Anonymous in Spain captured

[Fenris]

They've admitted to ddosing Sony in the past.

ddosing and hacking to steal personal information are two VERY different things.

The equivalent is ****ing through someone's letter box or burning their house down.

Anon are targeted by governments as they don't like what they are fighting for, it may have been them who hacked Sony but who knows. Arresting 3 guys is not going to effect anon in any way. Anon fights for some good causes that I certainly agree on, the internet should not be censored in my book, if someone is distributing cp then arrest them but don't put draconian measures in that effect the rest of the internet. Cough cough iwf.

Chances are, they will say that their wifi was open or they can't prove it was not cracked and there won't be enough evidence. An ip !=a person.

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

Back on topic?

In GD?

 

[Vulcan]

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..

For the lulz, and why would they care about PS3 gamers?

 

[anuraj]

Can anyone tell me if they were fat?

Pretty much, sony are hated by a lot of people for many reasons. Especially the rootkit fiasco and removing linux support.

Who's saying they are guilty? As normal you are being pink kith for no reason. It says in other news articles that the Sony attack in April is down to them.

It's unto the courts decide guilt.

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.

Huh? Why would you hack Sony they suck.

I'm well aware, it doesn't change anything though.

 

[Hastarius]

They'll be another three to replace them.

 

[CliffyBiro]

You see that's the thing when you choose the idea of anonymity as the 'identity' for your 'movement'. Anyone can claim to be part of it and there's sod all you can do to claim otherwise.

 

[Attu90]

I dont know whether they took down the ps3 network but I bet its due to the ongoing investigations due to that attack that Anon have been found.

 

[needforspeed]

I guess 7 proxies was not enough then...

I read somewhere that the authority spied on their chat.

Great news, they should lock all the little ******* up and throw away the key.
Little **** ruining my beloved gaming!

Any links/more info? Would be interested to know how they were communicating. I'd be surprised if it was plaintext if they're into this sorta stuff so would be interesting to get an idea of how the police managed it.

 

[GJ02]

capturing these is going to open a right can of whoooooop ass
the webs will be gone in the morning

There's an open IRC network that anybody can join in on and an encrypted one where decisions about actions and targets are made.
