Watch Out - PSN Might Get Hacked Again This Weekend

For the love of all that is good… In retaliation for the way Sony handled the PlayStation Network breach, a group of hackers (presumably the same hackers who took down the PSN and stole your data) are looking to hack the system again this weekend. Yup, just as the PSN is set to come back online, they want to fuck everyone in the most uncomfortable of places. I’m not talking about the back of a Volkswagen.

According to CNET, chatter on IRC has indicated a new attack will go down this weekend. The hackers are claiming to still have access to the Sony servers, which I don’t necessarily buy since the network was locked down by three forensic security firms and moved to a new physical location. So, you hack in and steal everyone’s personal data, then you get called out to Congress, then you threaten to hack the network again because you got called out? Smart. Really smart. This whole ordeal has been an utter clusterfuck. There’s no other way to put it.

If Sony doesn’t have every single server and computer on extreme lockdown behind the most sophisticated firewalls that can be constructed, there is going to be a riot if the PSN gets re-hacked this weekend. I don’t even want to think about what’ll happen if this shit goes down. Can you tell by the amount of cursing in this post that I’m fairly pissed about the entire situation?

    as a PS3 gamer, this make me sad, sure a bit of good has come out of this, like free PSN plus and some free games (Thank you Sony) but now Xbox gamers are making fun of us PS3 gamers, why can’t they just go hack Microsoft instead of Sony again, then maybe more people will work on some sorta super security, yes I’m a young gamer but I’m still out raged

      It’s very possible that the hackers could’ve been big fans of xbox and that could be the reason that they’re only attacking the psn.

        because hacking Microsoft products is of vary little challenge, ans the SOFT TECS will never admit to being hacked.

    Hey comment dummies! Read official Sony corporations & you’ll learn that these attacks are in direct relation with Sony lawsuit against GeoHot. Sony could of hired more security experts instead of laywers.

    Dr. Gene Spafford of Purdue University said that security experts monitoring open Internet forums were aware months ago that Sony was using outdated versions of the Apache Web server software, which “was unpatched and had no firewall installed.”

    Althought all PS3 gamers suffers (including myself) Sony deserved to be hacked, to loose $$$$$$ caused by theyre corporate greed.

    Just for the fun of it Google __Sony lawsuit__ & Boycoot Sony __ & Sony virus rootkit you’ll see they are an immoral corporation.

      Phil if you were a so called “true” PS3 gamer you wouldnt be putting down the company that makes Playstation. Secondly, the only dummy here is you because if you had an actual brain you see that if Sony is hacked and loses money it not only affects them but us as the consumer. So please get your facts straight and before you wanna say shit. You may also wanna think of buying an Xbox because you are a disgrace to fellow PSN Gamers

      Phil this is true and I agree with you by far 100%… As for you “Balthier”… I never recalled Phil saying he was a “true” Ps3 gamers, he just said he was a gamer; don’t criticize him for telling the truth.. Truth always comes out in the end.

        Whizzkid you must be blind read this line of Phils response:

        “Althought all PS3 gamers suffers (including myself)”

        he is refering to himself as a PS3 gamer so before you wanna respond back dipshit learn your facts straight

    They cant hack them when there working on the servers, and if they do since that there working on the serverss nad there trying to hack them again, it will give sony an exact spot on where there hacking from then the FBI can go get them

    • Jaysun

      That’s not exactly true, they can hack them while they are working on the servers beacause Sony’s firewall protection is outdated. There is no security, and it wouldn’t give an exact location because the hackers more than likely are using something they can get rid of easily. Plus the hackers can tell when they are being tracked and can redirect the track somewhere else, its pretty much a decoy. The Sony company should hire hackers that will help them hack back the system, then the hired hacker/hackers can trace where the one hacker that hacked PSN is and then can get Law Enforcement to arrest them.

    You guys care too much about psn vs xbox. Fanboys…
    Anon likely isnt a group of hackers hanging out. They likely dont know eachother and work scattered all of the world. Thats what anon is. I highly doubt they are xbox fanboys. They are trolls defending geohot and hackers. Not all hackers are pirates. Also hackers are ver benifical to us. Annoying yes but its the only way to riot and make a point. Troll til your caught.

    Hollyjiz. The fbi will never catch them all. Research anon and previous things theyve done. Btw no anon group is the same. They are always new and strangers to eachother half the time. Or maybe im wrong. Yall keep wining. They get info to show they are a threat. They wont do anything to customera. Only to the company itself. As they already have

    It appears to me, these hackers hack into Playstation Network, because of either their friend Geo. Or. Because they faced recourse of this in some way. But instead of taking it as it is, all these hackers are, is a bunch of retarded dogs. Why? Because only a retarded dog, who’s soon to be put to sleep, craps where it eats, and eats a load of it’s own feces, due to the fact it didn’t think things out clearly enough. If they bring down the network again, fine, let them do it. but the more they attack these networks, I say anytime we find one of their nuts in masks, at one of their rallies or whatever, we beat them to death, for being retarded mutts.

    • Jaysun

      Im pretty sure when they are upgrading, 100+ million people has lost their Identification, credit cards, and all personal info. Its no an upgrade.

    If i had any say on what PSN should do, i think they should just shut the entire network down and restart. Yeah it will take a long time to restore but its probably worth the time! They could restore their Firewall protection, which will boost their security level about 5-10x what it is now. It would probably take a lot of money too…
