Did he launch a DDoS attack on grammar and spelling too?

The good thing about all this is a lot of users are paying for this shit with Plus and still none of that money will be invested into fixing this

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wait

We need to zoom in (I use the [ModbotZoom][*/ModbotZoom] code)

Again

I think the culprit is located in Japan. Kyoto, to be specific.

I think you're onto something here /s

 

[prwxv3]

How in the name of god did you get 'defending him' from that statement?

I just said there are better ways to go about exposing security flaws.

DDos has nothing to do with security.

 

[ViciousDS]

Sony block consoles using custom firmware from accessing the PSN. Look back when people were first trying to hack the PS3. There are multiple stories about it.

Wow, I don't know how to respond to this, as you know nothing. He who understands nothing, knows nothing. I used a jailbroken ps3 as my top media box (media player app was amazing and allowed mkv native playback) for over a year and used it to connect to the psn store even. Not once was my console blocked, and to this day it's just as easy......my ps3 is no longer JB. But you must be under some huge illusion that they really watch out for this stuff, because they don't buddy, they don't.

Lizard Squad may not be the ones responsible for PSN DDoS attack

That's good, maybe Lizard Squad gets angry and exposes this guy and that way both get caught.

not the same people.

Fame DDOSed PSN. Lizard did the rest of the crap.

Ah, I see

 

[Chri_stoph]

How much this thread changed during the day, from PSN being down, to flights being diverted and people discussing why you should say mom or mum.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

This hacking stuff is really scary, when PSN is back up I'm definitely taking my mum's details off it in case she gets hijacked.

 

[Armaros]

And now people are going to believe amateur scrip kiddies about actual network and data security?

 

[robo]

These people have a weird hard on for sony, I mean to call a bomb threat on a plane a sony exec is on? What does that get you.

about 5-10 yrs jail time

Leave mommy out of this!!

 

[Snake201]

Haha, so if their beef is with PS why are they DDOSing other sites, calling in bomb threats, and now insulting a charity. They're immature scumbags, plain and simple.

IIRC LizardSquad are the ones that called the bomb threats and insulted the charity. FamedGod is the one who revealed LizardSquad's IP address (which caused LS to call a bomb threat) and made the youtube video with that description.

lol, so the solution to get Sony to do something is to fuck with everyone else who wants to go online today?

retweets, we are living in a new age.

They want to be a renegade by hacking security, well if they love it so much they'll end up in a holding cell with a wall to stare at.

 

[Catdaddy]

can't we all just get alon... oh nevermind..

 

[maneil99]

How does a DDOS prove a network can be hacked? They are not the same thing

 

[EL CUCO]

That is so horribly written. It might not even be from the source- just some fervent anti-Sony fanboy.

My thoughts exactly.

Banned from XBL and soon to be banned from PSN, if he hasn't already been.

What a dick...

How to make people think you know what you are talking about.

Step 1. Find all jargon related to subject in question.
Step 2. Put it in a bucket.
Step 3. Stir bucket.
Step 4. Pour contents of bucket out to form paragraph.
Step 5. Post to internet.

Well, they took PSN down didn't they? It says a lot about the network if some amateur script kiddies can take it down so easily.

Console warriors are really embarassing themselves in this thread.

Uhhhh, the second ip that Famed listed is a Marshall's in Florida... so he faked it?

Fake

 

[HawksWinStanley]

But seriously I don't think XBL is immune to these things at all.

Maybe not immune but they sure as hell seem to be much better prepared.

The days when skinny jeans never existed.

 

[Pyramidbread]

From the looks of the graph thingy on Down Detector, a lot less people are reporting that its down, maybe it's finally coming back online?

[LollipoPReapeR]

So anyone have any idea on how long this'll take to get fixed? (Read when I can play killzone again?)

At least this didn't happen on Destiny release day. Shit will go down if it does.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Hah. This is hilarious. Made my day.

I think you mean *mom*

 

[mrklaw]

I'm trying to play a downloaded game, not a disc. It's the last of us and when I tried to turn off the internet, that's when it started telling me it can't get my license. If the internet is on it just loads forever and doesn't finish.

I thought if you have your console set to primary then it doesn't need to be online even for downloaded games?

 

[Armaros]

Well, they took PSN down didn't they? It says a lot about the network if some amateur script kiddies can take it down so easily.

DDoSing is all about overloading a server with 'false traffic' it has nothing to do with data security.

They don't have any access to anything, they are just sending empty data packets that block everyone else from accessing the servers.

 

[FirstBlood]

Sony blocks consoles using custom firmware from accessing the PSN. Look back when people were first trying to hack the PS3. There are multiple stories about it.

People with up to date custom firmware have been able to access PSN for a pretty long time now.

They've also been getting banned sometimes. But not always.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Not sure if posted already but here is the Youtube video that the transcript above was taken from.

FameGod
Hacker FamedGod releases video explaining why he targeted PSN for DDoS attack

Pretty interesting video about FamedGod

 

[Wishmaster92]

Lizard Squad may not be the ones responsible for PSN DDoS attack

probably just bait to divert attention.

 

[Proxy]

Why do people keep posting shit from little script kiddies on Twitter?

 

[Alucrid]

Maybe not immune but they sure as hell seem to be much better prepared.

And the only proof you have is a random twitter account.

 

[Theecliff]

So you tweet a fucking bomb threat ?

Guys, FamedGod isn't the same account as Lizard Squad. Pretty sure both are claiming the DDoS attacks, but Lizard was the one who tweeted the bomb threat.



Also, it's mum you weirdos.

 

[On Demand]

I think you mean *mom*

I thought europeans only said mum because of their accent?

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Well at least this goes to show why no one wanted an online only future b

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Uhhhh, the second ip that Famed listed is a Marshall's in Florida... so he faked it?

You think people would go on Twitter and tell... lies?

 

[DwightSchruting]

Guys, FamedGod isn't the same account as Lizard Squad. Pretty sure both are claiming the DDoS attacks, but Lizard was the one who tweeted the bomb threat.

Mum is the word, mom is mother tho!

Just a quick question... Remote play, does it work while something like this is going on? What about during maintenance?
