Anonymous Says It Won’t Be Found Liable For PSN Attack

The timing of the threats from the hacktivist group Anonymous and the attack on the Playstation Network seem to conveniently suggest their responsibility. Even worse, a file was discovered on one of the Sony Online Entertainment servers named Anonymous and bared the cryptic phrase
“We are Legion”.

So how do you shut off a whole nation's Internet?
MIT experts say it depends on ISP ownership, and doubt it'd happen in U.S.
TechNewsDaily 
To silence dissidents, the Egyptian government made a move Thursday that has no precedent: It turned off the Internet nationwide. How did they do it — and could the same thing happen here?
According to David Clark, an MIT computer scientist whose research focuses on Internet architecture and development, a government's ability to control the Internet depends on its control of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the private sector companies that grant Internet access to customers.
"ISPs have direct control of the Internet, so what happens in any country depends on the control that the state has over those ISPs," Clark told Life's Little Mysteries in an e-mail. "Some countries regulate the ISPs much more heavily. China has in the past 'turned off' the Internet in various regions."
When a government orders the ISP to disable service, Clark explained, "they have lots of ways of doing it technically. They could power down devices (which is sort of like unplugging things), or change the routing tables (which is more like a "digital kill," and can serve to allow selective services to stay up)."

Hotz competed in the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, a science competition for high school students, where his project, entitled "I want a Holodeck", received awards and prizes in several categories.[37] Hotz has received considerable attention in mainstream media, including interviews on the Today Show, Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS, G4, ABC,[38] CNBC,[39] and articles in several magazines, newspapers, and websites, including Forbes,[40] and BBC.[41]
The Forbes article said Hotz hopes to go into Neuroscience: "hacking the brain," he called it. In March 2008, PC World magazine listed George as one of the top 10 Overachievers under 21.[42] He entered the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2007, quickly after gaining notoriety for hacking the iPhone, but withdrew from the school after 1 quarter. In December 2007, Hotz travelled to Sweden to attend the Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar and talk about his 3D imaging invention (called Project Holodeck) that netted him a $20,000 Intel scholarship earlier that year.[43] In 2008 he worked at Google as an intern, on the Google Street View project.[citation needed]

After wreaking a bit of hacking havoc on the Internet and getting national attention for it, hacker group Lulzsec Friday suddenly announced on Twitter the group would be disbanding. However, the group decided to dump a significantly large BitTorrent data pile upon departure, which includes a number of documents from AT&T. Among the leaked documents was a number of phone numbers, but the documents also contained information concerning AT&T's upcoming LTE network build.
