Sony answers questions proposed by Congress, mentions Anonymous by name
Last week The Subcommittee on Commerce Manufacturing and Trade sent a letter to Kazuo Hirai, chairman of the board of directors at SCEA, asking for answers related to the PSN security breach. Hirai responded to Congress’ 13 questions with a letter of his own that is dated May 3, 2011. Hirai explained how things transpired day by day, and what it is doing to prevent this kind of thing from ever happening again.

The Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade from the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to Sony today asking for some answers regarding the security breach. More specifically, the subcommittee addressed the letter to Kaz Hirai, the chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment. The letter is comprised of 13 questions that the subcommittee wants answered “no later than May 6.” That gives Sony one week to get its story and facts straight before Congress gets upset.

WARNING: Excessive exposure to violent video games and other violent media has been linked to aggressive behavior.
I thought it was funny. At first…
