I would never see Sony in the same way again
the tl;dw version:
> Geohot "hacked" their system to install linux / do anything people would like to do, excep piracy
> Sony sued Geohot for doing that, saying that it will open up to piracy
> Sony update firmware to not allow people to do what Geohot did
> Sony won't let Geohot to update any of his activities regarding "hacking" Sony in a pulic anymore
> Sony asked Youtube, Twitter, etc for data regarding Geohot and his viewers/commenters
> Hackers were so mad at Sony, they unified their attack to Sony
> PSN down for around 4 weeks
> Hackers claimed that they didn't attack it. If there is an attack, possibly there was another hacker, outside their unified attack
> PSN data stolen, including credit and debit card, and any other personal information
> Sony sued for the data breach
> Sony were criticized for not encrypting user data
> Sony offer 2 games to each PS user as the PSN down gift
> Some hackers were captured
it just, wow. I would not use sony anymore man. I am just going to groove with my linux machine and playing games available in itch io or gog. Good bye capitalist.
