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.

Gossip How do they not get caught? Its crazy.
It is pretty crazy that they do all of this and do not get caught. But, they are going keep it up and eventually get caught and jailed.

Axe Why would someone even joke about that kind of stuff... That could get him a prison sentence if he ever got caught.
They do it for the fun of it I guess. They like the pure enjoyment.

Lizard Squad seem very confident they are not going to get caught but I'm sure they will make one silly move and not cover their tracks and they'll go down like a ton of bricks. I'm enjoying all of this tho, it's fun to see it unfold! haha!
