      I think Sony's chief failure in this whole incident is that they believe their customers like to take it in the back-door as frequently and as messily as they do.

        Well, no, I think this is one of the few times that the "terrorists", so to speak, actually won.

        LulzSec said they would do this as revenge for Sony taking legal action against someone for jailbreaking the PS3. LulzSec has successfully cost Sony far, far more than jailbreaking ever would have.

        • This is an important point. People seem to defend these actions because they're demonstrating security holes. On the contrary this group did not set out to expose security holes but instead were intent on causing disruption. They're not doing this out of any higher sense of moral values.

            That is the nasty look of revenge. Sony unfairly used its weight against an innocent person, knowing very well that an individual cannot stand in front of an army of lawyers, and these hackers unfairly attack Sony causing as much disruption as they can. Two wrongs do not make a good, but this was not totally uncalled for. I can't help to see a bit of Robin Hood spirit there : "Trying to bankrupt someone to win in tribunal ? Let's let that cause you some comparable financial damages as well".

          10 years ago no one would have used the word "terrorists" (in quotations or otherwise) to describe straight forward black hat hacking.

          There are at least a hundred definitions of "terrorism" and they all include violence or the threat of violence.
          There's no violence here.

          Can you name one "terrorist" attack that hasn't been severly one sided in terms of cost?
          • Oklahoma city - for less than $5k there was 82.5Million in investigative cost alone
          • 9/11 -4 Planes, Several buildings, more expensive airport security, loss of jobs, etc have been estimated at over 2 trillion. +10 years of expensive war in Afghanistan
          • Anthrax Attacks - for the cost of 7 letters we got a clean up that the FBI put over 1billion and the war in Iraq
          • Liquid bombers - didn't even happen and we got more security theater and still have restrictions on liquids
          • Times square bomber - unsuccessful attack that got politically elites talking about suspending Miranda
          • Underwear bomb - Super expensive scanners and more security theater.

          Seriously, what "terrorist" attack in the last 10 years were you thinking of that hasn't caused a serous disproportionate response? Why do you think there seem to be more attacks in the last few years? For every couple thousand spent blowing, or attempting to blow, something up we spend hundreds or millions/billions/trillions reacting to it and every few large attacks causes the US to give away more of the "freedom(s)" that the terrorists hate. Over the last decade

        I don't think you're doing anyone a favor when you present Sony as a monolithic corporation.
        It's not as simple as Sony vetting one security setup and replicating it across all websites tagged as Sony.
        Sony is made of of endless domestic and international subcorporations, each with its own (poor) security setup.

      Just like the TSA hasn't stopped a single act of terror, only passengers have done that; most security measures cannot stop a determined professional.

      Safety and Security are largely mythological, the concepts are sold to a public that feels the need to exist with impunity.

      In point of fact, it is largely manners that keeps people safe and secure. Most of us do not act on our darker natures because it would be rude.

      Sony has demonstrated that they don't care about being well-mannered, and that they honestly believe that technology can keep them safe. They believe in DRM and they believe that they have the right to change a deal they have already made as if they were Darth Vader. They believe in their own Empire and they are willing to use any means necessary to maintain their grasp.

      In point of fact, the technological community is simply having a very high immune response to this bad actor in their midst.

      If Sony were to just come out, apologize for being douche-bags and promise never to do it again, they attacks would taper off quickly. They don't even have to mean it.

      For all that the *IAA have been idiots and evil, they didn't mess with the technologists as a whole, so they have gotten a pass so far. They also don't actually do anything, so they have been impossible to strike.

      Sony, as a member of *IAA(s) _and_ as a first person actor in technology via the PS3 etc, _and_ having stepped far across the line with the Hotz thing, has simply taken the first hit of lightning.

      Thing is, the community at large has now learned that they _can_ make a company pay. The frontier has been opened. The Streisand Effect is real, and it will, sadly, take the business world a little longer to learn that "The Angry Villagers Rule" is real as well.

      The torches are alight and the pitchforks are out and waving.

      In the technological circles, the technologists are peasants, but they do feed the nation and they do strike back.

      Companies need to rediscover their manners.

        I don't know where you come from, but I would consider it 'bad manners' to crack a security system just because you don't like a person, organization, or company... just as I would consider it 'bad manners' to punch someone in the face because I think they have 'bad manners.'

      And, hey, maybe they'll put up such a good defence that the jury will refuse to convict them and the balance of power between corporations and common people will be shifted, and that would probably be good too. But it should be done in courts or congress, not by vigilante mobs deciding to lynch a corporation that offended them.

      Because that happens in courtrooms across this great land of ours every day, doesn't it? Congresscritters are pushing each other out of the way to champion Joe Everyman against the nefarious interests of Big Media, aren't they? And our well-informed, socially aware, and technologically savvy courts deal defeat after defeat to these villains! Why, it's a wonder things like this ever happen given the enlightened society and legal code under which we live!

      Are you fucking kidding me?

      Are you for some reason under the impression that those people work for you or something? I can assure you they do not.

      Given all that, I'd like to hear a realistic alternative to vigilante mobs.

      Hey, that's pretty good. Vandalism, theft, fraud, abuse of process, all crimes when done by kids and rights when done by corporate thralls.

      I'm going to break something of yours, now. But it's ok, see, I wrote myself a permission slip, AND I'm going to let you choose which of these two things to let me break!

      I'll even let you watch, and if you try to fix it afterwards I sue your ass into oblivion in a court case I and everyone on the planet knows I can't win, but I don't care. I get paid the same eit

    • Seriously, I expect this will be modded into oblivion because Slashdot hates Sony and loves anyone who sticks it to the man (see also: Wikileaks, Anonymous, etc).

      I don't think anybody is describing these guys as 'good' or 'heroes' or 'right'. I think they're just happy to see Sony take its lumps.

      If my estimation of the current feelings of the GroupThink, you'd get modded down for saying that this should never have happened to Sony, but I don't think anybody'll give you crap about calling these guys criminals.

      Your unwavering view that the rule of law is moral and just is disturbing.

      I live in the UK where we have a first past the post voting system such that most governments are elected to have a majority giving them 100% of power with the support of only 30% - 35% of the population. This has led to schemes such as the ID card database which well over half the population opposed. Many laws are similarly opposed by such large proportions, but due to the nature of our voting system may be passed anyway.

Although the Anons I know in real life are proud to admit their affiliation (to people who are okay to know), I also suspect that members of Lulz are quite okay being totally silent on what their are doing, considering how dangerous is it.

    If nothing else, this has provided me the impetus to go and change all my passwords.

      well, seeing that their self-chosen moniker is lulzsec, I would assume that excludes the moralfags

  • By now I'm surprised there aren't actually several groups which have turned this whole thing into some kind of sport. It's certainly not for a lack of opportunities.

  • Does anything in the article indicate that they actually "hacked" anything? Doesn't it sound at least as feasible as anything that somebody from the inside leaked the source code and there was no network security breach as such at all? I've seen plenty of other things from this group to indicate that they are willing to make their successes out to be more impressive than they were, so it wouldn't really surprise me.
