[quote]The Internet’s vigilant brigade has come to WikiLeaks’ defense yet again.
LulzSec, a hacker group, has claimed credit for cracking PBS’s website and leaking its login credentials after an episode of its Frontline show–titled “WikiSecrets”–that put a critical spotlight on WikiLeaks and the suspected source of its troves of classified documents, Bradley Manning.
“We just finished watching WikiSecrets and were less than impressed. We decided to sail our Lulz Boat over to the PBS servers for further… perusing,” read a statement that LulzSec posted to Twitter. “Anyway, say hello to the insides of the PBS servers, folks. They best watch where they’re sailing next time.”
LulzSec defaced PBS.org posting a graphic on the site that read “All your base are belong to LulzSec” (shown above) and a fake story that suggested murdered rapper Tupac Shakur was alive and living in New Zealand.
Frontline’s WikiLeaks documentary was seen by some as a negative spin on the leaking group’s story that emphasized Bradley Manning’s emotional problems and highlighted the accounts of WikiLeaks’ critics. In response to the program, WikiLeaks released its own unedited video of PBS’s interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and warned that the show is “hostile and misrepresents WikiLeaks’ views and tries to build an ‘espionage’ case against its founder, Julian Assange, and also the young soldier, Bradley Manning.”
LulzSec, which has previously taken responsibility for hacking Sony BMG’s Japanese website, has promised more attacks against Sony soon. “Phase 1 will begin within the next day,” the LulzSec twitter feed read just before announcing the PBS hack, following up on its warning from Friday: “We’re working on another Sony operation…it’s the beginning of the end for Sony."[/quote]

And now these fuckers hit a critical look at Wikileaks.....didn't get to see it. I should probably.
As for Lulzsec, get a life already.

Wikileaks said it was defaming they're name! WIKILEAKS IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
Note:That was fucking sarcasm...it was dripping with it if you knew my objections and skeptisim of Wikileaks.
Now what the fuck did Sony do. I'm okay when people do this stuff to show people that they're not secure, but these guys are doing it for attention
Seriously, just leave Sony alone.

I don't know if they've given an official reason, but it could be to do with the removal of the otherOS feature on the PS3, or it could be the way they treated Geohotz (apparently defending your products is bad)
Sony should just trace them back and hire some mercs or some shit to wreck their computers.

They're never going to let that go, are they?

Not until they get caught.
If they get hacked again, do I get more free games?

No, you just get a free brick
Basement dwellers are striking back.
Gee. This will never fucking end will it?
uh, attacking any-one that criticizes something you support will only make it look worse.
What a piece of shit
Fucking hell, now I have to find out how to remove most of my info from PSN. :argh:
What the fuck are they pissed at Sony for now anyways? They already got "punished" for the GeoHot incident. Their just beating a crippled horse now.
lol it seems like hackers are hacking a lot of things this season
Why do all those amazingly talanted (I'm dead serious here) hackers act like five year olds? I mean, sure, you did it, hooray, you're good at what you do. Now can you please stop behaving like a fucking retard?
Fuck now I can't watch Arthur

I personally believe it's because the media always paints them as some sort of horrible computer gods that can wreck anyone's shit, so they end up believing this themselves and pull this shit to earn fear and respect.
Hacking Sony is so last week.
Can we please stop hacking Sony? I mean, I know they've been dickish, but I'd really like to, you know, use my console which I paid good money for. So please, Lulzsec, go someplace else, validate your existence in other ways besides hurting the people you so desperately want to "protect".
We'd all really appreciate it.
someone should turn this shit on them and reveal their personal information.
Sony have had enough. They're a reasonably sound company, they don't need this shit.
