For those who have had some issues with PSN or Sony's websites the last day or two, Anonymous revealed they are attacking Sony's web services as a counter to Sony's recent fight against piracy.
Specifically, Anonymous biggest complaint and reason for the attacks against Sony comes from the recent victory in court allowing Sony to get information and IPs of anyone who either has donated to Geohot or visited his website regardless of reason. Weeks earlier, Sony had threatened to sue Paypal and a few others if they continued to provide customer service to him.
The group also warned Sony that this was only the first attack and it could get worse if Sony continues going after everyone else not related to the Geohot group.
Officially, Sony claims the downtime was due to "maintenance" and never referenced the web attacks. PSN and other Sony websites have either been restored back to normal or keep experiencing sporadic service.
