Hackers will soon cry when the governments all step in and start controlling the Internet.
They seem to be targetting the gaming culture at the moment, won't be long....

They have zero interest in the "gaming culture." Why not look into the political motivation for why they might target Sony. [rolleyes] The rest have merely been fallout from people folks looking for laughs and their 5 minutes of fame.

And unless every government takes over ever bandwidth carrier in the world, there isn't any such thing as "controlling the internet." In places such as China, sure. The rest of the world? Not likely... if they tried to control every facet of communication like that, they would experience the same fires erupting throughout the middle east.

Also, it's not like tens, if not hundreds of thousands of attempted network intrusions aren't made on a daily basis... and have been for years on end, without the govt stepping in.

Just because some folks would rather have the govt shepherd them and "take care of them" doesn't mean the rest of the world wants it. These are private corporations... if they have an issue with intruders, they need to ramp up their security to address it; not ask someone else to do it for them... which will NEVER stomp out the problem.
