PSN, Battlenet, Riot, and others DDOSed; PSN returning lightly toasted with butter

This shit was obnoxious yesterday. WoW servers were up and down every few minutes.

People in-game kept talking about it being the Lizard Squad people are mentioning here. Not sure what they have against WoW =[
 
What type of infrastrutcture do they use now and what should they do to make it better?

Whatever it takes to stop stigma like this

Does anyone think that this isn't what would be happening all the time if Microsoft went through with their 'always online' stuff as originally announced?
 
I think M.Nelson tweets that often and even if this was a little jab at Sony, i wouldn't mind. Sony uses MS slipup for their PR too (SonyToo).

Do you think anyone takes TIM DOG seriously? Again what do you want Sony to do against a DDoS attack? Something most companies have experienced and will continue to experience.

It's the equivalent of millions of gamers jumping into an online game crashing those servers.
 
I don't even understand their motive.

They say Sony and Blizzard and Eve and GW2 and all those are greedy for not putting money against DDOS? What the hell? I'd rather have free games and be able to play my friend's game from my house to get him through a tough level. The money is being used to provide services. If I went to a local restaurant and some dude came in with a weapon, I wouldn't be mad at them for using the money to provide me better service and a nicer decor instead of putting up metal detectors at the entrance. They don't need to protect against motive-less attacks like this. Secure information, sure. But this is a freakin' DDOS. I mean come on.

Maybe they're are in cahoots with DDoS prevention companies. It's all a bunch of racketeering.
 
We have discusions about Mum mom difference
we have delusional 15 year old nutjobs who just launched a big DDoS attack and consider themsel king of the world.

I smell a GOAT thread in the making. :p
 
Wonder if people are gonna scream for compensation whenever a real downtime due to maintenance happens. jeez people how long did it take for you?
 
But... guys, they're doing it all for the good of humanity!

See? See?

EDIT: Oh, just noticed they mentioned j_smedley. Just kidding.
 
The last few people who made bomb threat jokes on twitter got their info passed on to the FBI from the airlines. They don't fuck around with that stuff.
