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

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????

😇

Absolutely. I'm playing Alien Isolation, Wolfenstein, and Evil Within. If those periodically required check ins that might not have been the case.

There zero good reasons they should need to authenticate with a server or lock out play, and 400OGbps zombie DDOS's why its a terrible idea.
 
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.

it has gotten much stronger and diverse over the course of the day. I have never seen it like this.

it is very alarming.
 
Are they hacking Bungie's servers or is that just Activision incompetence?

What? There is no (reported) hacking going on here. There isn't even a DDoS currently (that we are aware off, and nobody has claimed responsibility for any). Are you talking about Destiny on PS4, or XBL? PS4 is still having some PSN issues, which might impact Destiny on the PS4, things like it not being able to log in, thinking you don't have PS+ for online, etc. If XBL, kinda the same.
 
This even made Infowars' front page:

Geez Alex even mentioned the attacks on the online gaming networks (skip to 3:00) on his regular program.

Really dumb how YouTube needs you to be signed in to PSN to work. Not needed to Netflix, so I don't know why YouTube requires log-in.

To be fair everything (including your fucking pins!) Requires xbox live to work.

Technically you can play them offline but both these new consoles are effectively bricks when not connected to the host network.
 
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?

Shouldn't be, but it'll probably be very slow. I powered mine on and was greeted with a system update. It took over a half hour to download 250 MB though. I loaded up MCC, but it needs a 4 GB update, so fuck that. Guess I'll just play Civ V tonight.
 
PSN is shut down like mad, cant see friends list at all, store, Destiny cant load cause it cant reach PSN servers.

It was working yesterday enough for me to get in and check out XUR on destiny.


Whats funny is sony just says maintenance, never mentions a hack, then the twitter response from the reptiles verifies it

Why mention a hack when it's not a hack?
 
Did anyone listing to the BBC radio interview get the sense that one of the guys wanted out but didn't say "I regret it" for fear of group retribution? The more lucid one who just wants to sell the Mega encrypted keys and give his share to the group?
 
Anyone wanna help me write the script for "Hacker Warz!"

Starring: Lizard Squad, finest squad, fake Anon twitter accounts and North Korea!!!

Edit: Starring Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Lizard Squadron Leader NO.1

it could be sony's data centre. who knows.

i don't think they ever said where they were moving PSN to (used to be based in san diego, moved after PSN attack in 2011)
 
So is this shit real? Kim Dot COm stopped the attacks for 3,000 Mega vouchers? http://torrentfreak.com/kim-dotcom-stops-xbox-and-playstation-attacks-141226/

If this was already posted I apologize this is a huge thread lol.

As real as anything on Twitter. So, perhaps? Maybe. KimDotCom's account is legit, that we know, but LizardMafia only claims to be LizardSquad, and they only claim to have stopped the attacks after they received the vouchers, so who really knows?

Can I portray Kim jong Un? I really feel that I have the necessary qualities and talents to bring the Glorious Leader to life on the big screen for audiences.
 
In the BBC interview he says it has stopped, so what gives?

PSN still down, store is still down... you can download updates and shit though.
 
Nope. Just hit circle once sign in fails. That's how I did it yesterday afternoon..though PSN has been fine for me since last night.

Doesn't work for me. Just tried it.

When I hit the circle button after trying to sign in this is what I see.

Succesful Playstation®Network sign in is required for use of Netflix. Please retry.

How cute...Sony.

XBL is up but Destiny craps out 5 mins after login. I get to Xur and spend a minute in the tower before the rug is pulled out.
