Anonymous Hack PSN?

Anonymous becomes hot "name" today. It was being appeared after the online PlayStation Network (PSN) had been down for a week. Who is anonymous? Did anonymous hack PSN?

Anonymous initially fell under suspicion. Anonymous is an online collective which counts hacktivists as members and who achieved some fame for attacking MasterCard and PayPal after those companies distanced themselves from WikiLeaks.

Anonymous began its Operation Sony in solidarity with George Hotz earlier this month. George Hotz was being sued by Sony after hacking the PlayStation 3 and then publishing some of the jailbreak information on the Internet. Anonymous managed to take down playstation.com and the PlayStation Store, using their preferred tool of distributed denial of service attacks (DDOS) when the activists first struck. Then, the attacks broadened with another branch of Anonymous tracking down personal details of Sony executives and their kids.

Or rather AnonOps, one branch of Anonymous, has already denied the most recent takedown of PSN. It was possible that other branches of Anonymous were responsible, added the AnonOps. How does the PSN will be? Stay tuned for further information.
