No if it's to do with Anonymous it'll be over the George Hotz case. Since they demanded the details of anyone who even VIEWED the data (in other words, Sony acted like dicks to people who haven't done anything but might have seen the information on how to do it and basically said they were going to sue theoutta them all) Either way, it came down to the whole idea that Sony basically said you don't actually own your PS3, they do. You're kinda renting it (damn thats a hefty "rental" price tag considering the price of the games too) according to their words. However that flies in the face of you brought the console not rented it and therefore the hacker collective Anonymous ended up involved like they have in every other recent "infringement" of their rights and liberties threatening to take it's PSN down with hacking. However Anonymous after much bad press on the situation and Sony saying they were going to "upgrade it (the psn) and it'd be sporadically up and down" decided against punishing every PS3 owner worldwide to punish Sony and that there were other options.
Now there's 3 possible outcomes here:
1) Anonymous changed their minds for the lulz and hacked the PSN after all. Even though they have claimed no responsibility for the hack.
2) Someone is trying to make it look like Anonymous did by hacking it themselves. This could be Sony even
3) Someone else hacked it for other purposes or to prove how easily it could be done.
