Sony gets hacked by Anonymous

It should have expected this
Fri Jan 06 2012, 11:56

HACKTIVIST GROUP Anonymous has lived up to his threat to attack Sony over its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the US.

We reported earlier that the hackers had threatened Sony for its support for SOPA, and it has delivered.

The hack hit the Sony Pictures Facebook page and its web site homepage, according to reports and tweets from those involved. Comments were left on the web pages, but have since been removed.

The attacks carry the name Op Sony and were noted through the @s3rver_exe Twitter account. "#OpSony SonyPictures Hacked! by s3rver.exe , Anonnerd and N3m3515," says a tweet from that user, who continued, "I uploaded a @YouTube video (link removed) Sony Pictures Hacked By Anonymous."

That video and another have been removed from Youtube, but @s3rver_exe said that more would follow. Another account associated with Operation Censor This and both Anonymous and Team Poison under their P0isAnon guise acknowledged the hack.

At the end of December Anonymous warned Sony that its support for SOPA was its "death warrant".

"Your support to the act is a signed death warrant to SONY Company and Associates. Therefore, yet again, we have decided to destroy your network. We will dismantle your phantom from the internet," it said in a video that is still on Youtube.

It concluded, "Prepare to be extinguished. Justice will be swift, and it will be for the people, whether some like it or not. Sony, you have been warned." µ

Your prison cell is waiting

Ask the Anonymous boys in the slammer how things work in a court room vs. their fantasy Robin Hood world.

" JUSTICE " such stupidity can justify any crime...

Sorry, anonymous committing crimes doesnt constitute 'justice' no matter what stupid people think. It just makes them criminals and all those stupid people apologists for criminals.

Just a reminder to idiots of what happens when people think they no longer have to follow laws and pantywasters like anonymous face really ruthless people who will kill THEM while singing the tune of 'justice' in a similar lying way.

Oh and THEY assume they are 'anonymous' but they are not and are easy prey for the ruthless ones.

As you sow, so shall you reap....

@hames

They've been at it for years now, perhaps you should ask sony if you can post something more realistic? Perhaps for with 'justice will be slow but determined' or something?
Because it seems currently only the justice done to sony by anonymous is swift :)
