This just shows that gamers are dicks then. IIRC many Minecraft players that DDOS'd their own servers before to make Notch hurry with an update =/

It seems like ever since the PSN went down there's been just a constant stream of hacking going on... and its getting absurd. It's like some site gets hacked or DDOS'd every day now.
...and now the Escapist? And Minecraft? W. T. F.

Someone needs to give these guys a taste of their own medicine.
I wish there were hackers out there that were so fed up with all this bullshit that they would just band together and go after Lulsec and the like. That would be awesome.

It's a sad state of affairs for sure... I really just hope they would grow up and stop causing misery for everybody. :(

Changed my password fuck that.

I'm probably going to change mine tomorrow in case there's a round 2. What DebugMode said was reassuring, but nonetheless better safe than sorry.

noone knows what they are.. it might even be a conspiracy.. ye ye noone believe it, because its convenient..
well, obama is already in progress to own internet :)

Jesus tap-dancing Christ, this is getting ridiculous.
Why would they even...?

Changed my password just in case.
Preparing other secure passwords to memorize in case other services I frequent are hit.

This has gone way beyond the excuse of "We are showing a weakness in your security you need to fix." Lots of people showed support for them when they attacked Sony, and they got ballsy. Now they are pissing off everybody in the gaming world. They've now got the attention of the US government since they hacked the US Senate. They won't last.

And when they do get arrested, they are in for a world of hurt. Since they've left every hack with their name on it, every single event is able to be linked back to them, and they can't deny any of it.

They didn't attack Sony's PSN.

They attacked their MMO games' servers, and some of their websites.

LulzSec: "We're hacking Sony right now"

I never said they hacked PSN, I said they hacked Sony, which they did.

I could really give a shit less what they're excuse for hacking is. Its wrong and they are a bunch of internet try hards. Fucking kids need to learn to grow up and keep their fingers out of the cookie jar. They can say what they are doing is good all they want, but like GeoHotz and the rest of those fuckbags, all they did was make things worse, and thats all these assholes are doing is making things worse. Im waiting for the cries of outrage when governments start clamping shit down and censoring the internet, and we'll all know who to blame. Childish fucking hackers and the fuckbags that support them.

Sorry, thought you were talking about PSN.
