if you would just READ their is no "on behalf of the users" they are doing this to profit from everyone and have no motive to "help" the consumer by getting into sonys network. Anonymous already stated they have nothing to do with this (they are the ones who hacked into PSN and said their motive was to teach sony a lesson for the consumer)
your confusing the grey hat hackers with the black hat hackers

PlayStation(R)Network
===================================
Valued PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity Customer:
We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011,
certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account
information was compromised in connection with an illegal and
unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this
intrusion, we have:
1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;
2) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full
and complete investigation into what happened; and
3) Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our
network infrastructure by rebuilding our system to provide you
with greater protection of your personal information.
We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill
as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and
efficiently as practicable.
Although we are still investigating the details of this incident,
we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following
information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country,
email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login,
and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data,
including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip),
and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may
have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your
dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have
been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit
card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have
provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity,
out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit
card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have
been obtained.
For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email,
telephone and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive
information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email,
asking for your credit card number, social security number or other
personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information,
you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation
Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that
you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation
Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or
accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them as well.
To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we
encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and
to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information
for those who wish to consider it:
- U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually
from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report,
visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.
- We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S.
credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus
place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps
to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can
make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however,
that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you,
it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your
identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others
are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a
fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report,
please contact any one of the agencies listed below:
Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013
Equifax: 800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241

www.consumer.gov/idtheft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about how to protect
yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may also have advice
on preventing identity theft, and you should report instances of known or
suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State Attorney General,
and the FTC. For North Carolina residents, the Attorney General can be
contacted at 9001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-9001; telephone

General can be contacted at 200 St. Paul Place, 16th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202;

We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this
incident, and we regret any inconvenience. Our teams are working around the
clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes
information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that
additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information.
Providing quality and secure entertainment services to our customers is
our utmost priority. Please contact us at 1-800-345-7669 should you have any

Just because Anonymous denies they hacked means that they definitely had to no part in this? Not saying the Anonymous group as a whole is in charge of hacking our info, but couldn't someone daring enough in the group do it on his own time? I don't get how there is no relation to the two hacks that happen oh so close to eachother timewise.. I'm not attacking either, just speculation...Comment

Anonymous did attack the playstation network a while ago. They stopped, citing that it was hurting the users/gamers which was not there goal. In fact they stated they are fighting for the consumer/user/gamer. They have denied any involvement. It just doesn't fit their agenda to hack the network and steal all the user info.
From what I have read, Anonymous' original attack was a Denial of Service attack which is typically doing something to consume majority or all of a servers resources so that it can not respond or is unavailable for its typical use. The hack Sony just experienced seems to be more of a security breach or intrusion into their network. The methods don't really match up.
Could one of them have gone rogue and done this on their own, sure. But you cant really blame the whole group for one persons actions.Comment

those guys can take the high road all they want. But they are the ones who opened the door for all the assholes out there
its like they broke into someones house to prove they could. But forgot to close the door on there way out and as a bonus left up a big sign that said LOOTERS WELCOMEComment

I was editting my previous post adding this but I'll throw it in again...

This is only what I'm reading so theres always a chance its not accurate. Is what Anonymous does/did in the past right, absolutely not, but unless the method they used to DoS PSN earlier opened up the door for this breach, I don't really see a connection (as a group).Comment

Like I said before, you can only trust a hacker as far as you can throw them.

I posted some speculation about the breach earlier that seems to make the most sense out of everything I've read. The Cliffs Notes are as follows:
There is an app that runs on jailbroken systems that essentially masks the PS3 as a dev console and gives access to PSN's dev network. Now, Sony apparently didn't have security measures in place on their dev network, like credit card authorization or encryption on user accounts. That's supposedly how these guys were able to steal games from PSN and access the personal information of PSN users.Comment
