Maybe they're in contract with an 'other' company who can benefit from these attacks? Those users who will shift from Sega, Sony, or any other company will of course find a better and secure online system. I see Microsoft unhindered by those hackers...

Well Lulzsec have stated they aren't responsible for this one, but still, they're going all out until they get caught.

Admittedly the Tupac article they published after they took down PBS was pretty funny.
