Recap:

LizardSquad took credit for DDoSing PSN, apparently in the name of ISIS or something.
FamedGod got pissed and gave out IP addresses of everyone in LizardSquad.
LizardSquad apparently think that there on explosives on flight of John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment, which has apparently been redirected.
LizardSquad are now tweeting "funny" videos which include footage from 9/11.
FamedGod will be PSN back if we report LizardSquad on Twitter.
But worst of all Brazzers was affected.

This Fame person brought down PSN. A group of others called Lizard has DDOSed lots of other things, but most importantly, caused a flight redirection through a bomb scare on a plane. They then also claimed credit for the PSN takedown.

Fame then posted the Lizard group members' IP addresses and told people to report Lizard's Twitter page. He says if it gets deleted, he'll "restore" PSN from its DDOS status.

Thank you.

So this is basically a fight of two "hacker" groups who like to pretend to be cool and some disgusting bomb threat shit.

 

[Sola Scriptura]

Well, at least we can confirm one thing:

Whoever is running the Lizard Squad Twitter account is going to jail.

 

[The Elite]

I guess they don't like lazy Sundays.

uh.

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Dugna]

If I got a trophy offline and then synced it when PSN came back, it would still get a date/time right?

Yeah when you earn a trophy is stamps the thing with the time and date you got it, then it once you sync it uploads it online.

See atleast Xbox and Microsoft are smart and dont operate on one datacenter. Sony your fucking aids.

Confirmed XBL>PSN?

If you want to take his word for it, sure I guess.

 

[King_Moc]

Unless they're located in a country with no intention of fighting cybercrime, they should suffer the consequences.

Well, hopefully they get sued into homelessness.

uh.

Someone tweet the poor guy why he's stuck there =/

 

[Ghazi]

DAMN!

 

[plainr_]

Is this related to Brazzers?

Oh my god. lol

 

[Phlebas]

They hinted that a bomb was on a American Airlines flight because the CEO of SOE is onboard.

His flight got redirected because of the scare.

This means the FBI is now involved. And most likely homeland security.

They're so completely fucked now.

Is this for the 'lulz' or is there a point to all this nonsense?

Seems like "for the lulz." I hope whoever is responsible for this gets Guantamo'd. Severe maybe, but something about these cowardly cyber attacks just inspires great rage within me.

 

[FeiRR]

Welp, that confirms that he targetted Live as well. Microsoft were just better prepared for an attack.

You believe what a guy who's just commited a crime writes on Twitter?

Okay...

uh.

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

(edit) Jokes on the internet, how do they work? Obviously I have no idea.

 

[Vashetti]

If I got a trophy offline and then synced it when PSN came back, it would still get a date/time right?

Yes.

 

[Nyteshade517]

My BBC is down. BBC's website is also offline.

I guess the lizards don't like the new Doctor

 

[Mysterious]

If I got a trophy offline and then synced it when PSN came back, it would still get a date/time right?

Yep

[alr1ght]

FBI is going to go in on these kids.

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

<please don't be serious>

 

[krypt0nian]

Calm down tiger.

Too late. #kermitwithtissuesandlube.gif

Fake Kaz is best Kaz,

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

Really? You're not sympathising with someone who's plane was redirected after a scare because of some twitter account, because of that?

 

[Pastry]

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

You'd be complaining just the same if you were on that flight. Terrorist threats are not a joke.

 

[Catdaddy]

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

It's a bit more complex than that..

 

[convo]

Well now that planes get redirected because of joke bomb threads, this all is just gonna end wonderfully now isn't it? Man these guys have really no idea what the fuck they were doing.

 

[Menome]

Thank you.

So this is basically a fight of two "hacker" groups who like to pretend to be cool and some disgusting bomb threat shit.

Pretty much. All I know is it's ruined my Sunday evening plans for gaming with friends, so I'm stuck here watching this thread progress instead in the meantime.

Why wouldn't he/she/them?

amazing

 

[Live Free or Die]

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

Joke post?

 

[WinterDemons]

Someone tweet the poor guy why he's stuck there =/

Apparently he didn't have Wifi on the flight so he didn't know at the time.

 

[UV-6]

Welp, that confirms that he targetted Live as well. Microsoft were just better prepared for an attack.

The power of the cloud is real

What the hell man, this is fucking serious!

Thanks for summing everything up. I kinda thought this was just PSN but holy shit things escalated quickly.

Wow. That is nuts.

 

[BouncyFrag]

GAF needs a Winter Contingency when shit likes this goes down.

Really?

Definition of completely lacking perspective/empathy. Jesus Christ, man.

Smh this is sad as hell.

 

[Diprosalic]

wow they took this shit really seriously and rerouted the plane?

uh.

WTF!

 

[M_A_C]

Who would take down something with a cast of colorful characters teaching you skills that will last a lifetime?

I'm also mad about PBS!

Bravo!

 

[PranooY]

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

Come on, man. You for real?

 

[Darksol]

Well this will probably have an interesting end.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Oh no... the guy who destroyed Star Wars Galaxies is slightly delayed getting where he's going... I'm so sad for him.

This has fuck-all to do with his pedigree. This means that the authorities are actually reacting to the bomb scare and the FBI are probably going to be involved.

Doesn't matter if you like him or not, this just means things are really serious.

 

[Bolts-n-Rays1109]

Calm down tiger.

You can calm down, tiger. I would love to be playing some survivor mode on TLOU:R.

 

[Hupsel]

restart humanity please

 

[Live Free or Die]

wow they took this shit really seriously and rerouted the plane?

Yes, all threats against airlines are taken seriously.

 

[KojiKnight]

Joke post?

Yes, damn I thought I was being fairly obvious.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

You'll find that people do not fuck around when it comes to bomb threats.
