Beijing time May 5 Evening News, a well-known hacker organization Anonymous issued a statement today, denied that the Sony PlayStation Network has any involvement in the invasion. Sony recently announced that its PlayStation Network, qriocity music service and Sony Online Entertainment gaming services were hacked, the number of affected users around the world more than 100 million, their home address, e-mail, birthday, username and password information, etc.  Even the details of the credit card have been stolen by hackers. In Wednesday, Sony hinted that the incident was related to the hacking organization Anonymous.  Sony said its Sony Online entertainment company in Sunday found a file called "Anonymous" on the server, which contains "We are the Ancient Roman Legion", that is, one of Anonymous's slogans.  Anonymous then issued a 900-word statement saying that it had nothing to do with the attack on the Sony PlayStation Network, nor did it steal credit card information from users, anonymous previously launched attacks for purely political purposes. Anonymous launched an attack against MasterCard and Visa card companies last December that led to the temporary closure of the two credit card companies ' websites.  Anonymous was in retaliation for the two credit card companies ' moratorium on providing payment services to WikiLeaks. "Anonymous never steals credit card information from others, and our corporate and government rivals don't, they often lie to the public," Anonymous said in a statement. The theft of credit card information is not consistent with our usual style, and it is not supported by the public, and we will fight this crime. "Sony also said that when the PlayStation Network was attacked, Sony engineers were coping with a massive denial of service attack from Anonymous, which distracted the Sony engineers, making it difficult or impossible for them to discover other attacks,  Anonymous in the statement did not comment on this. But Anonymous said in a statement: "If the case is conducted in a legitimate and honest investigation, they will surely find anonymous without any responsibility, and our leaders will not condone the theft of credit card information." "According to analysts, Sony said that hackers who hacked its servers deleted log files to hide their attacks, and from that point of view, if Anonymous were attackers, they could not leave a text file with the words" Anonymous ".
