Anonymous Declares War on Sony, Threatens PSN

December 31, 2011 by Ian Miles Cheong

Anonymous has declared its opposition to Sony for the company’s support of legislation that would prohibit free speech.

Anonymous does not forgive, and it certainly doesn't forget.

Anonymous

Despite Sony's recent decision to withdraw its support of the Stop Online Piracy Act (or SOPA), members of Anonymous have published a press release stating their desire to attack and dismantle Sony's PlayStation Network (PSN) for its support of SOPA.

Sony may have changed its stance on SOPA, but the company is still a backer for the equally problematic PIPA provision that's going through the Senate.

"It has come to the attention of the Anonymous activist community that you have chosen to stand by the Stop Online Piracy Act. This act will halt online businesses and restrict access to many sites for many users. Supporting SOPA is like trying to throw an entire company from off a bridge. Your support to the act is a signed death warrant to SONY Company and Associates. Therefore, yet again, we have decided to destroy your network. We will dismantle your phantom from the internet. Prepare to be extinguished. Justice will be swift, and it will be for the people, whether some like it or not. Sony, you have been warned."

A further portion of the Anonymous press release mention's the group's capabilities and how they infiltrated the servers of Bank of America, US Department of Defense, United Nations, and Lockheed Martin.
