On the Halo series page at Wikipedia, an edit originated from Sony Computer Entertainment casts aspersions on Microsoft's Halo 3. In the Halo 3 section of the Halo page, Sony added "(Halo 3) wont look any better than Halo 2." (See the first and second story images attached below.) Since then, the Halo page has been corrected and locked from further vandalism.
The WikiScanner discovery is also reported on Wired's 'Threat Level'. (See Alternative Sources.) The report and IP address have been checked by Wired senior editor Kevin Poulsen, (i.e., see the third attached image for Poulsen's comments; "Sony insults Halo 3" is the second report after the Walmart report.)
Finally, the forth and last image was taken from a 'Whois' search at the RIPE.net database for "217.18.23.2", the IP address recorded by Wikipedia as having edited the Halo page. The query shows that 217.18.23.2 is registered to SCEE (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) Liverpool Studios in Great Britain. The result also shows the studio's physical address, phone number, and email address.
Will the mudslinging at Sony ever end?
Don't go around spamming, attacking and posting negative sh1ts about other people because you think you are online and hiding behind an anonymous screen name. Some time in the future, someone will come up with a new software tool that will be able to trace all your past online activities, comments and postings back to you and find out who you are.
Just because you are anonymous now and have been in the past does not mean you will always stay anonymous in the future. All your "anonymous" activities are recorded, and they can be checked and traced back to you in the future as new tools are being invented.
So it is OK for Microsoft and its Developers and payed Reviewers and Shops (Gamestation Anyone?) To Bash PS3 24/7 while Sony can't say anything?
Where is the Proof that Sony did this edit?
Can someone show me a trace of the IP that confirms this?
When I do a trace it shows a location in Central Africa.
