I wish Anonymous would find the people attacking PSN.

You are wrong. They specifically denied bringing down PSN in a co-ordinated attack.

It's possibly rogue elements of Anonymous were members of the PSN hacker group, but Anonymous as a whole did not bring down PSN.

OT: That'd be lovely in a way, but terrifying in another. Who appointed Anonymous as the great internet vigilantes?
That's assuming that a statement made by a group with no organization -can- say that.

It was anonymous, the timing coinciding with the Geohot thing and the other anon attack isn't coincidential. Essentially this screams of another Anon trying to take it to the next level.

Either was, some jackass is risking peoples livelyhoods for a more than rediculous cause.

first the entire crew of Anonymous needs to be involved in a train wreck, and then it needs to be established that the real hacker is a one armed man.

Actually the PSN thing has been referred to as a train wreck...

QUICK SOMEONE GET THE F.B.I. ON THE PHONE!

I'll admit, it would be interesting to see PSN saved by Anon. Will it happen? It has about as much chance of happening as a snowball does of surviving in hell. Possible, just REALLY improbable. It would still be cool to see it happen.
So you're saying that a snowball could survive in hell.

A snowball could easily make it in Hell.
If I'm right the Bible states nothing about fire in a ''Hell''
Just pain and agony.

OT: They won't. Unless they are really pissed about not being able to use PSN.
They probably find this more funny than anything.

Surely I'm not the only one? This would be a tale people might want the movie rights to. An organization (Anon) that had at one time attacked our precious, but possibly malevolent, PSN is now being charged with the virtual equivalent of murder. The only way to clear their name? Find the real perpetrators and expose them.

C'mon, I know you'd watch that movie. Y'all's thoughts?
I wish Anon didn't exist and I owned a horse that crapped pure gold, can't always get what you want.
That sounds like the most awful movie that has ever even been an idea.

OP: sorry about the first line, I don't mean to be mean but I just couldn't help it. As to hoping they find the culprits, I really don't want Anon to get any good press, because I think the organization does a lot more harm than help to the causes it "supports." Also, whoever did it is probably on a beach in Tahiti slamming mai-tais right now.

you don't like sony much do you?
if ano find those guys before sony does it's gonna be a PR nightmare: not only did they have the break, the guys who did it also got caught by a bunch of people with average computer skillz and not by a million dollar heavy security team and the FBI.

yeah if it looks like that I'd never pay money to see it. Michael Bay would use the two people on a keyboard approach.

People.... please anon is not an organization, it isn't a coherent group with goals or aims or any sort of logical thought process behind it.

It is basically just /b/. Someone will have an idea, post it up there and it will snowball.

They do things for the lulz not for any reason and occasionally do some really awesome things.

Please, please, please stop with the whole Anon super secret internet organization thing.

Oh you kids and your romantic ideas of internet subculture.

Can't happen, they would cover their trails too well. During Project Chanology a lot of people learned how to maintain anonymity the hard way when "Anon" (read: spys) delivered various names and address to COS itself, causing the death of a cat and a lot of awkward conversations about door to door personality tests. On top of this, Tory "Magoo" Christman published the names and personal information given to her by adoring internet attention {REDACTED} who wanted to be the ones standing next to her when they won their "victory". This was done on the grounds that they deserved to be used as an example and warning to what happens when you don't protect your information from everyone.

Anyone who didn't already understand the need to cover their trails with fire and quicklime learned fast. I'd doubt these hackers would have left anything more than an old library card filed under a fake name from nowheresville. They're gone, and the only way to find them ever again is to watch the card numbers and hope the dude made a mistake during a round of canasta on the moon.

You want the FBI to work WITH the people they're also chasing on grounds of trafficking child porn and breaking countless cyber laws?

Anon aren't great hackers, they're mediocre at best. Majority of them are script kiddies, and bad script kiddies at that. It would be nice if all they did was go after the bad guys, the noble knights of the net, but that's never going to happen. The idea of anonymity is that they can do whatever they want because no-one will know. All lies of course, they couldn't remain anonymous if their lives depended on it. 'Sif a web based proxy is going to hide your trail..

The hackers could be caught, but there's lots of legal issues in the way. Every where you go on the net you leave a trail, but following that trail might be outside of the FBI's physical jurisdiction and thus outside of it's cyber jurisdiction as well. It would be a lot easier if vigilantes went after them because of that, but again, not going to happen.

Ever

In theory, sure. Only the chances of that happening at like... a billion to one or something.

Like a whale materializing above you and becoming sentient. Possible, just not probable.

If only the Make-A-Wish Foundation or a Genie would be on-hand to make this wish a reality, then this whole ordeal could be placed behind us all and a pretty nifty indie videogame could be made based upon the events of the past few weeks.

As long as people are wishing for things which are extremely unlikely, I wish that someone would wish that Anonymous would be drafted into their personal army. Who wouldn't want an army of hackers at their beck and call...besides people who want to respect everyone else's rights to privacy or don't want to intimidate anyone who doesn't fall into line without question and all of that sort of madness?

We did. All of us who let scum like over our forums. When their enemies were at the gates, the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to protect the city. And it wasn't considered an honor, it was considered a public service.
