PlayStation Network Hackers Found (Possibly Many More)


Word on the streets are that Spanish Police have arrested members of the hacking group Anonymous who where believed and now confirmed to be responsible for hacking the PlayStation Network. Apparently they found the base in an apartment (not their parents or grandmothers basement) where the servers were located. Its obvious that PSN wasn't the only thing hacked as they had been hacking computers and even going for banks.

What exactly Anonymous' motives were for hacking PSN could be for any reason. The question still looms as to exactly how many there were. The sentence for such an act sounds to be three years in a Spanish prison. It also remains uncertain, I suppose as to how the Hackers were found. Its a given that none can effectively cover their tracks but that they always slip up somewhere. But, the gaming community knew that they were involved with the attacks and really, the masks give it away when you really look at it. I'd like to think that those members that came forward and suggested Anonymous was responsible, are the ones that actually had made the attack and likely were the ones that tried to hack Nintendo as well for sport. So they claim anyway.
