Whats New?
Sony has now said it found a file named “Anonymous” on one of its servers with the words “We are Legion” attached to it.
“In summary, we told the subcommittee that in dealing with this cyber attack we followed four key principles: Act with care and caution, provide relevant information to the public when it has been verified, take responsibility for our obligations to our customers, and Work with law enforcement authorities,” said Seybold. “We also informed the subcommittee of the following: Sony has been the victim of a very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack. “We discovered that the intruders had planted a file on one of our Sony Online Entertainment servers named ‘Anonymous’ with the words “We are Legion.”
“We are working around the clock to have some PlayStation Network services restored and we’ll be providing specific details shortly. We hope this update is helpful to you, and we will continue to keep you posted as we work to restore our network and provide you with both the entertainment and the security you deserve.”
Hacker group Anonymous had previously stated it had nothing to do with the PSN breach, at least as a group effort. However, the firm was responsible for bringing PSN down for part of a day in early April, apparently using DDOS attacks.
It was reported earlier today that a third security firm had been employed by Sony to aid in the PSN hacking investigation – an investigation that now involves US Homeland Security and the FBI.

I doubt it was anonymous, think about it, anonymous is after sony and not long after someone hacks psn.
It would be the perfect crime to hack sony, then frame anonymous.
Why?
Because Anonymous has been DDoSing sony.
