While the identities of the Anonymous members (fittingly) haven't been released, police claim they targeted Spanish bank and government sites as well.

Three of the alleged hackers linked to the breach of Sony's online gaming networks that exposed the personal information of more than 100 million people have been arrested in Spain. The trio is reportedly part of the hacking group Anonymous, and each of them have been linked to attacks on Spanish banking and government sites in recent months. The extent of the suspects' alleged role in the Sony hacks hasn't been made clear, but police say that a server found in an apartment in Gijon, Spain, appears to be the one from which attacks on Sony's online gaming store originated.
