Given all the confusion surrounding Sony Corp, it's hard to find the evidence to differentiate fact from fiction. Thus far, about all that is clear is that hackers broke into two separate Sony databases -- the Qriocity/PlayStation Network (PSN) subscriber database and the Sony Online Entertainment subscriber database -- and took at least some details from records of as many as 101 million customers.

A letter representing the Anonymous hacking group claims the organization was not behind the PlayStation Network attack.

Even if the actual security breach was not condoned by Anonymous they may be partly responsible and if they don't change their plans on attacking Sony when it's online again history will attempt to repeat itself.

Anonymous has made statements form April 22 that revealed their next attack against Sony will be carried out when the PlayStation Network is
"Whether those who participated in the denial-of-services attacks were conspirators or whether they were simply duped into providing cover for a very clever thief, we may never know," Hirai continued. "In any case, those who participated in the denial-of-service attacks should understand that--whether they knew it or not--they were aiding in a well planned, well executed, large-scale theft that left not only Sony a victim, but also Sony's many customers around the world."

Whether or not Anonymous has members that act as a independent cell(s) within the group is not officially known . Although it is not unbelievable. There is actually evidence that suggest it is highly likely. Sony seems to believe that Anonymous has smaller cells within their group that act alone and for personal gains. Piggybacking on Anonymous and their DDoS attacks to breach when Sony is overwhelmed makes perfect sense.

With this information being relevant to the recent security breach many would hope Anonymous would consider stopping or atleast delaying attacks once Sony gets back online. Unfortunately, Anonymous doesn't seem prepared to sympathize, they ended a recent statement letter with a hint of its feelings about being cited in Sony's congressional statement.

"We do not forgive, even if others forgive our enemies for those things for which we are attacked. We do not forget, even if others fail to remember. We are legion, and will remain so no matter how many of our participants are raided by armed agents of a broken system. We are Anonymous. Expect us."

While one would hope that Sony would beef up its online security, it's not unbelievable that it could be breached again. If the promised attack proves authentic, Anonymous must question their motives and the result. Even if they are not intentionally involved as a group in the security breach they have to suspect that individuals using their name and cause could be responsible.

Either way it appears as if Sony will get a chance to test their new security with the DDoS attacks Anonymous promises. Whether or not we see another security breach is uncertain.

Truthfully we cant say they did/doing what a lot of people wanted, which was get revenge on SONY.

But maybe you should have been more clear and say you was gonna put them in the ground completely, you FU*KS

I was cool with you guys wanting to maybe shut them down for a couple days just to show them there is highly more skilled people out, its not like sony has the best of the best.

But damn now its just really Fing stupid.

Shut them down because they got everyones IP that visited Geohots site, really?

Grow some balls and man up!
