Hacker bomb threat diverts flight carrying Sony Online president
"Something about security and our cargo. Sitting on Tarmac," Smedley tweeted.
An American Airlines spokesperson confirmed to The Arizona Republic that Flight 362 was diverted for security reasons. KPNX-TV also reported the FBI was investigating the threat.
Earlier this afternoon, the hacker group that says it brought down PSN tweeted the threat to American Airlines' account. A tweet while the flight was airborne (and since taken down) also contained a link appearing to show an e-Ticket for Smedley's flight, with a confirmation number, asking Smedley and Sony if this was indeed his flight. The hackers continued to tweet threats about the flight.

Don't see what the user was planning to do with the bomb threat. Pretty stupid to just tweet that for others to see.

MVPapi From cyber terrorism to actual terrorism in a week haha, some kids take their video games and computers way too seriously lol, killing anyone or even threatening them just because you don't like the product that they're slightly involved with making, that's when you need to re-evaluate your life and everything it stands for, as well as stop talking to the voices in your head
very well worded and said, sir.
