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

They have the potential to be down for various reasons though apart from a ddos attack though they habe several things going on with Sony Pictures and a bunch of different issues woth SOE to deal with.

Communication is key though, at the minute XBL is up and fine and all Playstation fans have is a copy and paste response on twitter.
 
Lizard Squad had me play my XB1...or well I wanted to.

*Killer Instinct needs an update* ... fudge... Crawling at 58% after a hour.

No biggy, let's stop that and try some Halo MCC. *Halo needs an update...8GB* Oh for the love of!... well I better download this one now since the beta for H5 is Monday.

Oh yeah! I got Ryse with my XB1 purchase. Let's install that digital game. *Won't go past 3% for a solid 10ish minutes before going to 4%*....
..........

.......................

What the fuck ever happened to just putting a god damn game in, and playing it? Huh?

Fuck it. I'm out. Time to play Titanfall on PC or maybe buy Transistor on PC. :/
 
Ok i listened to that bbc interview there just a bunch of kids...unbelievable how dumb they are.
And how can we get this point across to make them mad enough to make a mistake? Between the opinions here and the Dark Knight posts and my previous post about them being tech savvy, computer-babysat kids with low influence parents paint quite the obvious picture as to what motivates these individuals. Start a twitter campaign.
 
Hello offline, my old friend
I've come to play with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its connection while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted
In my brain still remains
With the sound of silence

Xbox Live isn't down.

29s ago on Twitter:"Xbox Live not working?"
59s ago on Twitter: "This is crazy, Xbox Live has been down for 2 days!"
2m ago: "Xbox Live Still not working #xboxlivedown"

I can find hundreds such tweets in just the last minute. Thousands if I expand it to 10 minutes.

Xbox Live may be working for some, but not all. However, PSN is showing far more issues (on the PS4 side, with intermittant on PSV and PS3).

It isn't a clear-cut case of just "one is working the other isn't." This is still the post Christmas rush too. Last year it was a few days of wobbly for both systems, but I think people forget that.

There is no direct evidence that either is still under DDoS, but only because nobody is claiming to be DDoSing at the moment.

What else can they say? If they're working on restoring it they're working on restoring it. Even a live blog with up to the second posts wouldn't be able to provide any more information. If you think they're lying about working on it you're ignorant to the amount of money they're losing with the store being down. I don't know what some people expect, technicians giving detailed reports about exactly what they're doing?

"Fool", said I, "Why don't you know
Networks come and networks go?"
Reads these words and know the painful truth
It doesn't take a very brilliant sleuth
Just to know, that these games you do not own
they're a loan...
it's just a rental license.
 
Started installing Assasin's creed Unity on my new Xbox One this morning at 9am, so it's 8:21pm currently and it was at 81% 30 mins ago, but now the install has completly stopped. And WTF why is my xbox downloading at 400kbps when i have a 80Mbps connection. Never had issues installing games on my PS4. This is bullshit i was downloading at that speed the entire day. WTF MS? seriously....
 
Yesterday I went to buy Dragon Age in its digital form,
And let out cries of rage 'cause now my spirit is torn,
And of all the days they choose the one our savior was born,
Now I'm left with no choice but to go watch some porn.
 
Can't even play any games on my xbone right now. I launch them and it says I have to be online to play it.

So I go offline to play games, AND IT SAYS I HAVE TO BE ONLINE TO PLAY OFFLINE. WHAT
 
I guess if the consortium that runs it decides they wanted to expand it beyond its original education and research scope, perhaps... But it isn't nearly big enough to handle, well, the planet's current Internet needs just being shoved on to it. It would take decades of laying additional infrastructure. And who would pay for that?

True, good point.

Nobody will want to pay for it, unless they think they'll see huge returns for their investments. If the economy was like it was in the 90s during the Clinton years, then maybe. But not the way it is now or in the near-to-mid term.

I think this is interesting though, it's about companies that secure the main infrastructure of Internet2.

This is mostly annoying.

I wonder if street smarts out does people who went to school and do this as a profession.

I have another question for you !

Sony tweeted they are working hard to bring back the PSN online ... what are their engineer doing to restore the services ?

That BBC interview...

I don't know much about computers but better security doesn't stop DDoS attacks FFS. Goddammit, these kids.

Loved the host just shittalking one of them for preventing his little brother from playing Minecraft.
