There's absolutely no real evidence that the same people who DDOS'd PSN in support of Hotz (Anonymous) also stole the credit card numbers (unknown group). There's a text file on a server that claims it's from Anonymous but that's not real proof. The author is buying into Sony's storyline and helping to tar supporters of Hotz with the stain of the hackers who stole credit card numbers. It's misguided at best and dangerous at worst, perpetuating the myth that Anonymous is actually out to do real harm to relatively blameless people when they actually seek to avoid that kind of disproportionate damage. I'd rather not see the DDOS nipped in the bud by criminal statutes when it has a decent claim to being a legitimate form of speech that should be protected.
