Sony may be hit by yet another attack this weekend. According to CNET, hackers are planning to attack Sony's website in the next few days. The attack is said to be a response to Sony's handling of the PSN security breach. The plan would be to publicize some or all of the data hackers were able to find on Sony's servers. This would potentially include the names, addresses and credit card numbers of more than 75 million PSN users.
NEWS: Sony To Offer "AllClear ID Plus" Identity Theft Protection For Free
A group of hackers were talking in an IRC channel when someone who either overheard or was a part of the conversation told CNET about the plan. These hackers claim to have access to Sony's servers.
This is, of course, not confirmed, especially since no one has taken credit for the attacks. In Sony's statement to the US House of Representatives they claimed to have discovered files hinting at Anonymous involvement, such as the words "We are legion." Anonymous has repeatedly denied their involvement and further condemned the theft of credit card numbers.
Sony did not get back to CNET about these reports.

This is getting ridiculous. I seriously hope the hackers drop dead... They are nothing but thiefs and nothing else. They are not noble. They are nothing. Its really getting stupid and these people have no lives...

So now that they realized their first reason for attacking sony was wrong they are making up another stupid reason so they don't look like they are backtracking. These people are just toole's. Go attack some child porn website not good people just trying to play games.

there wont be another attack, people who are capable of stealing information arent going to publicize it and say "lol I got you guys again!", they will go in, take what they want, leave, make as much money as they reasonably can, and drop off the radar before anybody catches on to them.

I'm sick of these hackers, I wish they would stop attacking Sony and just go away already because they're not only hurting Sony but they're also hurting us gamers who are just innocent bystanders in all this

I hope the hackers were smart enough to take care of the meta data on those files that were planted on the servers! I'm sure they did though. That is a rookie move if they didn't.

In response to their handling of the hack.......... hmm...... Almost makes you wonder, maybe no credit card information was taken at all, and only reported that way to demonize the hackers. Maybe they found the plans to the PS4. Maybe they found the Ark of the Covenant. Maybe monkey will fly out of my butt. Who knows, all we can do is wait and see.

A random group on the IRC told them? Idk this sounds too much like the kids on a forum who allegedly tried to sell Sony their info back when it was found out that they were just lying idiots trying to make a quick buck. I call BS and whoever is doing this is gonna have to pick up the deck, their just piling more crap on their table.

Seriously? Why? Why would they want to kick Sony while they're down? I hope they fail and get caught.
