XBL is running slow for me but I can at least still play on it.

Fired Microsoft employee's remark about living in certain places.
Dat speed. I can get 505 megs down with Comcast but they want me to get television and a phone line. No thanks.Or maybe you should stop telling others what to do and give BS advices, please leave your misinformation about Wi-Fi latency to yourself, since I get sub 1ms latency through Wi-Fi to hosts 30-70km away from my home.
Through Wi-Fi:
Through 1Gbps ethernet:
Your up is pretty bad, though.

It isn't hacking, it's generating huge amounts of traffic
What was your question?
If you think you're CC info's at risk, it's not. DDOS attacks are external, nothing internal is accessed.
Edit: Oh. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that your account's cc is applied to all systems, so taking it off would take it off of all systems.

And that's why they're worthless.
*gasp* Do I detect consensus in this thread? I should inform my

What was your question?
True. Not forged though. Thread's moved on since then. Just check out the twitter. That's been the most reliable source so far.
Ok now I know this guy is a fan boy since this has nothing to do with security and he's praising ms. This is retarded
It says the 24 the now

God damn it. Okay frizby cancel those multi-quotes.
it's mainly a dumping ground for stupid shit. if you're asking about your credit card -- a DDOS attack is just a flood of requests that overload the servers, they aren't capable of actually acquiring information like your CC info.

from what we know so far it wasn't a hack for info just a DDOS to knock the PSN Service out and annoy us all
This is not a hack. Your info is safe. It doesn't matter what you used to remove it.

Its all kept in the same SEN account page, so you're fine. However they did just post that its a standard DDOS, and no personal information was gotten to. http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014...te/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

EDIT: Your situation is not the usual one and it is common knowledge that wifi can also screw up your latency.
The hostility in this thread is mind-blowing.

you unplug it from the internet when that happens

I should think so since it should be linked to your account. You don't need to worry about anyone taking your info right now anyway.
The network security wasn't breached, no user data was compromised.

PS4?

I can get on PS3 and Vita PSN, but not PS4, maybe they're doing the maintinence now, instead of taking PSN down tommorow.
Not a hack but glad it's working

Still says it's down here...
What does it mean?

He's probably PS3 or Vita. Neither of those seem to have been effected.

Heh, I know this wasn't a hack and my CC info is safe for the time being. This is just a precaution that I failed to take a couple years ago when PSN was actually hacked.
Thank you all for responding.

My PS4 was activated as my primary system, I still can't access any digital content due to license issues. Anyone else in the same boat?
As always, only if they're circumcised.
