Also, not sure if you read this, but it now has a significant update
that anyone covering Trapwire at all needs to see:

No problems with that "delay", Sir, that was very quick!

Thanks for that comment. It'll probably end up being part of a sort analysis piece at cso.com.au in a few hours from now, but either way I'll email you a direct link when its published,

Cheers,

Sorry for delay, last 72 hours have been crazy due to this issue. These "we didn't do this" proclamations have been done at least three or four times before. They usually mean that the people don't know the people involved via IRC or whatever else (or just don't know they did it), or they don't like it.

I don't write releases for Anon anymore, not entirely sure who did this one (and sometimes it's collaborative, upwards of 10 people occasionally via typewith.me and our alternatives). One sec, will get back to you.

Hi Barrett,

Just a quick request for an on-record comment, if I may?

I'm confused by this media release just received. I thought the whole point was that anyone count participate in the name Anonymous, and there was no leadership to say who was and wasn't part of it. So how can there be a "This was not us" statement?

I get that the attacker claiming to be the leader is a lie. But...

Cheers,

Stil

Anonymous Press Release - We Did NOT Hack Sony

Thursday - August 16, 2012 2:30 PM ET USA


   Greetings Sony --

   Two days ago a claim was made that your beloved Play Station Network
had been breached (yet again). This was quite odd to us, concerning
the release you made to rectify such claims of said attacks. i.e. this
release here
http://www.forbes.com/sites/adriankingsleyhughes/2012/08/16/no-sonys-playstation-network-wasnt-hacked-again/

   So, we did some research.

   Note: The attacker claims he is the leader of Anonymous. This is
simply a blatant lie.

   Note: Anybody with the ability to again, "hack", Sony, would at least
have the decency to use spell-check.

   Note: "Contact me at anon@prvt.org for the full database"
   - How can we do this when your domain is officially parked?
http://prvt.org/

   After our extensive research, we discovered another attack on Universe
Security, and we literally mean the exact same evidence has been
presented in both cases.

   See: http://pastebin.com/hhU8Q9di for the REAL attack.
   See the date, 2012-03-19 11:28:32 >> first attack on Universe Security?

   Now look at the one from a few days ago, which has effectively drowned
out the initial evidence. http://pastebin.com/HUjZPaF3 >> Notice the
date:  AUG 14TH, 2012 ???

   The first attack is the real one. Remember, many will falsify
documents for attention and a reaction as well as fame.

   We did not buy into such claims and neither should you nor the public.
   We have discovered this attack to be invalid.
   The data released is very real, mind you.
   We have discovered the attacker is not who he says he is.
   We urge Sony and all of the world to remain vigilant, yet we realize
that there will indeed be more of these so-called breaches that steal
the credit of another.

Anonymous did NOT hack Sony again, nor did we ever claim we had. This
claim is a hoax perpetrated by a "troll". You have been duped. As we have
in the past, we encourage you to follow many different Anonymous media
communications channels and consult those before publishing any claims
made in the name of Anonymous: @YourAnonNews @AnonPR_Network
@AnonCollective @PLF2012

   Sail safe.

   We are Anonymous.
   We are Legion.
   We do not forgive.
   We do not forget.
   Expect us.
