Has anyone noticed all of the recent cyber attacks mainly on gaming sites or game companies? First the big PSN hack then there were attacks on Epic Games, Nintendo, Sega, Bethesda, Eve online, Codemasters, Minecraft, etc etc... Discuss! Hopefully no one hacks NS cause I'll cry.

The amount of attacks aren't really increasing. It's just the media and the groups themselves publicizing them.

Yes, the petty attacks by Lulz Sec and anonymous are on the rise, but 90% of the time they're just doing DDoS attacks.

But in total, the attacks, like on Lockhead Martin and google and etc, aren't on the rise really.
