Anonymous Has No Plans To Attack PSN, Might Drop The Whole Thing

Published on January 2, 2012, by Ernice Gilbert - Posted in News, PS3, Sony 5

Just recently hacktivist group anonymous said it would destroy Sony after the firm announced its plans to support SOPA, however the group vowed not to attack the PlayStation Network.

Apparently, there were members within Anonymous who wanted to see PSN go down, but the majority voted against, and now that Sony, along with EA, Microsoft and other big gaming companies have pulled support for the Support Online Piracy Act (SOPA), the group might drop its war against Sony altogether. At least for now.

Anonymous planned on posting personal information about Sony executives online and defacing Sony’s website with anti-SOPA propaganda. The group also planned to make copywritten Sony media available for free from links embedded on Sony websites.

There’s no reason for doing any of this, now.
