Ive been seeing this story on many news sites and it can be misleading.

its suppedely 3 big members of anon. Now the confusion comes in when they say attacked sony. Was that the first ddos attacks or the lulzsec attacks (needs to be clarified).

Also if it was the ddos attacks then as i understand anon uses volinatary computers for attacks. meaning any member could have helped in the attacks since its a combined ddos attack. That really does not mean they got the people who led or set it all up and to what level they even played.

In short this may be 3 people who went out drinking that night when anon hit sony and since their computers where connected to the anon program they helped in the attack.

Its really kinda confusing but this could be not as big as its being made out to be. Then again they may have just nabbed 3 top anon guys. That has not be clarified yet. But the bigger question is??? are any of them from lulzsec?? Or even odder is the fact anon says they did not hack psn, lulzsec claims they didnt do anything to gamers and they where mad at sony over music, which may lead to a 3rd group.
