Think it's getting serious.

Anonymous has managed to attack/hacked Playstation Network and the Sony site.

It appears that hacking group Anonymous has stepped up its campaign against Sony, just a day after it successfully attacked and brought down PlayStation.com and Sony.com after claiming that what Sony is doing in their lawsuit against GeoHot is wrong.

The hacking group has apparently spawned a little team calling themselves "SonyRecon", according to PlayStation LifeStyle. Said team have begun finding out information about Sony employees, as this post, made by a member, shows:

"Ok I made a chan #sonyrecon for people to gather and contribute dox, and work towards a common goal of finding and information and detailing useful targets. Some one got the phone number of the head of the Sony company in #sonyrecon."

Sony's Group Executive of Sony Corporation has also been targeted, with his family history being released onto the Internet for public viewing -- which includes information such as his home address, education, marital status and whether or not he has children.

Also, one rather disturbing comment which was discovered saw an Anonymous member complaining “No one found ANY info on Stringer's kids?” Howard Stringer is the CEO of Sony Corporation.

SonyRecon's supposed founder and leader, "randomtask", told members that "Sony,the judge and Sony's lawyers are all valid targets."

It's also been reported that Sony's lawyers had their official website taken down also, although the site seems fine now.

This is so old /facepalm

No wai?! ...

lol getting outta hand too. now attacking employees family? Not cool. really? pullin innocent people into it now? attack the head of sony and im happy, not regular employees

Are you freakin serial???

Saw a statement on one of the other sites that Anon said it is not them attacking. See the article at You must login or register to view this content.

And yes, the message from this thread is old.

since these idiots have so much free time in their hands why don't do they do something productive? If this is true then I know many people will be very unhappy with the hacking community. Also if this is true then hacking has gone to a whole new level which isn't "hacking" anymore but more of personal attacks. I hope all of these "hackers" get what they deserve through whatever means needed by Sony because this is not cool.

Its a bunch of idiots who think they are on top of the world because they want to attack Sony while thousands of people in Japan have just gone through hell and back over the past few weeks. These people are what is wrong with the world and I pray that their pain in the future is at least 10x whatever pain the Japanese people have felt over the past month.

Go flame/troll me all you want. Itll only prove that you are like these scumbags too.
