Sony who had previously apologized to users for the Playstation Network and Sony Online Entertainment security breach is now playing the blame game and has turned their attention once again to the infamous “hacktivist” group, Anonymous.

Yesterday, Sony called out Anonymous and said that they are to blame for the reason that the security breach happened, because Son’y defenses were down while dealing with previous attacks from Anonymous.  Anonymous fired back at Sony in a press release for Congress stating that they had nothing to do with the credit card theft.

“While we are a distributed and decentralized group, our ‘leadership’ does not condone credit card theft, We are concerned with the erosion of privacy and fair use, the spread of corporate feudalism, the abuse of power and the justifications of executives and leaders who believe themselves immune personally and financially for the actions they undertake in the name of corporations and public office…” – Anonymous, Hacktivist Group

The security breach that has launched an investigation by the FBI and angered not only users, but members of government, has left the PSN down for weeks and Sony is trying to get service back up and running for it’s users by the end of the month.

lol exactly my thoughts.

Sony blaming them for Sony not been secure in the first place and ending up getting hacked.

Obviously looking for a scape goat for the servers not being up to the date IMO.
