SONY vs. Unknown Anonymous war continue!?

This week (May 8, 2011) lot of articles regarding the Sony PSN or related news floating around the net saying the PSN restoration delayed, Sony security outdated and more... But one of them was found from CNET news is about the hacker's next attack on Sony. According to CNET, A group of hackers says it is planning another wave of cyberattacks against Sony in retaliation for its handling of the PlayStation Network breach. It seems that anonymous hackers is not letting Sony peace at this moment.

The people involved plan to publicize all or some of the information they are able to copy from Sony's servers, which could include customer names, credit card numbers, and addresses, according to the source. The hackers claim they currently have access to some of Sony's servers.

Should the planned attack succeed, it would be the latest blow in a series of devastating security breaches of Sony's servers over the past month. The failure of Sony's server security has ignited investigations by the FBI, the Department of Justice, Congress, and the New York State Attorney General, a well as data security and privacy authorities in the U.K., Canada, and Taiwan.

Sony says it doesn't know who orchestrated what it's calling a "highly sophisticated, planned" attack, but it has dropped hints that the group Anonymous is involved. Kazuo Hirai, chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment, told a Congressional subcommittee in a letter yesterday that the intruders on its servers planted a file named "Anonymous" containing the statement "We are Legion," part of the group's tagline.

Anonymous issued a statement yesterday denying it was involved in the PSN breach. "While we are a distributed and decentralized group, our 'leadership' does not condone credit card theft," the statement said.

Now looks like the same group of hackers that was able to break in the PSN servers is planning to hit back against Sony. They are not the official "Anonymous" group, but still naming "Anonymous", that's what we can call them now.

Good luck Sony.

Super Mario 3D will use Gyro Sensor but no StreetPass

According to British newspaper, The Telegraph, we now also know that it will use the 3DS’ gyro-sensors in some manner and that there are currently no plans for the title to include StreetPass functionality. These details come straight from the horse’s mouth — that of Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto.

"Sometimes people ask why the 3DS isn’t double stick," Miyamoto said to reporters in the U.K., during a recent interview, providing some insight into the 3DS' hardware design. "One is normally used to control the camera, but having the gyro sensor you can replace the analogue stick by moving the console, which is very intuitive." He confirmed that Super Mario 3D will make use of the gyro sensor, but didn’t outright reveal how.

Miyamoto also stated that, "unless a spectacular idea comes to mind," Super Mario 3D won't use the 3DS' StreetPass features.

Introducing - Shadow of the Damned

Shadows of the Damned (PS3/X360) - Developer Diary


From the creative genius of Suda 51 (No More Heroes) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil) comes an all-new psychologically twisted vision of hell unlike anything seen before. Shadows of the Damned combines visceral action with dark, grotesque horror to create a mind-shattering adventure that has to been seen to be believed.

Play style is like Resident Evil 4, you will need to expose enemy's weakness with lighting instead of just shooting their head or core. The monsters and weapons as showing in the video above design are cool and creative. Overall seems good.

Here's another earlier trailer of the game:
