On 20th day of PlayStation Network down time, Anonymous hits back

As Sony's PlayStation Network reaches its 20th day of global down time, Global 'hacktivist' group Anonymous has hit back over critics suggesting it is to blame with its strongest message yet.
The Financial Times reported over the weekend that it had spoken to members of the cyber-activist group, who had admitted that its members were "likely to have been behind the recent hacking attacks on Sony".
The hacks have famously led to an unauthorised third-party accessing details related to 77 million PSN accounts and 24.6 million Sony Online Entertainment subscriptions. Sony told US Congress that subsequent to the attack, it had found a file on its PSN servers bearing Anonymous slogan: 'We are legion.'
Anonymous has been engaged in anti-Sony campaign ever since the company began court proceedings against hacker George Hotz in January - particularly in reaction to Sony obtaining the IP addresses of all the people who visited Hotz' blog, something Anonymous deemed "'offensive against free speech and internet freedom".
However, Anonymous has repeatedly denied having any involvement in the attacks, or any will to access consumer credit card details.
Now the group has fired over a press release entitled: 'Sony, I am disappoint', once again denying it is responsible for bringing down PlayStation Network, and attacking the Financial Times and others in the media for pointing the finger over the PSN hack.

Dude if anonymous wanted to bring that shit down. It would've stopped working quite a while ago.
GG stupid sony.
'Sony, I am disappoint'.
Everything is said in those words! I think it might be one of the biggest trolls in history.
Sony u_u
Damn. Makes me kinda feel bad for Sony.
internet security is becoming a serius issue
Poor Sony atleast I'm going to have fun on my new Xbox 360 =)
'Sony, I am disappoint' haha O loughed :D
i thought the psn was down for maintenance
wow, it seems like after all Sony is at Anonymous mercy!
Sony, please stop disappointing us. :\
Realy good post.
I would be happy if Sony would just work this out and get the psn working again.
Heh, I don't have a ps3 myself so all I can do is to laugh at all bored peers. AHAHAHAHA
Damn, Anon doesn't mess around.
its about time psn comes back online god dam..still have to play portal 2 co-op
I believe it was just some hackers that did not want the attention only to themselves, but rather blame the recently in news viewed group Anonymous to take the blame for it. How many people are now actually pissed off that someone or as they say Anonymous took down the PSN so future projects when trying to draw attention to something important happening everybody will say, oh not them again. I hope you get what I am trying to say.
btw don't feel bad for Sony! You buy hardware so you are allowed to modify it. If they don't think so well then stop selling products and go to mommy cause the bad kids took your action figure and put a new cape and helmet on it.
Sony... also, i doubt it was anon.
Can't complain too much. It is a free service.
Who do you think it was?
