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

They are doing it for reactions such as this one. These are just giant internet trolls and they thrive on the attention (hence the twitter accounts announcing/reveling in it).

So we should react by praising them? That bit makes no sense. They do it for attention. He seems to jizz out of his asshole when he gains new followers on twitter, which is what he wants. Fucking morons.
 
Bleh, bunch of attention seekers ruining the whole week for gamers.

Was going to play some more P vs Z Garden Warfare to work on unlocking stuff but looks like I will play some more single player Last of Us Remastered.

Hopefully Sony can get thinks back to normal eventually.
 
Sounds like hardcore Xbox fans are angry. Can't see any other motivation for such an attack. It's sad, whatever their reasons are.
Blaming Xbox fans is so 4 years ago. Looking around the internet, its the PC fanboys that seem to get the most enjoyment out of this crap.

They're the worst type of fanboy in gaming right now.
 
So sony clearly don't spend enough on security, kinda scary since they hold everyone's information including credit card info

I'm sorry, but the credit card info if is not related at all to a DDOS.

Edit: But nevertheless, I'm still only using gift cards to fund my PSN account.

In other news, I can't login to PSN from Europe.

Wait what? Almost all of the outages have been PC games.

I don't think you really understand how this works :(
A DDos attack simply rams the server with a huge amount of false requests. Enough people do it, the server can't handle the amount of false traffic and crashes.

Nothing is being hacked and any idiot can do it.
 
Hope this is fixed by tonight. Was looking forward to a swingshift with some online Diablo 3. =|

Already have to deal with arseholes due to Reading Festival being on right now, didn't want it digitally as well.

But one was PSN.

/Fucklogic.

Also this only really became news when PSN went down. Searching Google it looks like the majority of sites are only pointing out that PSN is being attacked and make mention of the others as merely a side note.

The PSN attack is the main event. Therefore its the one the PC fanboys are dancing around.

Seriously? Your trying to add console warz into this? Don't you think people are already upset enough without that kind of nonsense being introduced into the thread?
 
Have been able to sign in on my Japan account since about 45mins ago. Played a couple of games of USF4 and since then I can't find any matches whatsoever. Fails to create session when I try hosting.

Suspicious and frustrating indeed, but in these situations it's best to just switch off and do something else.
 
They said on Twitter:
"Sony, yet another large company, but they aren't spending the waves of cash they obtain on their customers' PSN service. End the greed."

More than likely they just don't have anything better to do with their free time and crave attention.

Going by that logic, they could have chosen XBL for a target as well, but they didn't, which raises few questions about their agenda.

I'm not trying to bring console warz into this at all actually, I'm trying to suggest a possible culprit based off of their excuse. Everyone knows that companies are attacked by their competitors fans all the time, not just the console world.
 
Uh, this has been happening across a much broader range of networks and services than PSN for a week now.
 
Of course the day that I go to buy a game on the store and its being DDOSed. At least it doesn't seem like it will be that long before functionality is restored.
 
Come on Sony, invest some of that extra PSN money into better servers.

On a more serious note, this should serve as a warning to developers who try to ship their games with an always online requirement. Don't do it, doesn't matter what you're trying to achieve when all it takes for the game to become completely useless is some lame ass cunts who have nothing better to do.

Because "jealous Xbox fans" as a culprit is helping the situation in what way?

Well, they tweeted "PC MASTERRACE" ...
 
Man they need to make those things more visible, I regard myself a hardcore playstaion user and I didn't know about this. I reset my settings etc router the lot hope I didn't break something else now haha.
It was mentioned on IGN quite a few times, can't make GAF your only news source lol.


But yeah, should be a message when you boot up the machine

Battle. Net I think got ddos'd too
 
Jesus always the Juniors with these ridiculous post. Do you even know what a Ddos is?

No need to make with the "Junior" bashing, that isn't needed.
They are evidently not sure what a Ddos is, but hey, why waste your time explaining when you can just be rude to people eh?

It takes longer to write that sentence and then post it than it takes to google it and find out what a ddos is...
