Sony is quickly preparing to return the PlayStation Network to active status after an attack took down the
network and compromised user accounts two weeks ago. As it does, more information is surfacing on the
identity of the culprits behind the attack.

Infamous hacker group Anonymous has been suspected as the likely attacker, but the group has denied
involvement. On Friday, members of Anonymous disclosed, in statements made to the Financial Times,
that one or more members of the anarchic collective were involved in the takedown.

Evidence seems to suggest that the Anonymous members who left breadcrumbs of their exploit on
PlayStation servers may have been operating as a small anti-Sony faction within the larger group. This
would explain Anonymous’s very public denials.

“An individual or handful of supporters of Anonymous’ well-publicised operation to disrupt Sony services
– dubbed OpSony – went further than the rest of the free-speech campaigners expected when they broke
into the electronics company’s network and stole account details, according to one person within the
group,” reads the account.

An Anonymous hacker going by the handle Kayla told the Financial Times, “If you say you are
Anonymous, and do something as Anonymous, then Anonymous did it … Just because the rest of
Anonymous might not agree with it, doesn’t mean Anonymous didn’t do it.”

Meanwhile, those responsible are said be preparing an another attack against Sony’s website. The attack
could come as soon as this weekend, according to a CNET report, and may be more devastating than the
last to victims. The hackers have indicated that they’ve already obtained access to Sony servers and intend
to publish customer names, credit card numbers and addresses copied in the breach.
