I would actually be curious how much of this is recourse for Geohot, although there's probably no possible way of empirically finding out. That said, I'd be willing to bet that "people who hack Sony to protest Geohot" and "people who hack Sony to steal other people's credit cards" are two different camps. As to the Sony being "down", I'd contend they are. Their reputation for security is in the shitter, and any hacks executed now are going to have a far greater effect than they would at any other time (again, I doubt things like this or the Thailand hack would have ever made news sites in any fashion before the PSN outage).
