Article.

I know these guys think they're "fighting against the man", but not only is this way over the line, but they're simply speeding up new draconian policies and practices in the corporate IT world.

Eh, so far they're just collecting information.  I'll hold my judgement until we see what they do with those details.

You must not have read the whole article:
QUOTE
The site reports that SonyRecon has already uncovered personal details of senior Sony employees - including group executive Robert Wiesenthal - and is distributing them on the net. Other targets identified include Nicole Seligman, executive VP and general counsel for Sony, and CEO Howard Stringer.

SonyRecon outlined a number of ways in which stolen information could be used "to mess with the target", including sending STD e-postcards warning recipients that a former partner had a sexually transmitted disease.


And please don't forget another recent Anonymous attack where they posted a company's email database online and made it easily searchable. They didn't bother to remove anything from the database to protect innocent workers either.

I'm all about them being out there to protest certain corporate moves, but to throw all these innocent people under the bus isn't right.

Fuck Sony.  Crucify the bastards.  Their dumb-assery has needed a solid foot up the ass for a while now.

Again, that might be, but the tactics being used are very short sighted and over the line. People who busted their ass for years to become a minor executive don't deserve to be publicly smeared because of a decision they had nothing to do with let alone low paid employees.

Yeah, it'd be nice to use a scalpel instead of a claymore.  Most folk don't realize how much of a pain it is to be a vigilante.

The real question is: which party is going to be the one to pull the trigger and which is going to spin the fuck out of it?

I'm getting to the point where I'd almost pledge my allegiance to someone that actually gives a fuck what their balance sheet looks like at the end of the year.   How much money gets yanked out of my paychecks every year and pissed away?  Fucking Scrooge McDuck has better economic sense.

You must not have read the whole article:

Nothing in your quote is an action.  It's collecting and distributing information and discussing possibilities.  There's an important difference between saying a thing and doing a thing.
