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

I still cant log in, but all my friends can...also to note, one lives like 15 minutes away from me if that matters. He didnt change any MTU settings. It would be nice to be able to download dragon age, but im not in a rush..not going to bother changing settings to get it to work.
 
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.

Lucky you, you don't have issues! Some people do, funny that. I have no issues now on PSN, guess the problem doesn't exist.
 
About Twitter.........

Guess they are having some issue. Could just be coincidence, who knows.

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.

Sign out of PSN. I played the disc version of Far Cry 4, offline with no problems during this mess.
 
Ok can finally login on ps4 and see the store, trophies, everything after changing my router settings mtu to 1454 (read that figure is best for pppoe connections somewhere although my default setting was previously 1492). Have left ps4 on auto.

I do wonder whether Sony will fix their system so people don't have to mess with their mtu settings (as it was before Christmas) or is this the way things are now. If it is the way things are they're going to have to start sending documentation and notices out everywhere including outlets that sell the ps4. That or release a firmware update that changes the way systems connect to psn, but for people to get that they'll have to allow people to get on the network again first.
 
Who's servers are in St.louis?

PSN, Amazon, etc. Although I think someone said earlier portions of PSN run off Amazon's servers. I don't know too much about it really.

Edit:

At this moment all auth requests are being blackholed behind prolexics servers. There could be several reasons for this.
* The auth server going offline on Sony's side.
* The auth server being overloaded
* Prolexic actively filtering traffic because of an ongoing attack.
* Some problem at prolexic (perhaps they can't handle the load either)

PSN also uses Amazon EC2 for their applications/multiplayer servers. And Akamai for game downloads, updates, firmware, etc. EC2 and Akamai also seems to be stable and explains why folks can get downloads and even play Online ( if they managed to login ) since those services are running in EC2 or over Akamais CDN.
 
This entire lizard squad saga has been interesting to say the least...after all this, the Twitter wars, the interviews etc. I still can't tell if a) they actually did it b) what the hell the point was.
 
That site is hosted in STL. So all that is showing is that site is busy.

wut.

Are you sure you understand what you're looking at there?

Norse Dark Intelligence

Every second, Norse collects and analyzes live threat intelligence from darknets in hundreds of locations in over 40 countries. The attacks shown are based on a small subset of live flows against the Norse honeypot infrastructure, representing actual worldwide cyber attacks by bad actors. At a glance, one can see which countries are aggressors or targets at the moment, using which type of attacks (services-ports).

Hovering over the ATTACK ORIGINS, ATTACK TARGETS, or ATTACK TYPES will highlight just the attacks emanating from that country or over that service-port respectively. Hovering over any bubble on the map, will highlight only the attacks from that location and type. Press S to toggle table sizes.

Norse exposes its threat intelligence via high-performance, machine-readable APIs in a variety of forms. Norse also provides products and solutions that assist organizations in protecting and mitigating cyber attacks.

What that site is, is a view of a network telescope.

Who's servers are in St.louis?

There are over 15 large datacenters in St. Louis. It's unclear who those datacenters serve. I tried looking a few of them up, but datacenters tend to be a bit coy.
 
I can't get on the store or see my friends or anything on ps4 tonight here on the US West Coast.

My digital copy of Advanced Warfare loads up fine though.
 
Anyone else have to re-log into steam in order to view/vote for the community choice?

edit: even after I log back in, it keeps telling me to log in before I can vote :(
 
Does this also effect download speeds. I can't seem to download GTA V right now. 50/50 connection but getting a few kilobytes per second.
 
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.

Your PS4 is obviously not set as primary for your account.
 
PSN finally UP for me last night.
Because of that attack, I've played only TLOU and watched some LIVE shows.
Minecraft would not start also (kids disappointed).
Was downloading DC Online until the service was taken down, my Christmas vacation ruined.

How's that for a new owner?
