Yeah, Amazon seemed to have support for Sony Entertainment Online, but I am not entirely sure if Amazon's downtime is directly associated with PSN.

It is, Sony make use of Amazon's cloud storage for PSN login info.

There has been an external intrusion, probably this very week, seeing it's such short notice - that's the statement this announcement made. Anon conducted a planned DDoS attack. That's not an intrusion.

That may be so but the majority of my post is how Sony blamed anonymous for the latest downtime when it was they that turned off the PSN willingly without telling anyone.

One PSN manager does not equal Sony.

True, but it was an official announcement from the EU PSN Manager. One of the managers of the entire EU network. How much more official do you want?

He just likened it to the attack they already experienced, and he did not say that it's specifically been Anon. You are a little overreacting. Or I am a little too trustful in statements instead of perceived subtext I should receive.

Hmmm, so someone has the technical intelligence, the general 'l33tness' and the good old know-how and ability how to hack a massive system. Does that person
1-hack into a far away bank somewhere and transfer large funds of money to their own accounts, leading to wealth, warm beaches and hot bi*ches?
Or
2-Attack the online portion of a gaming console's social network so a couple of thousand disgruntled gamers sit on their sofas shout angrily for a while untill they go do something else?

Its whatever flaots your boat mannnn.

Some hacker *bleepz0rz* are mad @ Sony. Basically a group of Anons are trying to get back at Sony for "hurting the people" by... taking down every ps3 users online for a couple days.

What a way to make them on your side right? :tops:

I bet it was Microsoft, quickly lets hack Xbox Live.

You're assuming the two problems are equal - they're not even comparable. Taking something down can be as straightforward as hammering it until it falls over, and as has been shown with various other attacks there are thousands of people on the internet willing to voluntarily add themselves to a botnet in order to DoS things they believe are doing wrong. That's just strength in numbers, no great know-how required there. You're not going to be able to tamper with anything, much less get away with major bank fraud, by sending a few million requests to a server.

Something really fishy is going on. Even if someone did hack into the system, Sony would never EVER admit to it. Same as microsoft, they would never admit someone was able to hack into there system. So for Sony to say it was "outside intrusion" does not make any sense.

As for "Annomyous" he or they said they didn't do it.

Just look at it as time to go outside and enjoy nature. Get a breath of fresh air, smell the flowers that have alluded you for the past few years. Maybe even spend some quality time with your family and friends.

I thought Anonymous already took PSN down a few weeks ago? Why are people blaming this maintenance on them?

Because Sony blamed it on an "external intrusion".
