MY details will have been sold by then though so it only really helps Sony.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't it this type of bullish behaviour that started it all with Geohot, they said they would "hunt him down" which resulted in Anonymous attacking them now they come out with the same thing with these attackers, I can't be the only one that see's this as another invitation and they will be hacked harder and larger than ever.
At the end of the day, like Jay states, this isn't here nor there in the eyes of the customers who have lost their data, Sony need to focus on actually fixing their faults before they go stirring it up again with more hackers. If it was that easy to bring down PSN and the rumours are true of the data being held in plain text and singular strings then it's not going to take long before we see this again.

The thing is, Geohat actually had some reasonable point in what he was doing. If i'm right it was more about hacking the console itself for homebrew (and ultimately piracy), which is something that is respected and well supported within the internet community, an on 4chan etc.
Taking down PSN just to show that it's possible is also "respected" amongst the community, its something that I think it seen as "sticking it to sony" etc.
Stealing personal details and selling them on however, and even worse - CC details..that is frowned upon immensely and goes against the entire point of what "anonymous" have ever done.
So no, I don't think we'll see a backlash for the internet community on this in terms of another hack/takedown attempt, at least not yet. It's actually more likely imo that the criminals who have stolen and sold the details will be tracked down by "anonymous" and turned in.
I don't want you to hunt them down. I want you to understand the term: SECURITY.

From bad to worse...
