Sony vs Anon By tdillo in tdillo's Diary Fri May 06, 2011 at 01:49:27 PM EST Tags: (all tags)
	I think that I must be missing something somewhere. I had been hearing lately about Sony accusing Anonymous for hacking into the PSN and SOE and all that to steal personal info, credit cards, etc. I figured that was Sonys way of saying, "We don't have a clue whodunnit. It musta been those goddamn kids." Just a bit of CYA and smoke and mirrors. Then this morning I read how Anonymous has responded to Sony saying, "No U!" But the press and possibly the government may be taking the accusation seriously.

Now this has me kinda perplexed. While I understand various groupings of individual people get together in order to do things for the lulz under the banner of Anonymous I don't believe there is some Osama bin Cockmongler organizing and leading the legion like some kind of nerd Al Qaeda. It's all like a flash mob kind of thing or fish swarms. Isn't that correct? Or is there some actual shadow, "very professional, highly sophisticated, criminal cyber attack" team that is a clear and present danger to companies on the Internet? Personally, I think some other organizations are missing the boat here. You know like back in the 80's and 90's when some shit went down you would have these little jihadists calling in and claiming credit. Like the Organization for the Free Ejaculation of Palestine*. Anyway, I can just imagine the lulz and trolling opportunity if say, someone called The New York Times and claimed credit for the PSN hack in the name of the GNAA. I'm sure you can take it from there. I mean can you imagine Wolf Blitzer bringing up Goat.se on the Magnatron in the Situation room and asking, 'Is this the man responsible for stealing thousands of credit card numbers from Sony online? CNN takes you DEEP inside the mystery of the man known as Goat See.' Why should Anon get all the credit? Oh well, just an amusing idea. Feel free to speculate, cogitate and ruminate. Hell it's Friday, what else are you going to do, work the rest of the afternoon or just fuck about? *pretty cool book btw. I read it back when it came out. I've read a couple that he did later but didn't enjoy them as much as Rogue Warrior. I love the whole story behind tying knots in your boots.
