Anonymous declares war on Sony in support of GeoHot
Faceless internet 'hacktivists' begins DDo𓂃S attacks on Sony sites
Sony's legal dust-ups with PS3 modders George 'GeoHot' Hotz and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: Graf_Chokolo have earned it the ire of the 'hacktivist' group known as Anonymous. This weekend, the infamous online entity issued a less-than-subtle threat stating that Sony "saw a hornests nest, and stuck [its] penises in it," and would therefore face the full brunt of Anonymous' wrath. We can't thಞink of any worse punishment than sticking one's manhood into a nest of arme🔥d insects, so this should be interesting.
Dubbed Operation Sony, the retaliation is part of Anonymous' Operation Payback; an initiative which seeks to disable websites belonging to perceived opponents of free-rights content with distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS). The u꧂nidentified gr🌠oup claims Sony violated basic free-use freedoms when it sued GeoHot and arrested the German hacker Graf_Chokolo for allegedly engaging in PS3 jailbreaking activities.
The full mo🐓tivations for Anonymous' attack were given i🌌n this message posted on Friday:
Given Anonymous' track record, this is no empty threat. Comprised of shadowy hackers from across the internet, the group has engaged in similar web-based attacks against heavy hitters such as Amazon, YouTube, the Westboro Baptist Church, and – perhaps most notably, the Church of Scientology. Members of Anonymous were also reported to have been responsible for disabling ex-President Hosni Mubarak's National Democratic Party website during the recent Egypti🅠an protests.
