Yesterday Sony reported that they found a file on the SOE server with Anonymous in it’s name and the words “We are legion” in it’s contents, they then suspected Anonymous or associates of Anonymous were guilty of the security breach. Today Anonymous has responded to these claims stating that they didn’t do it. In their statement sent to The Guardian, Anonymous says;

Things are only going downhill for Sony. First of all let me define the word ‘Subpoena‘ via Dictionary.com:
[suh-pee-nuh, suh
b-] –noun
Seriously internet I’m done, this is the LAST time I’m writing about Sony. My fingers want to engage in more meaningful activities than to help me write about a multi billion dollar company that has been well respected for many many years and is now gently being disregarded in terms of trust. I’m just a dude who wants to play Portal 2, that’s all.
So lets get started; A Canadian law firm has proposed a class action lawsuit in excess of $1 BILLION dollars against Sony for:

I’m not really sure if that is such a good idea or not; it’s like selling a Pepsi in a Coca Kola case, it’s like CNN showing a video that a BBC reporter reported… it’s like putting Dell parts in a computer built in 1997 causing it to explode.
There are positives though, and it is very possible the positives outweigh the negatives as they can pull traffic from Facebook and use their well developed social networking system to exploit them.
