Infamous hacking group “Anonymous” has successfully infiltrated several Sony websites including Sony.com and PlayStation.com. The group has also warned that they plan to attack the PlayStation Network and PlayStation Store next.
Anonymous identified Sony as ‘abusing’ the judicial system, and participating in the suppression of information. This is due to a Sony lawsuit against PS3 jailbreaker George “GeoHot” Hotz, who made the hack publicly available. Sony also removed of the ability to install Linux on the PS3. The main thrust of the pro-hacker argument is that if you've paid for something, you should be allowed to do whatever you like with it.
Anonymous came into public notice especially during the Wikileaks situation, targeting companies that took down their support for the Wikileaks site.
