Well they also hacked visa once according to the portuguese report I saw on tv which means they stole bank details before.

Who

Ones who took down the ps3 network and stole. Loads of stuff, forcing Sony to shut down online gameplay for best part of a month.

Does it matter if it points to them in the article?
They have been accused for weeks. Them being arrested isn't even new news.

Ok it's a tin foil hat though all right, but when crimes like this are so perfect and some 'terrorist' group is blamed the first thought that always enters my head is "yeah, right ok then".

Aren't these the guys that hacked into banks after the Wikileaks revelations? There's always a political edge related to their cause in what they do, and in what they then usually admit to doing. Like they admitted to hacking into banks, but seemingly not Sony.

What real gain or message is there to be made by hacking into the PS3 network anyway? It'd **** off a lot of console gamers and..

Glaucus · 11 Jun 2011 at 21:00

They've admitted to ddosing Sony in the past.

anuraj · 11 Jun 2011 at 21:00

Well lets get back on topic and think about what they look like. Were they fat?

Theophany · 11 Jun 2011 at 21:01

I guess 7 proxies was not enough then...

Just because they've been accused doesn't mean they're guilty. Isn't that one of the most basic principles of any modern judical system? Moreover, the article linked in the OP doesn't say that they've been arrested under suspicion of stealing credit card details, only for attacking Sony's website - which most likely means through the DDoS attack that Anon. freely admit.
