I thought all of their details, including home addresses and phone numbers were made public by another group?
Then expect to be disappointed. I think they will give a month of PS+ at the most. Giving too much sets a dangerous precedent IMO. Every outage will lead to calls for grossly unproportional compensation.
Two days of it being down somehow entitles you to thirty? Right...

Any chance you're using Unblock Us or a similar service? I was having difficulty until I reverted back to default DNS.

That was all fake and apparently done by same group using a different name to create internet buzzzzz.
Edit: Which created more victims like this - http://myfox8.com/2014/12/26/greensboro-family-denies-involvement-in-xboxplaystation-hack/
I was able to get in, took a few tries.

I don't know why people believe Sony will do anything about it. I lost a flash sale due to PSN being down for 3 days in a DDoS attack and nothing was done. What would be the difference now?
It seems I won't be able to get Dragon Age =[

The only thing that I ask for is that the last week of sales is extended, if of course the store is down still after Tuesday.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
No. Sony should pay my mortgage for the inconvenience, despicable.

Apparently one of the members explained the reasoning behind it.

As you guessed, it is really stupid.
The only real part I can agree with is they really need to make it so DDOS will not kill your game servers.

They didn't go out of their way to update us every hour on PS blog with shit we already knew.
really? how would you have handle the situation? because when we start blaming the victims instead of the victimizers i think we're losing perspective a little
Nope.
I discovered on Christmas Eve while setting up my PS4, that 2 PS3s and a PS4 have been added to my psn account. Over the last few days, I've downloaded all the ps plus games from the last year, various demos and two digital games but I haven't been able to restore my licenses or access the device management part of the website to deactivate all devices. So all that content is just sitting there unused (although apparently somebody somewhere is enjoying it).
as is your understanding

Not really better than Microsoft though.
Both companies should invest in preventing this considering people pay for it.

Can we buy PS4 games on Vita store? I tried searching but nothing, it would be quite handy right now.
That's what the cunt said to BBC, apprently the reason was because... well... "shouldn't we all be spending time with our families anyway not playing games". Something like that.

Still getting under maintenance in a lot of areas, can't seem to find out either where all the add ons I've downloaded on my old console are, in library it shows I have add ons but have no way to access them to re download them, maybe when it's working they'll show?

This morning I can sign in to PSN but can't load the store and of course can't play my only game, Destiny. Bummer. Progress at least?
It don't get much bigger than Microsoft......

I think its somewhat ironic. DDOSing of PSN and Xbox Live never seemed to be a problem before, at least after my experience. So they create a problem, saying that they wanted to show that they need protection from the problem that they created. It wouldnt be a problem if they didnt create it (obviously DDOS attacks can be done by anyone, but it didnt seem to be any problem before).
Yeah, that is why i'm wondering what he wanted to be done in addition, because they did indeed made updates on Twitter.
And do what, only to get hit by a bigger ddos, it's a money pit
Do you even know what you're talking about right now or are you just being emotional(I mean that in the nicest way possible, it's understandable to be mad) because we couldn't game for 2 days
Someone here wrote this detailed explanation as to no matter what they do based off this recent attack, they can come back next year with quadruple the amount of bots, leaving us right back at square one again
Now that kimdotcom negotiated with terrorist, expect it to happen again

I work for a major it security firm that interfaces with pretty much every major Silicon Valley startup that you can think of - two being arguably the most popular web services in the world. Both of which need similar data persistence for identity management. We talk about how to mitigate massive load, and none of these clients have been knocked out in the past four years.
So, yes, I know what in talking about.
Azure servers, actually.
have you been targeted like this?

Someone on GAF recognized one of the guys because he was swatted by him:

So the outed identities are not (all) random/fake? But yeah I guess it's no one from the currently active group.
