Google Play Twitter score went straight into the ground. If this is lizard squad then F*CK THEM get a freaking life already!
Downdetector Sweden and WW got reports so its likely going down everywhere

 

[labaronx]

Well, its true that PSN is coming back, more and more people seem to be able to log in, but fair enough about that. Maybe they could have waited a bit with posting that on Twitter if its still a widespread issue, i agree.

Its also true that Xbox Live did come up faster as you mention, but we dont know what work that is being done right now, both regarding Xbox Live and PSN. Are they simply rebooting the system or are they adding more security, trying to prevent it from happening "all the time"? They dont necessarily have to be under attack for things to take time to come back up, there could be other factors as well. Its speculations on both sides of course, because i dont know either, but i just wanted to say that i dont think that its fair to call that point for incompetence if we dont know. It would be nice if we could get a post mortem of what happened and what that has been done regarding PSN and Xbox Live, but i guess that we wont get that unfortunately : And yeah, hopefully things will be better once everything is up and running 100% again.

I think sony saw this as an opportunity for them to implement things in the network when the general public new it was down too hackers.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

That explains it. The app just stopped working on my phone and signed me out. I thought I had been hacked or something so I changed my password, but no dice.

Wow thought the same thing.

I hope that this is the reason for why its taking the time that it takes. 3-4 days for simply restoring the services is a really long time, in my opinion.

 

[Norwegian_Imposter]

Speaking of akamai they need to do something about the fluctuations in download speeds from psn

 

[Haunted]

Well, I still have the naive belief that escalating these ddos attacks to bigger and bigger targets will also escalate the reaction of the law enforcement responsible for tracking these people down?

Having zero Twitter issues here!

I actually just wanted an excuse to post that, don't mind me.

 

[Legendarybeepa]

Twitter down for me too. Signed me out on my phone and won't let me log back in.

 

[djshauny]

Just a bunch of pathetic losers.

They will get arrested. Sooner the better.

 

[Kriken]

Rumors circulating that Lizard Squad is DDOSing Twitter. The Twitter app have logged out users worldwide.

I was wondering why Twitter randomly shut me out on mobile. Can't read either tweet though :/

 

[Y2Kev]

Lol can't get into Twitter on desktop now!

 

[Kirlia]

So that's why Twitter probably isn't working. What a pain.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Yep, logged me out of twitter on my phone and tablet.

 

[Zabuza]

Twitter down for me too. Nexus 5 and on my computer.

 

[Wagram]

Good the more people they piss off the greater the chance these dirt bags are off the street.

 

[antibolo]

Wait so they're now ddosing their primary channel for public attention?

That doesn't even make sense. WHY ARE THEY STILL NOT ARRESTED ALREADY

 

[blitzcloud]

Wow, it's like the 90s all over again. "Forward this email to 10 friends, and Bill Gates will send you a million dollars!"

attention fellow psn users, sony has plans of shutting down psn because they get hacked too often. If you forward this to 10 people you will show sony you care and they wont shut it down

 

[Neoxon]

Got logged out of Twitter on my phone. These guys aren't being arrested fast enough.

 

[Kyoufu]

Lol can't get into Twitter on desktop now!

Mine is fine.

Twitter itself works (at least for me), its just the login/sign-out part that seems to be affected.

 

[Kirlia]

Mine is fine.

What are the tweets on your feed like? Are people complaining about this?

 

[Y2Kev]

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

My Twitter is working great, so is my PSN.

Sorry if yours is not.

 

[Bollocks]

well if it is only twitter, that's not that bad

 

[Bl4ckSunsh1n3]

No PSN for PS4 for me. Fine on all other platforms though (PS3, Vita, App and browser). This is the point where I start thinking it's more incompetence. The attacks have been stopped for a while and the network is still working half-assed.

 

[Zabuza]

Fuck these guys.

The network is getting hammered by legitimate traffic. They said so on the support site.

 

[mangochutney]

Yeah my feed is full of tweets complaining they can't tweet...

 

[Dr Amazon MD]

Damn Holiday break, when do these kids have to go back to school?

 

[Kinsei]

Damn Holiday break, when do these kids have to go back to school?

Not sure about other places, but around here they go back on the 5th.

At this point it's not the ddos anymore, it's just too many new PS4s due to the holidays.

 

[LiK]

Twitter is fine for me.

 

[Sojgat]

LOL, still can't sign in to PSN.

 

[Metfanant]

last night around this time i was able to sign into PSN and play online just fine...tonight i cant even get logged into the PSN at all.....

as for twitter...works on my desktop, but mobile site/various twitter apps dont work at all

 

[Moussi]

LOL, still can't sign in to PSN.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but did u change ur mtu setting to 1473? I can't log in unless I change it to that, whereas before I could log in fine without playing with it and leaving it on automatic.

 

[Sojgat]

Doesn't work for me.

Edit: Tried it again, and it worked this time. Yay!

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Just got on after changing the MTU. Ridiculous that it isn't up for people using automatic MTU settings.

 

[Triz]

I can't play any of my digital download games on ps4. Hell can't even play disc copy of far cry 4 since it hangs at logging in. So damn frustrating. My wife was pissed she couldn't play you don't know jack last night.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Just got on after changing the MTU. Ridiculous that it isn't up for people using automatic MTU settings.

The DDoS protection has probably blocked out the most common packet size which, for most, is going to be the default of 1500.

Try unchecking the connect to internet box and it should let you play far cry. Worked for me at least.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

I see, that makes sense. It's just unfortunate that most people won't know this and will still be unable to connect.

 

[Metfanant]

For the record: canging MTU to 1473 worked for me..PSN logged right in and CoD multiplayer booted right up

 

[DarkOneX]

Ya just wait until it times out then play offline, works fine been playing that most the time all weekend.

 

[Bollocks]

I've only ever been able to connect with default settings, any other mtu didn't work so there's that

 

[Derpyduck]

Just got on after changing the MTU. Ridiculous that it isn't up for people using automatic MTU settings.

There's gotta be a ton of people that don't read forums who can't get on. My assumption is that the MTU work-around is essentially allowing people to jump in front of the line.

 

[RPGCrazied]

PSN seems fine on PS3/PS4 today. Maybe its finally fixed.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Got in without changing my MTU but downloads are super slow right now.

 

[EatMyFace]

Just got on after changing the MTU. Ridiculous that it isn't up for people using automatic MTU settings.

I've been on since last night. Haven't changed a single internet setting.

Haven't tried downloading anything though.

 

[Bl4ckSunsh1n3]

At this point it's not the ddos anymore, it's just too many new PS4s due to the holidays.

Which is why I think it's incompetence.

MTU change doesn't work for me either, nor does updating DNS.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Which is why I think it's incompetence.

You know the way people have issues with their phones around midnight on New Year?

Yeah, companies aren't going to update networks and services to cover outages or disruption once a year.

 

[Bl4ckSunsh1n3]

You know the way people have issues with their phones around midnight on New Year?

I don't, because I don't have issues. Because my provider doesn't suck.

This happens every year to Sony at Christmas. I know better than to try to play my PS4 over the holidays, which to me is pathetic. I stood up for them over the DDoS but, now, not so much. Anyways, I'm done venting over it. I'm sure by Wednesday it'll be fine.
