Anonymous announced their intent to attack Sony websites in response to Sony's lawsuit against George Hotz and, specifically due to Sony's gaining access to the IP addresses of all the people who visited George Hotz' blog as part of the libel action, terming it an 'offensive against free speech and internet freedom'[160][161] Although Anonymous admitted responsibility to subsequent attacks on the Sony websites, Anonymous branch AnonOps denied that they were the cause behind a major outage of the Playstation Network in April 2011. However, as Anonymous is a leaderless organisation, the possibility remains that another branch of the group is responsible for the outage.[162][163]
