Sony said today it is investigating what caused PlayStation Network and its web domains to suffer from outages yesterday. The company issued a statement this morning suggesting it was a possible target from an "outside party." The statement can be read in full below:
We are currently investigating, including the possibility of targeted behavior of an outside party. If this is indeed caused by such an act, we want to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service. Our engineers are working to restore and maintain the services, and we appreciate our customers' continued support.

Yesterday, the hacker group known as Anonymous issued a threat to Sony saying it would attack its web domains. Sony later said PSN would be "undergoing sporadic maintenance" and that access to the PSN "may be interrupted throughout the day."

Guess stuff will happen, after all
 
I've said this before, but they can do more than DDoS... they can leak confidential documents... something that happened in every major "operation."
 
We will just have to wait and see how far they can take it

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG nooo..
oh waaait waaatt.. my psn is still working?
-sheesh- some people need to get a life
 
DDoS, pretty much all that Anonymous can do to Sony.
Although if they do somehow manage to get Sony to drop the case on Geohot, I will be impressed.
 
Am I the only one who's not dumb enough to piss off Anonymous? You guys do realize that they've done a lot more than DDOS attacks on other shit right? They also fucked with Mastercard/Visa too.

Sony deserve all the shit they get. Talking about shit, it's hit the fan and Sony need to run out of their corporate building and apologise to their customers for their stupidity earlier this year whilst dealing with Geohot. Unforutnately, they haven't done this. Sony are the most protective company I know and Anonymous are rightly doing this
