The hacking community doesn't take lightly on Sony's legal actions against hackers, so it appears that hackers have united and are ready to strike out at Sony. War between Sony and hackers are still on going and have been so for some time, and after Sony took legal actions against George Hotz, also known as Geohot, and Graf_Chokolo, it appears that hackers have been taking action against Sony lately.

Infamous hacking group called Anonymous has issued a warning to Sony, saying that they will take actions against them in the near future since they have violated freedom of speech of Hotz and Graf_Chokolo. It didn't take long for Anonymous to start their DDoS attack at Sony's websites, and several of them were offline due to attack. So far, Sony is still investigating this attack, and its considering the possibility of a third party attack, but there's no evidence to connect Anonymous to this attack, except their previous warning.
