It appears that hacking group Anonymous has stepped up its campaign against Sony, just a day after it successfully attacked and brought down PlayStation.com and Sony.com after claiming that what Sony is doing in their lawsuit against GeoHot is wrong.
The hacking group has apparently spawned a little team calling themselves "SonyRecon", according to PlayStation LifeStyle. Said team have begun finding out information about Sony employees, as this post, made by a member, shows:
"Ok I made a chan #sonyrecon for people to gather and contribute dox, and work towards a common goal of finding and information and detailing useful targets. Some one got the phone number of the head of the Sony company in #sonyrecon."
Sony's Group Executive of Sony Corporation has also been targeted, with his family history being released onto the Internet for public viewing -- which includes information such as his home address, education, marital status and whether or not he has children.
Also, one rather disturbing comment which was discovered saw an Anonymous member complaining “No one found ANY info on Stringer's kids?” Howard Stringer is the CEO of Sony Corporation.
SonyRecon's supposed founder and leader, "randomtask", told members that "Sony,the judge and Sony's lawyers are all valid targets."
It's also been reported that Sony's lawyers had their official website taken down also, although the site seems fine now.
