La comunidad hacker organizada de aquella manera y conocida como Anonymous vuelve a tener como objetivo a Sony, después de que la compañía se comprometiera en su apoyo al SOPA Stop Online Piracy Act). Anonymous reclamó la autoría del ataque que dejó K.O. la PlayStation Network durante varias semanas la primavera pasada, pero este mensaje está dirigido a Sony en su totalidad, en lugar de limitarse únicamente a la división PlayStation.
Hello, SONY.
We are Anonymous.
It has come to the attention of the Anonymous activist community that you have chosen to stand by the Stop Online Piracy Act. This act will halt online businesses and restrict access to many sites for many users. Supporting SOPA is like trying to throw an entire company from off a bridge. Your Support to the act is a signed death warrant to SONY Company and Associates. Therefore, yet again, we have decided to destroy your network. We will dismantle your phantom from the internet. Prepare to be extinguished. Justice will be swift, and it will be for the people, whether some like it or not. Sony, you have been warned.
To those doubting our powers. We've infiltrated the servers of Bank of America, The United States Department of Defense, The United Nations, and Lockheed Martin. In one day.
For their approval to SOPA, we have also declared that our fury be brought upon the following persons. Justin Bieber. Lady Gaga. Kim Kardashian. and Taylor Swift.
Operation Blackout, engaged.
Operation Mayhem, engaged.
Operation LulzXmas, engaged.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Supporters of SOPA, you should've expected us.
Algunos podrían tener a Anonymous, o a los individuos que forman parte activa de estas iniciativas, como los Robin Hood de la era digital, mientras que otros cuestionan sus métodos y podrían verlos como los abusones digitales. Sea como fuere, han conseguido captar la atención del público y de los medios.
