LIZARD SQUAD is Back. Planning XBL Attack. "Biggest attack yet". [UP: XBL/PSN Down]

Man the people on Twitter demanding free games
One person is demanding "2-3 titles no indie games!"

What kind of entitlement. If they should be giving anyone anything, they should extend PS+ subscriptions by the amount of downtime. Nothing else.

ugh they did that last time.
Do people expect every time something goes wrong Sony should just give them something?
 
Are you concerned?

For Sony yes, not for these calm gamers acting like this whole fiasco is about them.

This is about Sony and not protecting their now paying customers.

Not to mention after the whole NK fiasco Sony has been a target to go after, MS getting it to because they swear they all that in this field.
 
What language is that on the OS? Isnt "Gratis" FREE in spanish? Leading to fake.

It's Dutch. Lemme see if I can get on the PS3 store (I'm in the Netherlands), will report back.

Gratis is an English word too, look it up. But that isn't the French nor the Spanish store, the language is actually Dutch.

Portuguese too..

It's Latin
 
Guess they should find a way then, put some off that money we pay for PSN to good use next year.

I has nothin to do with Money...holy crap people....Live is down again now too, these are nearly impossible to defend against. Some responses in this thread are down right embarassing......It's how the internet works.....sony cannot do anything about it.

Unfortunately, DDoS works because the internet works. It uses the very method by which the internet functions, at a foundational level, against itself. There is no "fix" or patch. There is only taking the entire internet as we know it, scrapping it, and starting over with a new protocol not designed in the late 70s.

And I find it unlikely that will happen anytime soon for obvious reasons.

This is about Sony and not protecting their now paying customers.

There is no defense against a large-scale DDoS. None.

Baby Jesus didn't ask for this.

This is all I got so far. http://youtu.be/yWimutylz80

It's kinda hard to find a way to prevent people from asking for access to you service on a massive scale. It's not an issue with Sony, it's a fundamental flaw with how the internet works. Traffic == congestion in any type of situation, the intertubes are no different.

The easiest way to prevent it is to simply have more bandwith to accept requests, and that costs lots of $$$$

you can't be serious, you are clearly trolling here.
 
"Get me to 50k followers and I'll stop the DDOS"

<gets to 50k followers, continues DDOSing>

"Get me to 55k followers and I'll stop the DDOS"

<gets to 55k followers, continues DDOSing>

Idiots all the way around

LOL I know, so funny. People really are just silly creatures.

Jesus fucking christ.

Will you stop being a dumb ass and just leave. Nothing is being hacked for the umpteenth time, that's not what a dDos does.

You're extremely annoying and the most uninteresting troll out there.
 
If anything this should tell the industry that online only functioning consoles is not a good idea.
But who am I kidding they could very well do it anyway in the future.
 
I got kicked out and so did all my friends just now, so it might be that sony is up to something...
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. was playing all day yesterday too, and today I had over 15 hours of Destiny play so I need the rest :)

Just looked at my friends list, there are only 3 on. There is usually 15 on at any given time.
 
I can't get into Destiny on Xbox One. Keeps telling me I need to be connected to Xbox Live, but I seem to be connected. Looks like XBL is having issues again.
 
Lol you guys trying to get in my face because I suggested they find a way to prevent this, don't start your beef with me. I expect what I pay for to work and want them to prevent this in the future, guess I'm the dick.

You never suggested a way to stop this at all...if it were that easy MS with one of the biggest server farms in the world would not be having issues. All you showed was your ignorance on the matter
 
three months ago I would have told you the internet should not be regulated and ISPs should not tier their connections and limit what we can do with it. After today, I feel like we as a free market ruined the beauty of the internet and now it HAS to be regulated by the government just so we can use it.

Yep. We cannot function if we're not enslaved or policed at all times. Wish extraterrestrials would just come wipe us out already.
 
you can't be serious, you are clearly trolling here.

I see that as Truth not trollin, those hackers are trollin. What has Sony done to protect you?

How about this, many dont know why actually put their credit cards on these consoles...they probably concerned after seeing cnn and mainstream media Blabbing about this being a Hack, even though it isnt to those that are following this.
 
I'm not stopping anyone from venting or telling them not to, unlike what some people have been directing at me. I'm just voicing my opinion on the matter and that I disagree with the outrage, and that the outrage actually gives those kids what they want. You may dislike my opinion. Hell most people or everyone may dislike it, but that does not diminish my right to state it any more than anyone else's right to vent.
I'm sure if the mods thought I'd been out of line in this thread by the things I've been saying, they would've stepped in considering the visibility of this topic. And I haven't been "shitting" on anyone.

You came into a thread that anybody with any brains at all would know immediately would contain people who were angry and/or dissapointed and said you found the situation "comical".
You then went on to patronisingly state the obvious about finding other things to do and act like you are some kind of morally superior entity with a more balanced view than anyone justifiably angered at the disruption.

I can't help feeling for people sorry for parents in a worse position than me. Maybe they work the same horrible shifts but have much less disposable income. Maybe they have younger children than me and their big gift this year is a console and a one or two games that don't fucking work. That's their Christmas theyve worked their asses off for more or less fucked. Time is precious and you don't get it back.
People don't need smug jerks who should know better telling them how comical it all is and how they should all go rollerskating instead.

You were being a jerk. Show some sensitivity instead.
 
They gave sony money and support...

What exactly dont you get?

How about that kid that got a new PS4?

thars $500+ after taxes and games
You know back when the og Xbox came out, when Live was first introduced it was nothing like it is today

These things take time, it does not happen over night, be patient, damn.

Plus nothing is being 'hacked'
 
Lol you guys trying to get in my face because I suggested they find a way to prevent this, don't start your beef with me. I expect what I pay for to work and want them to prevent this in the future, guess I'm the dick.

I'm only trying to explain the situation. Yes, in a perfect world, Sony could throw money at the problem and make it dissapear. You think you're the first person to come into this thread in the last three days and say that Sony should just "fix it"? You think you're the only one affected by this, and angry and upset?

Your indignance does not give you the right to ignore people trying to help you understand, or be abusive to those who are trying to explain.

There have been the same four questions posted in this thread hundreds of times, and answered hundreds of times. Don't treat people in here like your personal butler you can just snap your fingers at and say "make it allright".

We're in this shit together. Take the temperature of the room a little.

?? Protect us from what?? What has MS done , why do you only mention sony, as live is also down again now?? There is nothign to protect us from, wha knowledge of sonys infrastructure so you have to make this claim?
 
Aside from technical support messages acknowledging a problem, It seems that none of Lizard Squad's targets have acknowledged their existence. Perhaps they are acting on advice to not say a word until after they are apprehended.

What surprises me most, is Twitter's dismissive attitude to people abusing their terms of service, including harassment. Twitter is feeding them oxygen to revel in these attacks.

Twitter seems to have become a soapbox for criminals and people abusing celebrities.
