A PROPER RECAP OF EVENTS SO FAR (sorry for the caps, but just so people see and we don't have a thousand different news reports of random shit):
So a guy by the name of FamedGod (
https://twitter.com/FamedGod) DDOS's PSN in the name of proving that Sony has shite security still. Then a group of fools named the Lizard Squad (
https://twitter.com/LizardSquad ) decide to take credit and take it a step further by threatening that there's a bomb on the American Airlines flight of SOE CEO John Smedley. As a result his flight is rerouted and now sits on the tarmac being inspected (

Well Anonymous (
https://twitter.com/W0rIdPeace) comes to the aid of PSN and AA, telling people that they're working to get PSN up and assuring AA that there is no bomb on the plane. In the mean time FamedGod finds out that LizardSquad has taken credit for his attack and proceeds to release the IPs of all of Lizard Squads members. Anon then tracks the IP of the Twitter account to Washington, DC and now everyone's just waiting to see what the hell is going to happen. Edit: The update so far is that LS is still tweeting out ISIS flags and Jihad hashtags while the FBI is, ostensibly, monitoring the plane inspection in Phoenix.
I should add that Federal Authorities are now involved because of the bomb threat and the ISIS flag being flown. So there's a group of morons out there who are probably going to be enjoying a steaming hot cup of FBI pretty soon.
UPDATE (before I head off to work): LS's Twitter is replying to people, still taunting Smeds and the FBI, acting as though they're ISIS soldiers doing all this from Iraq. No updates from Smed, Anon or FG. But we do know that the FBI is involved and at some point a lot of people are going to be tracking down LS in connection with what's happened with the AA flight. I'll try and update from work if I can, but I'm sure there's going to be a lot more coming.
