Mad with the recent unfortunate news that graf_chokolo could go to a prison, a group called themselves “Unknown” has warn Sony and already has a major plan in place to attack the-just-recovered PlayStation Network where they are not responsible for the previous attack.
Hello,
We wanted to contact Graf, first know that you have our support, we are a team that shall remain nameless, we never, ever made piracy network as is done in recent times . But in light of your circumstances we will review our principles we find scandalous the way Sony treats you, ready to send you to jail just for a misplaced pride and make an example.
Therefore to show our support, we set up a major hacking as a target with the PSN, so I just let you know that it is already playing, so to speak we already know which way to go to reach our goals, we just press a button. Mr Graf soon as you put one foot that we wish you not hear, we press to button in protest and support.
We will not explain how the PSN will be reached to avoid any protection, but know that the fault is and we know how to get there we just press the button to the famous work is already done, we a nice script for this.
To prevent piracy of the first PSN was a joke, here you will bury once and for all, already said goodbye to your shareholders, customers, developers already uncertain about you.
People who think defense argued injustice by crooks, Sony you dare tell your customers that they are now secure and that you have learned from, not but what nerve. We garantisons you have not seen anything yet, if Graf goes to jail you will wake up in hell, you can already put your PS Vita and future PS4 in the trash and opt out of the video game market.
Also note that we have more than one trick up our sleeve, and that we are talking the talk that we as the first step. We planned everything with the sole target Sony Playstation we scattered some do not like with Sony Pictures and others because he must focus on a branch or Sony Playstation for it to fall. As mentioned above we do not correct a predefined script to a button, but much everything is planned, but the first shot to the PSN will have to pass the old hacking the PSN for a damp squib.
You have gone too far now you must pay for the few principles that you have, we have and we’ll show you.
We will finish by saying that for the moment nothing is played, it is you who make the decision to start this or not. As we said to the thing that will be only too Graf is in prison, if it is not the case do not take this into account, but you are warned, hoping for you that your conscience is clean and you can sleep the night, personally we wonder how you made?
Should you take this message seriously? Well, i don’t know, i mean the war on Sony first started because of graf_chokolo too as claimed by Anonymous. So, there is always a possibility that the message above is not from an average troll (he’s a European, so mind the language) and that Sony should deal with another attack even it’s not from the group above. A possibility.
Whatever it is, let’s just grab your snack, and watch the show. Sluur..oh, that’s the sound of a snack right?
UPDATE: More news from the “Unknown” group.





















Sony totally deserves it. Go on guys!
@Andrea1Liquid they do NOT deserve it this all started because of pirates and Sony stepping up against them, and when goehotz thought he could control psn(which Sony has every legal right to deny to whoever they so choose) anonymous just used that as a poor excuse to attack the innocent.ps make sure you know laws in regards to business and whatnot before you reply.
@usuk I suggest you go brush up on your ps3 history so you know what you are talking about. right now you reek of sony fanboyism and ignorance! Read this and educate yourself http://ps3history.com/
And you seem like a fanboy of calling people who disagree with you a fanboy. You reek of idiotism.
I suggest you to get your facts straight before talking. This has nothing to do with business, this regards legality and morality. I don’t have the time to argument for the 100th time how piracy has little to do with Sony’s moves against geohot and graf_chokolo. A good reading will give you much more knowledge and save me time writing this comment. Btw, I’m not agreeing to illegality. I totally dislike lulzec’s behavior. I agree with good people trying to get Sony to understand that giving free and legal homebrews to the users would be the key of their success and that haunt people like graf is miserable.
This is not a law suit about jailbreaking the PS3. You don’t get jail terms for that shit. This is because graf acted like a stupid dick and blackmailed Sony and also attempted to coerce Sony. Say what you will about jailbreaking consoles, but blackmail and coercion are serious crimes and as such graf will deserve the jail sentence he hopefully gets.
As a customer of Sony’s products desiring to play a game in my spare time, do I deserve it?
Prick!
“…he’s a European…” It’s Mathieulh!!!!
that is some awful english. Looks like it went through an internet translator. Also, Sony can’t send people to jail/prison. Court systems and government agencies do that.
You are correct that Sony cannot physically send someone to prison. They can however contact authorities and whine to them that someone is trying to give users back a feature that they decided was no longer needed and have said person arrested. This is Sony’s own fault and they deserve every bit of punishment coming their way.
Punishment? LOL. Watch. And mind your watching as it turns to waiting. Nothing will happen. Grow up.
dave used *Grow up* It was very successful. Reverend D immediately turned off the computer and found a job.
no one HAD to update no one HAD to give up linux sony just stated that if you have linux that they will deny a service that is their, and if you know your laws they have every legal right to deny that service Sony is the innocent party as well as the gamers here, and all these “hackers” are nothing but pirates who want free games but can’t find their way out of mommy’s basement.
so people who want Linux and the ability to use new games without buying 2 ps3s are pirates ? your head is so far up in Sony i can’t tell where one begins and the other ends.
you do know that you can run linux perfectly fine on an existing computer in your household and that the PS3 isn’t the only thing on the planet that can run that particular OS, right?
of course i know this but i own my ps3 i will do what i want with it. the point is a I bought a SUPERCOMPUTER that can play games, not a game console. anyways my ps3 could run Linux perfectly fine until Sony screwed that up, then forced me to choose games, Linux or buy a second one for both. so sorry if i want my PS3 to be able to do everything it should. Graf Chokolo wasn’t hacking for piracy or to hurt Sony just to return what Sony took away from people for the BS excuse of “Linux was security risk” when it was really to force people to buy IBM blade servers instead of using their ps3 as one.
no. you’re only half right. you own the hardware, but the software belongs to sony – it is their intellectual property, so they own the rights and since otherOS was a *software* feature, they have every right to alter their property. and no. you did not buy a supercomputer, you bought an *entertainment system* that happened to have been able to run an alternative operating system. and again, no. you can thank hotz for the removal of otherOS from the PS3 since it was his initial hypervisor exploit that resulted in its removal. people apparently have a really hard time remembering that fact. and for the last time, no. the removal of the feature has nothing to do with IBM, nor was it removed to “save money” or any other ridiculous conspiracy theory.
Go on!
1. Not everyone speaks only english. Some people are actually educated and english is only their 2nd or 3rd or 4th language. 2. Sony is the dumbest gaming company in history ever. They used to be really cool. Now everybody just hates them. I will never buy a Sony Product again unless I am 100% sure it can be pirated and Sony loses money from it.
1. That’s not the product of “2nd or 3rd language”. That’s an internet translator’s work. I’ve grammar-checked essays written in English by 2nd-year Koreans and Taiwanese, but I’ve never seen something that bad. 2. Sorry all I read was “waaaahh Sony won’t let me pirate games on their platform, why are people preventing me from doing destructive things, waaaahh” “and Sony loses money from it”. - If you buy any Sony product from retail, they are getting money. - So let’s suppose you buy a used Sony console and decide to pirate games for it. Sony still does not lose money, friend. You should know this; “because piracy isn’t the same as stealing”. After all, that’s standard rhetoric and repertoire for pro-piracy manchildren like yourself.
I don’t hate Sony. Therefore, not everybody hates them. Blanket statements tend to make you look like an idiot. All an attack will cause is another length of downtime attributed to some hacker group that thinks they’re sending a message. The only message I’m hearing is “If you don’t do what we say, think how we think, or act how we act, we’ll ruin your fun.”
problem sony fags?
niquer vo mere aller casser les couille a d autre vive le psn ya dautre cible plus logique que les joueur !!!
Can someone please kill these hackers already? Show them real terror.
LMAO TAKE FONY DOWN BOYZ MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF THEM TAKE THEM OUT FOR GOOD THIS TIME
wth is wrong with all these hackers. some god complex or something? from what ive read from anons and unknown they sound like they really think they own the world or have some ultimate power that cant be beat. wtf sony doesnt need this. why dont they go fucking hack microsoft for squeezing every little cent out of your pockets. sony has done nothing wrong. all im seeing is sony trying to defend themselves from a bully that pushed them and now that sony retaliates more bullies come after sony. its stupid and it makes no sense. these fucking hackers need to grow the fuck up and move out of their parents house. Grow the fuck up
Yeah Sony screwed us. Not being upfront on the breach. Taking ps2 support out of the newer ps3s. Ylod becoming rampant on launch ps3s we paid 600 for. And a welcome back program with games that most Sony fans already have. Sony is not perfect. I am sick of these attacks. I want the vita. I want 3d games. I want future god of wars and uncharted. Stop going after Sony. Microsoft is just as bad. Only console with yearly subscription fees to play games online. Stopped hd DVD support with their Xboxes. Releasing a console that rrod’s like crazy. If I had hacking skills and no life I would go after you hackers. I think 75% of the ps3 owners would like to kick these hacker’s ass. Stop it you no life losers.
At the Guys claiming Sony took Linux away from them hence it is Unfair. Did Sony tell you that they will always support Linux in Future updates? I don’t recall that. How is this different than the online Portion of your game being discontinued? Again. No promise for permanent support. You bought a PS2 and WOW very little games being released on it. PS3′s use to come with 4 USB ports now it’s 2. They removed the Memory card reader and no one is complaining. If you updated you console you agreed to the Terms before accepting the Update. This wasn’t some Backdoor stealth shit. SO quit claim Sony stole something from you. You willingly gave it up when you agree to the new Terms
Also, To the fools that want to see Sony die. Remember that will be one less console. That means less competition. Now since when do comsumers win with no competition? No Sony means No PS4 or Vita with PSN. When Microsoft and Nintendo see this. They can over charge consumers since they is no choice. limit features etc.
GROW THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKIN HACKERS COMPLAINING ABOUT STUPID SHIT WTF DAMN. OH EM GEE THEY TOOK FUCKIN LINUX FROM ME D: SO FUCKING WHAT THEY TAKE IT FROM YOU ITS JUST A PROGRAM GROW THE FUCK UP AND GET THE FUCK OUT. FUCKING HACKERS ACTING LIKE LITTLE GIRLY MEN
The only reason Sony removed the OtherOS feature is because GeoHot used it to find a security exploit in the PS3. If you want to blame anyone for the loss of the OtherOS feature, blame GeoHot for taking it away from consumers. His selfish lust for e-fame and piracy is the reason that PS3 owners don’t have access to that feature any more. Quite frankly, it grows tiresome seeing entitled pirates having childish hissy fits because Sony wants to protect their customers and keep their system secure.
Anyone ever notice that 99% of all “homebrew” software is DIRECTLY related to pirating of games? Homebrew is just a politically correct word that hackers/pirates use to mask their true intentions. How much productivity software do you think they are going to run in 256 meg of RAM? Yeah, exactly. It’s just an excuse and everyone sees through their pathetic attempts to hide their actual goal. Pirating games.
No offense to any hackers out there, but my input on this subject is to not forget about the millions of gamers worldwide that will also be effected by it, they never done anything wrong, they’re just trying to game with their friends, they shouldn’t have to suffer. If your talking about bringing down the system so people could get back to the true nature of being alive, then I’m all for it. I just don’t agree with making millions of gamers suffer everytime a hacker is faced with jail time. Well that’s my 2 cents anyways,Good luck in your mission, just don’t forget about the gamers and the fun that goes with it. Peace, Love & Don’t Kill People!!!!
DEATH TO THE HACKERS DEATH TO THEM ALL FOR RUINING MY FUN TIME DEATH TO THEM ALL FOR TAKING AWAY MY ONLINE CAPABILITIES WHEN I DIDNT DESERVE IT DEATH TO THEM ALL FOR THEIR GOD COMPLEX THEY DO NOT STAND FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE PEOPLE THEY STAND FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH INADEQUATE REASONS. DEATH DEATH DEAETH DEATH
Wait, are they saying the attacks will start no matter what, or only if Graf goes to prison? If Sony really sends Graf to prison over reverse engineering his PS3 then we really will see a cyber-war played out on sony networks. All sony needs to do is plea-bargain with Graf just like geohot and all this goes away. Otherwise, sending a young principled kid like Graf to prison is just begging for it.
GRAF BEGGED FOR IT. VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT SEND GRAF TO PRISON TO BE ANALLY RAPED BY REAL CRIMINALS
you ppl keep cheering these hackers on. its only a matter of time before they attack something you like and then it will be you crying.
Love how people think these hackers are the good guys. Until they steal your information. “Oh but it’s for the good of a cause–” bullshit. They’re dicking around on the internet like it’s their playground, and using their unrepentant anger in all of their lulz to justify the wrong. Besides, with hackers like this, the internet will change–and freedom of information will be different. The trolls have already shown us that they want a more secure, government sanctioned internet, where we can’t be free to do what we want, thanks to groups like Lulzsec and Anonops. The more chaos you make the more rules people want to put in place.
graf_chokolo? what a dumbass name… fuck all this dumb shit. youre all gay.
Graf has done so much for us. And as for the people who are affected by the attacks: Suck it up and open your eyes. These heroes are willing to stand up against a major corporation so a hardworking individual can live a normal life in the expense of a little luxury. People need to see that this man is actually standing up for what he believes in and will not sell himself out. Such actions deserve to be rewarded by those of the PS3 scene and regarded by the rest. Good luck.
what the FUCK has graf done for me. NOTHING BUT put in his fair change in taking sony away from me. i want sony i want its games its ps3 and vita I WANT IT. the attacks keep going and sony will be just a memory i dont want sony dead
Soo is this real… cuz i kinda wanna play black ops…. why does the website say defcon 5 but the servers r actually down?
Hackers say they stand for a cause, what by making everyone who’s a PS3 pay also??. Why dont you do something constructive. know that the universe has universal principles and laws in place (believe what you like), karma is real and it bites hard. Stop this rubbish before you get burned beyond belief.
Hacking and manipulating your PS3 is fine, playing around with it and finding out new things to expand your knowledge and abilities. But GeoHot eventually compromised the security of the PS3 system by publishing various details. He may not support piracy and he may not have had the original intention of doing so. But in the end he compromised the security by making various details public and must have known full well that this would lead to piracy. He seems more concerned about his e-penis. Sony removed the OtherOS function for this reason. There were no other beneficial reasons for doing so, in fact it ends up costing them more because of the categorisation of the device in the eyes of the state. It’s annoying that the OtherOS feature had to be traded up if you want to maintain access to the PSN but that’s the consequences of this guys actions and I genuinely feel sorry for those legitimate Linux users who wish to utilise the system or even hack the system on an ethical and responsible basis. Piracy has now ensued on the PS3 and Sony are sticking up for themselves which they absolutely have the right to do. I have a lot of respect for various hackers who want to stand up against certain things, but this is absolutely ridiculous and has no moralistic basis. It’s nothing more than people wanting stuff for nothing, people who just want to be a part of something, people who have a rebellious streak and primarily, mob mentality. Then there’s the millions of people the recent hacks disrupted who lost access to the PSN. Sony certainly could have protected the PSN better but the hackers still hold responsibility for doing it in the first place. The only good thing to come out of this is Sony have better security now but that was clearly not the intention of the hackers who carried this out. The intention was to be part of a gang.
McMitch — you are free to mod your console as you like behind closed doors. We do not have Firmware gestapos in the USA. When you publish a root key or publish HOW to reverse engineer something, then you violate laws and it doesn’t matter if you agree to Sony’s TOS. If you don’t like the way Sony does business then the free marketplace has you taken care of. There are alternatives to Sony in the marketplace. You are free to use them, but it’s not legal to run a hacking campaign against a company because you are technically talented and have an overinflated sense of ego. Seriously, no one cares about OtherOS (no one ever did). That is a flimsy reason at best to justify what has happened to Sony. You don’t like Sony — By Xbox 360 — problem solved in an adult manner. Anything else and you are just a cry baby, change your diaper, grow up, life sucks.
Did you read my post? I’m against the hacks that have been going on? Read it again as you’ve clearly browsed over it and took some parts in your favour. I take a balanced view and look at each element of the problem and judge element individually rather than generalising and being highly reactive. Yet you nitpick and make some assumption that suits your concept. And I’m not a hacker, I have no hacking experience and I only own a PS3. I’m not in favour of the hackers’ actions and I’ve made this clear.
My first post is in favour of hacking your console behind close doors for personal use and it initially sets a tone that I’m in favour of everything they do, though I AM NOT. If you bother to read beyond the first few words of each sentence then you may understand that I’m against the incidence in question… “”When you publish a root key or publish HOW to reverse engineer something, then you violate laws and it doesn’t matter if you agree to Sony’s TOS.”" …I know, I pretty much said this. “”Seriously, no one cares about OtherOS (no one ever did). That is a flimsy reason at best to justify what has happened to Sony.”" …I never used it as a reason to justify it, I said the removal of the feature was absolutely justified but I have enough brains to say some people may miss the feature rather than assume everyone in the world thinks like me and doesn’t care about it. “”You don’t like Sony — By Xbox 360 — problem solved in an adult manner. Anything else and you are just a cry baby, change your diaper, grow up, life sucks.”" …I never said I didn’t like Sony. Your accusations of immaturity should be backed up by the fact that you read my post thoroughly, which you clearly didn’t. “”If you don’t like the way Sony does business then the free marketplace has you taken care of. There are alternatives to Sony in the marketplace. You are free to use them, but it’s not legal to run a hacking campaign against a company because you are technically talented and have an overinflated sense of ego.”" I do like much of the way Sony do business. I am happy with Sony and do not seek an alternative. I think they also handled the situation very well; particularly the apology at the E3 Presser. But I do have to concede that they should have been better protected and as much as I do not agree with the hacking that occurred, positives can still come from a negative situation; and that positive is better security awareness; though I stated I think the hackers intent wasn’t better security awareness but a sense of mob mentality. I am technically talented in certain ways (thanks), but I have no idea how to hack a PlayStation. And I do have a very big ego, but I’m just too fucking modest and awesome to make it known. ..the last sentence is contradictive, ironic and sarcastic; just in case you need any help.
“The only good thing to come out of this is Sony have better security now” And they are going to get better and better every single time someone try to hack them. This is only the beginning. SONY will be a better & Stronger company thanks to this individuals. It doesnt matter how many times the PSN or SONY gets hacked. That only makes me support them even more. SONY, we are all with you. NEVER BACK DOWN !! ((By the way this should be a lesson for all the other companies that are not been attack “yet”. Today it is SONY tomorrow could be the anyone who doesnt agreed with these people. Things dont work like that))
Man I thought these hackers were smart guys. Sony doesn’t have the ability to put anyone in jail. They can only submit to the authorities that someone or a group participated in criminal acts against them. The courts are the ones that put people in jail. In America you are judged in the courts by your peers. This hacking group is saying they do not like due process and justice. How many more articles are people going to do about a bunch of pimple faced asshats that can’t seem to get laid? Seriously would your child’s temper tantrum be news? NO — so why is this? It’s the same goddamn thing. If you agree with these hackers you agree with lawlessness.
You should perfectly know that a good lawyer can make a cold blooded murderer innocent. Sony can afford a good lawyer, while graf can’t. Yes, I know, it’s life and it sucks, but I don’t find it morality-wise right.
Dukio, really, you shouldn’t allow these stupid fanboy faggots to comment, they aren’t intelligent enough >.<
i bet microsoft and/or apple is at least partially responsible for all this bullshit hacking so they can try to claim the video game market for themselves…the old adage is that the one(s) responsible are usually the one(s) with the most to gain…hence microsoft and/or apple.
just read the Terms of Agreement for PSN and than try to justify these hackers. They bought a machine, accepted the rules, than broke them, and are crying because Sony is punishing them. This happens with kids all the time. They get mad when they get caught doing wrong things.
Tired and Bored of all this crap. Maybe these children should spend more time educating themselves rather than wasting their time with the distribution illegible unintelligible nonsense. How can so many uneducated halfwits be so completely deluded with an assumption that they know what’s best, correct, true or false. You don’t speak for me as I can maintain a sense of intelligence far beyond your impotent capabilities even while blind drunk, stoned as a wall and tripping my tits off. Tired
HACKERS SUCK THERE MOMMYS TIT AND WAH WAH WAH ALL THE WAY TO PRISION IF YOU LOSERS DON’T LIKE SONY TO FUCKING BAD GO PLAY GAMES ON UR XBOXES WII s AND useless COMPUTERS HAVE A NICE LIFE IN PRISION LAME ASS WHORES
As much as I do want this guy to rot in prison, Sony is being pretty stupid here…instead of throwing him in jail, hire him to help you to secure your network further so these things like this do not occur again!
that is dishonorable. the guy attacked sony. if i was sony i would have kicked his ass and send him off. i wont be a hackers little bitch. i refuse to let hackers get their way. the idiot hacked sony i wouldnt hire him. i wouldnt be able to trust him. and hes a useless criminal in my eyes. off to jail he goes
LMFAO. I may take this idiot serious if he learned how to spell and use punctuation.
60 comments and 59 are worshipping Sony’s TOS! What the hell?? Go lick your lollipops on Sony’s official site. I bet you put an apple on your teachers desk every morning to.
