I don't believe Anon is responsible. They are more like a hacktivist version of Fred Phelps; if they did it, they would have done everything in their power to gain media attention.

It may not be Anon but it looks like it was hackers. See Link

Why do people have to be such

and ruin everything for others.

You'd be doing well to get on PSN with your Xbox.

Which is why I didn't believe it. They aren't exactly the most subtle group.

This is...annoying. Right when spring break starts as well, and to top it all off, I'm too sick to go outside to do anything which means I'm stuck in the house...with no PSN.

I like it because some of my friends have to get off of their gaming systems and enjoy life for once. Here, at least, it is a beautiful weekend, and if I did not have annoying family over, I would be off elsewhere, enjoying it. Spring is in the air and my trees are coming back to life...gotta love it.

That having been said, I bet the hacker(s) are feeling a bit puffed up in terms of their self worth at the moment.

Alright: This is getting serious. Sony reportedly unable to tell if PSN users' personal information compromised.

Still being incredibly tight-lipped about all of this. The longer this goes on, the worse it looks.

Luckily I bought a PSN prepaid card instead of using a creditcard.

Pure pwnage.

Sony has finally come clean about the "external intrusion" that has caused the company to take down the PlayStation Network service, and the news is almost as bad as it can possibly get. The hackers have all your personal information, although Sony is still unsure about whether your credit card data is safe. Everything else on file when it comes to your account is in the hands of the hackers.

In other words, Sony's security has failed in a spectacular fashion, and we're just now finding out about it. In both practical and PR terms, this is a worst-case scenario.

What did they get?

Here is the data that Sony is sure has been compromised if you have a PlayStation Network Account:

* Your name
* Your address (city, state, and zip)
* Country
* E-mail address
* Birthday
* PSN password and login name

"It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained," Sony announced. While the company claims that there is "no evidence" that credit card information has been compromised, it won't rule out the possibility.

Glad I'm still boycotting Sony.
