

oh look annoying is back

lol how quickly they are forgotten

these idiot don't seem to know that the feds already know where they live at. keep on hacking your way to a felony.

unless anon is someone else i rather them do it. why you might ask. well even thought i think hacking is a childs game. they said in previous post pretty much. they would have never attacked the sony consumers. they are defending them. now i hope that mean even anon is taking over where lulsec left off means that they wont attack the consumers.

we hope. but well see.

Pathetic retards!

So instead of attacking companies protected by laws, they've moved on to attacking governments protected by laws AND people with guns.

I approve of this.

sorry anon but you guys jumped the shark. everyones already moved on

I wonder if anon scours message boards and read all the responses. Like the attention is what fuels them. like daddy didnt pay enough attention.

i vote that any news article that reports what these fuckbags are saying should be banned.
seriously, all it does is assist these losers in their epeen stroking.

the worst thing you can do to them, as far as they're concerned, is ignore them.

stop giving them the false impression that their sad little lives actually matter.

faceplam.jpg

im so sick of this.

maybe if we just stop promoting them via articles and move on, they will just go away.

Soo exactly who are they fighting for? cuz everyone pretty much hates them.

Go steal intelligence from the taliban instead of pulling this type of crap off.

"Anonymous" has never and will never do anything. "Anonymous" is just some neck beard who lives in his moms basement and lurks /b/ all day. The only thing we should expect is for Anon to take credit for what other people do. Which is exactly what Lulzsec did.

These fools (LulzSec and Anon) act like they are helping out the world but how does hacking Gaming servers and leaking out peoples private info do that? The answer is it doesnt. They all need to get a life outside of their repective computer desks.

havent seen their name in a few days its been nice. this is more of a "hey dont forget about us, we exist." yeah no one cares.

i wish these idiots would go away.

If I See One He's Gonna Be Picking Himself Off The Floor F'n With My Gametime F'n Circlejerkers

BOOOOOORING!!!

It's the same people.

no1curr

I wish people on N4G would stop posting stories about these arse holes hacking, they are killing gaming as we know it.

any hacking story should be banned on N4G, giving them less exposure.

I'll try to look at the positive side of all this...It just shows how vulnerable we all really are. Hopefully all of this leads to major improvements in data security for the everyday web user.

Nerdy little arseholes.

These hackers need to get the lube ready ;) enjoy prison bawbags

Is there any distinction between the two any more?

They cant hack if there is nothing to hack. Everyone- post your name,address, and credit card info.

wut

why cant they hack the banks and give everyone 1 million dollars

Ooooooooooh there like a t-rex! By that I mean at first people think ur a big scary meat eater (or hacker what ever) but we now find out you are just savaging what lulzsec left (much like a t-rex)

"We're picking up from where LulzSec left off"

yeah going to prison hopefully.

WHOOO?!

I don't even.....

Oh boy, anonymous.... so sad how they try so hard to be relevant.

Who cares about this anymore?

A little message to Annonymous
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Anybody knows how Lulz got revealed? These will too. Trust me, an IP has to come from an address, physically attatched to a NIC/Router.

No matter how obscure, there is a way to hack that too.

can't these people just fuk off already? you have had your 15 minutes, move on

Who cares.

I tired of hearing about these neckbeard losers.

Is this considered news?

Are these the ones that brought sony down and cost them billions of dollars?

Still calling these guys script kiddies?

I think they're on a different level.

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.
