i hope they enjoy prison

Their future is so bright they're gonna have to wear shades

 

[todd360]

Well it's good that I planned to mow the grass before playing some ps4 haha. Takes over 2 hours to mow the grass so it should be back up then hopefully.

Where's my free gamez? Lol just kidding.

 

[Derpcrawler]

Sorta kinda.

"Now part of Akamai", which is what Sony is using. So it didn't quite work out for them, did it?

 

[Nokterian]

I mean there up to date now just 6 hours late but ok. Hope to see it restored fast.

 

[Pankratous]

Maybe be clearer in the title that it's not a hack? Apparantly half the people here don't know what a DDoS attack is.

Have those people used the internet before? Or read the news? DDoS is a very well known attack...

 

[TheQuake]

It always amazes me that people do not read thread titles or the OP but post foolishness anyway.

If you are talking about people not knowing the difference between a hack and DDoS, then you kind of have to forgive them. Not everyone that posts here knows the terminology.

 

[LX_Theo]

I am not IT guy, so i wonder, is there any successful preventive against large DDoS attacks?

Considering that the compromised systems that cause it are one hundred percent out of control of the company? No.

 

[TheJLC]

Just remove the name of the people claiming responsibility. No need to credit them and it doesn't make any sense in the title.

 

[Demetrius]

It's "funny" time again.

Hope he's not joking.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

It's "funny" time again.

 

[Summer Haze]

If you are talking about people not knowing the difference between a hack and DDoS, then you kind of have to forgive them. Not everyone that posts here knows the terminology.

Then they should at least Google it before commenting. That's if they've already missed the numerous comments from people explaining what a DDoS attack is.

 

[ohlawd]

just don't target XBL or Nintendo's online

I wanna play MH later.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Going to best buy to get extra 50% trade in value ($40 for CoD! PS4). Nothing else to do due to these terrorist supporting fucks. Picking up Diablo 3 and then won't be as to play it! Grrr

 

[JCizzle]

Still can't play my single player games I bought digitally. What a shitty fucking system they have.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

These a- holes attacked Brazzers too?

Send the Sony police force Kaz!!!

 

[Ambition]

WHAT?! 40$ credit for trading in COD Ghosts?!

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Well I was in bed when this happened, but I could have been awake playing Diablo. If the haxxor stopped me getting a legendary item I would have been very upset. Sony better send me a free PS4, the bastards.

 

[Nokterian]

You can play it just don't plug in your Ethernet cable in your ps4.

 

[Eggbok]

I mean there up to date now just 6 hours late but ok. Hope to see it restored fast.

You know they've been working on this for hours right?

 

[BronsonLee]

Wait...what?

Nate plz, we need you to shoot thousands of people in Uncharted 4

 

[GravityMan]

There is no reason for someone to do something like this.

Some people unleash DDoS attacks on services just for the fun of it. Dunno if that's true for Lizard Squad.

 

[LycanXIII]

Do I seriously pay $60 a year for this?

Can something similar happen to Xbox Live?

Live had quite a few moments where it was having problems just the other week.

 

[dmr87]

 

[blackjaw]

YES! YES! YES! YES!

HELL YES!

I'll probably be given some free game(s) and store credits because of this!
And I wasn't even affected LOL.

I also have a Blizzard account, does Blizzard ever give out free shit?

This is embarrassing. The sense of entitlement...

 

[doomquake]

Destiny will surely be fun with such happenings.

 

[Goldmund]

They should be using their skills and expertise for something greater (better) than disrupting user's entertainment and endangering user information.

Some of them surely will eventually. And on some level the "disrupting entertainment" part sounds appealing.

 

[TheQuake]

Then they should at least Google it before commenting. That's if they've already missed the numerous comments from people explaining what a DDoS attack is.

I agree they should read the thread and look for their answers, but I know some people on that post on here will not research for shit. That whole EA Access thread awhile back, many people didn't know how the basic features of the service works, some even subscribed and still didn't know. I guess that's what forums have to deal with.

 

[Nugg]

The difference between a hack and a DDOS is basically the same as having someone breaking into your house versus having an asshole parked in front of your driveway blocking your car.

It's annoying, yes, but don't panic, your data is safe.

 

[LX_Theo]

Still can't play my single player games I bought digitally. What a shitty fucking system they have.

Is your system not set up as your primary system? That's all you need to play digital games bought offline.

 

[gai_shain]

YES! YES! YES! YES!

HELL YES!

[Sporran]

Been on BF4 for the last hour about 5 servers live :s

 

[JCizzle]

It is. It's still not working.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

YES! YES! YES! YES!

HELL YES!

It's funny because you won't actually even get anything free because it's just a DDoS YES YES YES LOL!

 

[ToVenusAndBack]

It is. It's still not working.

Same here.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Please. If the feds were really there, they wouldn't be typing on a keyboard about it.

 

[Gusto]

I heard that Sony will give us Agent and The Last Guardian for free because of this.

Blahahahaha Sony should just say those where stolen with the hack. Then all is forgiven.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

The difference between a hack and a DDOS is basically the same as having someone breaking into your house versus having an asshole parked in front of your driveway blocking your car.

It's annoying, yes, but don't panic, your data is safe.

I approve of this analogy.

 

[CambriaRising]

It is. It's still not working.

Go to Settings>Network>Uncheck "Connect to Internet"

Edit: By the way mine are working without having to do this.

 

[Agent]

Well, I was able to play an hour of BF4. Just got kicked off EA Servers and then PSN disconnected a minute later. I can't connect again.

 

[Magwik]

New thread title, yay

 

[iamnosuperman]

I feel that this fed thing is a lie but funny if true. Kind of deserves it. Not just because of the ddos but because he was tweeting about it. How stupid do you have to be to do that

 

[D6AMIA6N]

Same here.

Same here. This is BS

 

[jwk94]

Still can't play my single player games I bought digitally. What a shitty fucking system they have.

Did you set your PS4 as your primary?

 

[Nathan_Drake]

WHAT?! 40$ credit for trading in COD Ghosts?!

yeah for a few more days. 27.00 base plus 50%. 32 for NFS and Wolfenstein as well! Going in now. Will confirm

 

[orochi91]

What sucks is that even if Sony does decide to give out free shit because of this,
the first-party offering is pretty paltry. Already have Resogun and Infamous.

I want Killzone, Knack, Hohokum, and/or Flower. Maybe Transistor?

 

[Angelus Errare]

Then they should at least Google it before commenting. That's if they've already missed the numerous comments from people explaining what a DDoS attack is.

This.

 

[2+2=5]

It's "funny" time again.

Posting on twitter that feds came for me is EXACTLY what i would do in that case.

 

[lukeskymac]

It could happen, but that's already the second time it happens on Sony PSN, never happened on Xbox Live instead so far.
I guess now everybody will claim that Microsoft paid this haker to attack Sony, Microsoft is the new big evil of videogames.

 

[Bl4ckSunsh1n3]

Please. If the feds were really there, they wouldn't be typing on a keyboard about it.

Given the maturity level of the peons posting to their Twitter, I'm thinking that they might want to broadcast that. Still another bullshit tweet but, I could see it happening.

 

[LX_Theo]

It is. It's still not working.

Then I don't believe you. The system has literally nothing to do with PSN once you get it set up as your primary system.
