Sunday 3rd April 2011 Anonymous started spreading awareness and recruiting for Operation Sony. By Monday 4th they had taken down the PlayStation Network (PSN).

Customers were rather vocal regarding the attack, and the blogosphere was abuzz with talk about Anonymous’ Operation: Sony. Yet, unlike before, there was no neutral stance or clear support. This time, gamers and pundits alike were calling the attacks hypocritical. For the first time, Anonymous’ actions directly impacted consumers.
Previously, when Anonymous used DDoS attacks against an organization, only the main site was targeted. For example, when VISA was targeted, its processing operation wasn’t impacted, so consumers could still use their cards. Yesterday, that wasn’t the case. Taking down Sony’s PSN was a major change, one that hurt the very people Anonymous claims it wants to support.
