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

With all the fake outs and fake war with themselves, I'm starting to think these guys are much smarter than they are portraying themselves as.
 
I just got home. Is shit still down? Like...really? I've been at work since 9. Busiest day we have had all year and you're telling me this shit is still down?

Hey @LizardMafia don't fuck with the Tor network. People need that service because of corrupt governments. Stand the fuck down.

Do something. @YourAnonNews

I really hope Anon/Tor shady people get together and bring a "Happy New Year" knocking on LS asshole's doors.
 
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 ?

They are working on it, by the looks of it, it might take a while.
 
I feel bad for my brother-in-law. He got the LBP3/Lego Batman PS4 bundle for Christmas and he can't redeem the LBP voucher. He really wants to check our LBP but of course, it's not an option.
 
It's crazy that these DDOs attacks seem to split Gaf more than unite it.

I've been having family time mostly over xmas so PSN being down hasn't affected me too much yet. And I still got my brother and sister to experience the magic of Towerfall Ascension so I'm happy for now.
 
imagine if this shit were to happen on Bloodborne launch day

and @ the BBC interview they are not all kids, the guy claimed he was 22 if not mistaken he is a full fledged adult who is a moron and an asshole. He should know better he is just a dick the minute something happens to him or his property I bet he would be crying like a bitch as well.
 
Just played Last of Us on PS3 without realising my console was offline.

Went to sign in, still can't. Fuck. Live is up for me though, Melbourne Australia.
 
It wouldn't be worse than during people's Christmas break.
On GAF, it would. I can't prove it, but I bet the reaction would be even more immense here on GAF.
 
And this is why we don't react to doxx information released by dubious sources. People don't quite understand how lives can be permanently altered or at worst, ruined, when people knee-jerk react to the posting of public information that claims to be that of someone causing harm.

Exactly. It's terrifyingly easy to manipulate people with false info because internet mobs tend to believe anything that fuels their ire. Spreading doxx is always a terrible idea.

Man, to be a fly on the wall of the boardroom meetings that must have been going on since the attack ... two days ago? I'm losing my sense of time.

Honestly though, I can only guess at what must be going on. We don't really know what happened at their datacenters and with their DDoS mitigation company. I actually expected PSN to be more or less up and running at 90% again by now. That it's not, might mean multiple things:

- There might still be an attack going on, that we're just not hearing about?
- There might have been an intrusion attempt that happened during the DDoS, using it as a smokescreen, and now Sony is trying to figure out what was taken or seen?
- They might be using this downtime to integrate more solutions from the DDoS mitigation partner?
- Everyone that has keys to the PSN server room is on holiday with their cellphones off? (This is a joke).

So who knows. It might be all of the above, minus that last one.

Is it any use to bring in one of these DDoS mitigation services this late in the game, or is that more of a preventative measure?

Both Sony and MS have DDoS Mitigation. Sony uses www.prolexic.com while MS has their own home-spun system.
 
Doing an online chat now with XBOX..the guy doesnt seem to understand my question..so I am going to ask it here..I know XBOX LIVE is down but I just for now want to get the system updates since I am powering on the XBOX ONE for the first time is getting those updates affected by this outage?
 
On GAF, it would. I can't prove it, but I bet the reaction would be even more immense here on GAF.

If severity is measured by overreaction NeoGAF all caps posts then yeah it might be worse I guess.

At least the (non-digital version) of the game could still be played. FF14 though (._. )

Turn it on and have a look?
 
That shows how much we rely on the Internet nowadays.. Most of games require online to be fully appreciated. Was Microsoft always online policy that bad after all????

😇
 
This is mostly annoying.

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

In school you are taught how to think a certain way. Sometimes they even teach lies (unknowingly in some cases), as a test I took two different history classes under two professors, totally different info. One was the puppet version that most get and one was from someone who had been well traveled and passionate. It gets to a point where you have to realize you're just there to get the A and get the hell out, and test every bit of info you get and find out its origin. Most people also take it as correct, though. Not able to think critically.

Age doesn't necessarily equate maturity. I mean we're talking people who hide behind computers and clog servers as some sort of anti-hero power fantasy. Nothing about that equates a full-fledged adult to me.

That's all I care about...

22 isn't a kid? Hm. Ok then.
 
I can still play FFXIV on my PC but my problems are it's likely my friends cannot get online because of the DDoS attacks since they play the PS3/PS4. It was so boring yesterday and today without them. :/
 
Reading this thread....wow.

Honestly, ive been too busy cooking, eating and drinking to be affected much.

I think the outrage needs to be dialed down a touch. Im not disputing that people here have every reason to be angry, but it is what it is. Its the hoilday season. Dont let these morons spoil it.

Pull out your PS3s/360s/Wiis fire up some old games and have a blast.
 
WTF IS IN KIRKSVILLE....dear god ipviking is INSANE....seattle is getting murdered beyond belief that even chrome is near the point of crashing due to how many bots go off at once.

I think it says more about what style of gaming people enjoy the most on average. That even when we're alone in our dark, dank basements playing video games with our cheeto encrusted fingers while sitting in our underwear... we still prefer to shout obscenities at excessive volumes in the presence of others.
;p
