Well, for quite some time anonymous has been denying involvement in this matter. Now it seems that Sony has proof that they were indeed involved.
I know there is many users on here that is anti sony, because of the whole removal of the other OS issue. Claiming that sony took something away wich they sold with the original product.
However, i wonder how many of these users even used the other os feature, or how many even was aware of it. It just seems like everyone jumped on the bandwagon, even though it had no impact on them personally.
I therefore applaud Sony for doing anything it can to track down these cyber terrorists and punish them to the full extend of the law.

I could have sworn I read an article where the group did take responsibility for the hacks in retaliation for the young 21 year old hacker Sony was taking to court. It keeps going back and forth for me lol
edit on 5-5-2011 by Swills because: (no reason given)
Nope. Since this happenned anonymous has stated they had no involvement, but that they can't ruled out that maybe a member went rogue and did it on his own. They as a collective though were not involved, or so they claimed.
Also the person you are talking about is known as "Geohot" and that courtcase was settled out of court.

This isn't even counting the massive handheld sales that embarrass sony's psp on a daily basis and show no signs of slowing in the near future.3ds sets U.S. handheld sales record

This is not proof.Hypothetically speaking, if I were to rob a bank I wouldn't drop my ID for the police to find, I would drop yours.This isn't a new concept it happens all the time it's called a diversionary tactic.

This is common knowledge and hardly warrants any need for Nintendo to "hack" sony.
