The hacker group claiming responsibility for today's PlayStation Network outage sent a bomb threat, via Twitter, about an American Airlines flight carrying Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley. Smedley has confirmed he is on the flight and that it was diverted for security reasons.

"Something about security and our cargo. Sitting on Tarmac," Smedley tweeted. Polygon has reached out to representatives of Sony Computer Entertainment America, SOE and the Federal Aviation Administration for additional comment.

What is the purpose of targeting Mr Smedley?

Literally just to inconvinence him because he works for Sony it seems. Gives you an idea of the age of the people who did it, lol.

Script Kiddies ...

They might have gone too far this time.. they might actually get caught and charged with this kind of shenanigans. That is a hell of a lot of police and FBI time wasted on the plane incident.

[Scarlett.]

Definately, SOE have told Kotaku that the FBI are now involved, there's no way those involved aren't going to get caught now, lol.

It wouldn't be so bad if they actually had a cause, but most of these attacks are just for the LOLs.
