I am sure though it's all an elaborate troll, nobody is hacking nobody and they played us like a damn fiddle!

Of course it's all a troll and that there's no hacking going on by any party. I'm amazed at the people that still believe any of that nonsense after being duped multiple times now by supposed doxes on one party or another over the past few months.
 
Was Lizard really THIS stupid? What made them think they could even be a challenge to actual legit hackers? I like someone's previous analogy, but I will expound upon it further, its like beating glass joe with a cheat code and then turning off the console going to LA and challenging Tyson in the ring. These kids have to have mental issues to conclude they even stood a chance.

Also laughing at them saying they don't know what to do with minors that commit felonies. This judgement system is such a damn joke, corrupt to the damn core.

Not really related or on-topic, but think about it for a minute. Sony says it does not yet know if the PS5 will be based entirely on the cloud (thus always needing a Sony network to stream games) or a physical console. There's currently an internal debate going on about this at Sony.

PS5 To Follow PS4 With 2020 Release Date: Features Exclusive Sony Game Streaming [RUMOR]

Despite the fact that Sony's PS4 has only been on the market for a little over a year, company sources indicate that planning has already begun for the console's successor. Rumor reports reveal that the PS5 may run entirely off cloud technology and could release as late as 2020.

This news comes together through a variety of sources including the Tehran Chronicle and Gadgetnewsin. During a recent interview with Nikkei Shinbun, Sony Computer Entertainment Vice President Masayasu Ito expressed uncertainty about what the hypothetical PS5 might shape up to be.

While his company has been experimenting with cloud-based gaming since Sony's recent acquisition of Gaikai, Ito was still not sure if the technology is stable enough to build an entire console around. In that sense, the internal discussion happening at Sony these days seems to be what path the PS5 will take.

At this point in time the more traditional hardware upgrade pattern is possible, but cloud integration is still being pondered on some level.

As for what side of the coin Sony might fall on, the Tehran Chronicle recently published a story suggesting that the PS5 has greater intention to work alongside the cloud than anything else. The article even goes as far as to say that the system won't support a hard drive at all. Instead, every facet of the experience will be streamed directly from the cloud. If these rumors are true, this would include streaming not just gameplay but the entire system interface.

From a general hardware perspective however, there are plenty of reasons to call this rumor into question. While cloud technology is certainly an up and coming experiment, it has yet to be a commercial success in the gaming industry. Probably the most high-profile game streaming success is Sony's own PS4 remote play feature. With it, gamers can stream full-fledged console games to a PlayStation Vita device.

That being said, for the pr]otocol to work on a PS5 a larger network of servers would be necessary. Sony is testing this architecture through its beta game streaming service called PlayStation Now, but the platform currently suffers from latency issues, a strange price scheme and general consumer apathy.

Not to mention that from a design perspective Sony probably can't afford to let the PS5 stream everything. Even if streaming is a headlining feature of PS5, it seems far more likely that the hard drive size would decrease rather than be removed altogether.

As far as release dates are concerned, the Tehran Chronicle mentions that a 2020 arrival year is projected at this time. However, the publication gives no specific evidence to back up their claim. If the rumor holds true, it goes against common gamer speculation that the PS4 generation will be a shorter cycle than previous ones.[/b

Sony Corporation: PlayStation 5 Is Coming, Could Be Physical Or Cloud-Based

Sales of Sony's PlayStation 4 have been robust since its release last year, but one executive says the company is already planning for the PlayStation 5. Whether it is a physical home console or not, Sony says that the PlayStation 5 will be focused on games.

Some have speculated that the release of the PS4 and Xbox One could be the “last generation” of home consoles, as computing increasingly moves to the cloud, with processing done remotely and then streamed to home devices. Sony Computer Entertainment’s executive vice president Masayasu Ito said that gamers should expect a “next generation” of gaming consoles, including the PlayStation 5, but said he was not sure whether the next PlayStation would be a console or not.

“I think there will be a PS5. However, I don’t know what form it’ll have. It could be a physical console, or it could be in the cloud,” Ito told the Japanese newspaper Nikkei Keizai Shimbum.

Ito told Nikkei that while the PS5 might be a change of form, its next-generation games will advance the medium, which is the company's goal. Sony has reportedly shifted much of its focus from traditional media to its video game platform in the past few months. It will cut back its television and smartphone divisions to focus on PlayStation projects like the Morpheus virtual-reality headset.

Are you interested in ditching your physical PlayStation or are cloud consoles for the birds?

Wouldn't it be really stupid to base an entire generation of the console experience on Cloud, for any company, especially Sony ?

Actually of you add up all the days this year that PSN has been down I think it comes to at least a few bucks which I'd gladly take. The maintenance days are by far the worst. Just purposely scheduling during the day when people are getting off work and ready to play. So stupid.

You can still play online during scheduled PSN maintenance periods.

All I have is conjecture. Microsoft is in the business of selling enterprise-level hosting solutions, so it is in their best interests to have good, solid infrastructure and knowledge. They've also been working on Xbox Live for some time now, since 2002 to be exact.

So from my experience, Xbox Live is very robust, and seems to recover much more quickly from serious attacks. It's also very secure, Microsoft was pretty insistent on that from the start.

PlayStation Network, in contrast, seems very hastily put together. I'm not sure if Sony did it in-house, or outsourced it, but it was full of holes since the day it launched, which resulted in the 2011 outage and intrusion.

Sony patched PSN up as best as they could, but it feels like it's still a bit rickety. It might be due to Sony not taking it seriously enough, or they don't allocate enough funds, or whoever they're paying to do it for them isn't that great - or it might be a side-effect of them trying to cover too much ground. Xbox Live is only one server, for one console. It did have some offshots, like Games for Windows Live, but that got shuttered already. PSN, or more accurately, the now called SEN, Sony Entertainment Network by contrast, has to cover their TVs, music players, PlayStation 3, 4, Vita, and a bunch of other stuff. That's a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, and I wonder if Sony can adequately manage it. That they're taking so long to recover from this DDoS isn't giving me a lot of confidence, but again, we don't have all the information.

So, honestly, yes. I think PSN is more vulnerable than XBL. It's why I don't store my credit card information on PSN (especially not since 2011). I don't think it condemns Sony in my eyes, but it does make me wary of trusting their online services too much. Something that should really just be a habit with anyone, no matter how secure something might look. Google has been breached before, with 5 million gmail accounts compromised as a result. And yet, I do use a looot of Google services, like Google Docs, which has almost ten years of my work on it. It does make me worry. Storing anything online, is just dangerous, since something is only as secure as its weakest link.

And even if a system is VERY secure, people can still social-engineer their way in if they really want to, making passwords, security, and encryption meaningless, if just one support tech gets fooled into revealing too much info, that could give someone what they need to get in almost legitimately.

I see.
Well, like you I don't have any accurate information about these services, but I agree with your whole post about PSN (sen) and XBL.
I think, soon or later, Sony will have to provide to make their online infrastructure more robust, at least for the PSN, since the PS4 is already a very popular console and online gaming is a very strong part of this gen of consoles (the huge success of Destiny proves this).

Talking about internet security I have to admit in past, some of my friends with the right tools and knowledge, managed to do almost anything they want around the web. Fortunately they are a bunch of nice guys and they never did anything bad to anyone, but it was pretty scary to see what they achieved!

Okay im gonna head to be now it was fun earlier, but doesn't seem to be anything but empty threats between each other

and Anon re-posting old news just make them look like they are desperately trying to be relevant again, hope im wrong and i do something
 
This is pretty epic though, if Lizard Squad can manage to deny Anonymous and walk away un-doxed, it would be quite something.

Why is psn down and xbl up and running they both were hacked.

There is no evidence yet of any hacking. They were both DDoSed, and PSN is taking longer to recover from it for reasons we do not yet know.

They are likely the same people, and this is just an act they're putting on. The same thing happened last time LS did a big DDoS... it's almost like watching a re-run.

This is like watching a Klitschko fight. A few rounds of lazy punches and what not and then BOOM.

I don't believe that.
