Anonymous Claims to Have Hacked PSN, Sony Says No
Yesterday, a member of Anonymous claimed via the hacktivist group's Twitter that he had hacked Sony's PlayStation Network and had access to a 50 GB database of user account information, including emails and passwords. The ordeal brought back plenty of bad juju from the PSN outage of 2011, which was also caused by hacking.
PSN users before you raise your angry mob torches for a Sony witch hunt, take a breath. Your information is safe.
After hearing of the hack, Sony responded via the PlayStation Twitter feed that "We can confirm that the recent claim that PSN was illegally hacked & that customer PWs and email addresses were accessed is completely false."
Indeed, the Anon member had been bluffing the entire time. The pastebin file that the Anon member had included in his tweet as "evidence" that he had hacked the PSN turns out to be the same that was dumped back in 2011.
Don't worry, PSN members, there's no repeat of last year's PSN disaster.

And it will be interesting to see what the DoD will do to hunt them down like the criminals they are. :-)
Oddly enough, it would be quite a hilarity, if the alleged criminal is a 13 y/o prodigy from Bangalore, India.
, Nobody Cares.
If a 13 y/o can hack the DoD we'd certainly have to ask ourselves who the hell is in charge of security at the DoD :-)
Than again, I'd not be surprised as the powers in charge are usually well behind the realities of the real world.
Is that....O_o...is that...by any chance...a reference to the "Good Will Hunting"? o_O'
Yet, sadly the cloud is a powder cake just waiting to explode. In reality no system is entirely secure and the constant hacking reports of high profile target proves it!
A powder cake exploding would be bad: we would be covered in talc. Of course, a power keg exploding would be much worse...
You have no organization. One cell could be doing white-hat stuff, while the other is getting ready to dump Intel's research stuff into Bit-Torrent.
Well even if a powder cake were to explode, I think the effect would be quite interesting
