Three members of 'Anonymous' have been arrested in Spain.

These individuals were involved in the PSN hack back in May.

No-one escapes.

Funny how Anonymous are being called terrorists by Sony, pathetic.. And now someone is going to grab credit for "delivering a massive blow to this shadowy internet terrorist organization".

[Mr. Spencer]

I'll let that slide.

[Member_of_STARS]

I'll let that slide.

If you knew what Anon is, you would expect the news to read "3 idiot crackers got busted for cracking a few major companies balls".

[Mr. Spencer]

One of these days you are going to wake up with a horse's head in your bed. Could be tomorrow, could be next week. But some day.

Good luck sending that horses head over the cracked PSN.

The Police in Spain had the ability to SPY on these 'hackers' (and everyone else they thought was one). Those hackers weren't aware of that little detail. And they did a lousy job at covering their asses.

Will this happen everywhere else as well? The whole spying thing and having hackers be as clueless as the ones in Spain? Will this be used as a wake-up call by those hackers?

Will the attacks on Sony increase even more?

Stay tuned!

Well, I'm glad to see some of the individuals involved are starting to be rounded up. I find it hard to believe that it was only three people though...I'm sure more will follow.

Mr. Spencer, I'm assuming Sony is still looking into the matter and retaliation will be swift, brutal, and deadly for future hackers caught? Prison time seems too mundane and lackluster; I would like Sony to be more "creative."

[Pikminister]

Presently, the Policia Nacional (National Police) is getting mocked on the web. This based on their recent report that shows evidence of their complete ignorance on how Anonymous works (or not).

And that is why they only got 3 of them.

If you're looking for creativity from Sony you got the wrong idea lol

UPDATE:

All 3 "members" of 'Anonymous' that were arrested in Spain have been released.

It seems that the arrest was politically motivated since all 3 'hackers' were actually promoting the 15M Real democracy movement by targeting sites from some political parties.

[Member_of_STARS]

And the plot thickens.

Please, if they ever do actually arrest anyone from Anonymous there would be some backlash from other members, but even the fear of that happening isn't why they won't do it. Google something like "cyber terrorism" or "cyber attacks", you get tons of stuff from all governments around the world saying they're putting X amount of money into organisations to combat it. They love any excuse to recklessly spend and this is why they won't do anything.

Do you guys remember the massive attacks against Estonias e-infrastructure a few years ago? And that the attack came from the Kreml? No? Alright then...

[Mr. Spencer]

Had the report on my desk first thing yesterday morning, we had to let them go because it was proven that they had no connection to Microsoft or EDGE magazine. However I will say with confidence that the net is closing on Carnivol.
