As mentioned previously a lot of thoughts about the recent ‘maintenance work’ on the PSN has been blamed on Anonymous, it seems our thoughts were indeed on the right track. Although opinions vary between pointing the blame on Hackers or Sony, it appears Sony are now blaming hackers as well. It seems that even Sony are now aware of what is going on and how serious it truly is, with the recent down time of the PlayStation Network, Team Sony are losing fans left, right and centre.
We can’t be 100% sure that it’s definitely anonymous behind the attacks, as a recent statement from them has distanced them from the blame. Sony is sure that they have been attacked though, so are we to believe yet another group are out to get Sony? How possible could it be? Another hacker group would definitely make the situation much worse for gamers and the PSN.
Patrick Seybold, the Communications Director from Sony has said the following, “An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th.”
This is the information we have used to believe hackers are responsible, however to counteract this, hacking group Anonymous has stated “While it could be the case that other Anons have acted by themselves, AnonOps are not related to this incident and takes no responsiblity for it.”
It could be another hacking group, maybe a lie on either Sony’s part or Anonymous’. Who knows?
Let me know your thoughts.
