Yeah, have fun convicting an anonymous group.
Besides, they knew that Anonymous attacked before, they said that themselves. They just have no proof that they had anything to do with stealing account or credit cards.

You make a very good point. If they are formless and wide as they claim to be means that by denying action or claiming to take action they identify as being an organized group working towards a singular goal.Generic Gamer said:
The attacks that do actually take place under the Anonymous banner are probably carried out by an actual organized group of people.(and yes setting up a raid in irc counts as organized) The thing about those groups, the ones that actually do raids and release press releases under the Anonymous name, is that when they say they're not the ones responsible for something they actually mean it. I mean think about it; those guys are in it for the lulz and are out for attention. You really think they'd pass up the opportunity to say "Hey Sony we just pwnt you guise. Hope ur not 2 butthurt over it."
No, I still don't think they did this. They may do alot of stuff that pisses people off, but they're not ones to stay quiet when they raid someone.
That's nice, except it's not their job to find a suspect. That's a criminal matter. Also they have as much of a scapegoat as they had before. Hackers.DoctorPhil said:
I used a poor word choice when I said "found a suspect". But anyway... yes, but it'll be less damaging for their image, wich they obviously strive to keep positive. Anonymous is less broad than just "hackers". If I were Sony's CEO, I'd do the same.TheAbominableDan said:
It really doesn't sound like Anon's MO given that they apologised to the PSN users for the downed network saying 'we hope you understand what we are doing', then go pinch all their credit card details...
It's a bit of a stretch to even call them an "organization." They're only an "organization" in the loosest possible sense of the word.Tupolev said:
well..originally hte CEO himself said that he doubted anon was involved in the hacking. This release may just be a smokescreen for that. Anon tends to gloat about what they do, they WANT people to know it was them. They are attention whores but they are also good at what they do.
in this case, it may have been someone within anonymous, but I don't think it was anonymous as a whole.
