Graf_Chokolo, one of the developers of PS3 homebrew, may soon be heading to jail and a new hacking group has emerged out of the woodwork as a result. Dubbing themselves "Unknown", they are threatening to launch a massive hack against Sony, specifically targeting the PSN.

Hello,
We wanted to contact Graf, first know that you have our support, we are a team that shall remain nameless, we never, ever made piracy network as is done in recent times . But in light of your circumstances we will review our principles we find scandalous the way Sony treats you, ready to send you to jail just for a misplaced pride and make an example.

    If true, every single one of the hackers involved deserves to rot in the deepest depths of hell.

    This trend of hacking is going to land a lot of idiots in jail eventually...

    I'm not exactly sure what their beef is to begin with. You can't hack and distribute something that could potentially cost a company millions. Sure consumers like free stuff but it's not the way this works. They spend money making and developing the products so they can be bought fairly.

    ...gonna feel like such a hypocrit using p2p later.

    they say their sole target is Sony again. I swear hackers have an IQ below 70, which makes them mentally retarded. If this ever comes to pass, which I doubt will ever occur, this will not only hurt Sony or Sony customers, but it will hurt an entire industry. They are defending rights that they made up. the problem with extreme liberal people like this is that they think they know the law, but really dont know shit, which is why they are always caught...
