En av fjolårets största händelser i spelvärlden var naturligtvis det omfattande sabotaget mot PSN som gjorde Playstation 3 till en offlinekonsol under lång tid. Bakom angreppet stod hackergruppen Anonymous, och via ett meddelande låter man medela att det snart kommer smälla igen.
Och det mot Sony, igen. Den här gången är det Sonys stöd mot SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) som retat upp hackergruppen och man menar att lagen hotar hela internet. Exakt vad Anonymous ska göra och när förtäljer inte historien. Det handlar dock som sagt om moderbolaget Sony och inte PSN specifikt, så förhoppningsvis kan vi spelare skonas om de gör allvar av sitt hot.
Hela Anonymous meddelande till Sony hittas här nedan.
Hello, SONY.
We are Anonymous.
It has come to the attention of the Anonymous activist community that you have chosen to stand by the Stop Online Piracy Act. This act will halt online businesses and restrict access to many sites for many users. Supporting SOPA is like trying to throw an entire company from off a bridge. 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. 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.
To those doubting our powers. We've infiltrated the servers of Bank of America, The United States Department of Defense, The United Nations, and Lockheed Martin. In one day.
For their approval to SOPA, we have also declared that our fury be brought upon the following persons. Justin Bieber. Lady Gaga. Kim Kardashian. and Taylor Swift.
Operation Blackout, engaged.
Operation Mayhem, engaged.
Operation LulzXmas, engaged.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Supporters of SOPA, you should've expected us.
