There are seriously rival hacker groups cyber-battling to shut down v. keep open Microsoft and Sony’s worldwide online video game networks. Anonymously, without pay, because they want to. So that the masses can have their holiday fun. Outages cost millions of dollars to consumers paying for service they’re not getting, and to Sony and MS in lost sales due to their systems being down. This handful of anonymous volunteer hackers have a significant impact on corporate profits, and in many cases the hackers are more effective than corporate security teams. We are practically living in William Gibson’s future
