Hackers bring down Sony.com and Playstation.com, the war starts
Speaking on a IRC chat a group of Anonymous are currently attacking several Sony sites. At the moment both Sony.com and PlayStation.com (including the PlayStation Store over PC) are down, presumably due to a DDoS attack – a distributed denial-of-service attack. People involved in the attack, called “OpSony” are asking that hackers “crash all server of sony please”. (Update - Some people can connect to Sony.com, but the site is extremely slow).
Update 2: The PSN is also experiencing intermittent connection issues for numerous gamers. (Sony have said that the “PSN currently undergoing sporadic maintenance. Access to the PSN may be interrupted throughout the day. We apologize for any inconvenience.”)
In a document detailing some members plans for the attack, other sites targeted include sonypictures.co.uk and sony-europe.com, which are currently up.
Several members have also stated that the “Operation isnt over until sony do a press release”.
Sony has yet to comment on the attacks. PlayStation LifeStyle will keep you updated as the situation develops.

iPatobo Wow.
They are one of two things,
1 - Extremely large/powerful group of hackers.
2 - Great hackers but not thinking about the consistences.
Either way,this is impressive.
