[Recall]

can't they just restart the servers? or is the attack still ongoing? :E

Still on going. I'm sure they've tried what they can but once a DDOS is under way I think you usually just have to, in essence wait it out.

 

[Winter John]

I hope they get caught.

Has Xbox Live ever been under a DDoS attack? I never remember one happening. With all of the hate people have towards Microsoft, you'd think it'd be one of the main places attacked. Or are these pussies scared of messing with them? lol

Not that I remember. I had XBox live since 2008 and can't remember any disruption. Maybe a couple of hours here and there, but nothing that was inconvenient enough to stick out

 

[Bright-Light]

My psn is back.
I'm in uk.

 

[Neuromancer]

this site is dominated by Sony owners and fans

The mods are on Sony's payroll too

 

[Storm Raider]

Damn I have nothing offline to play except for P.T. and nope.

 

[Summer Haze]

Did the Lizard Squad guy tweet something about his own mother spelling it "mom" ?

Inferring he's from the USA due to that spelling.

As EU AUS NZ UK spell it mum.


Anyway I'm out, hope its back up soon.

Wut? I'm from England and have never personally known anyone to say 'mum', or spell it that way.

 

[Dominator]

Yeah don't want hacker gangs blowing up your van.

Exactly man you read my mind.

 

[herod]

Live used to DDoS itself every Christmas.

Several gaming servers have been at the receiving end of DDoS attacks over the past several hours. Blizzard's Battle.net servers, Riot's League of Legends, Grinding Gear Games' Path of Exile, and PlayStation Network are among those under attack by a group of hackers calling themselves Lizard Squad.
Several tweets have gone up throughout Saturday evening, in which Lizard Squad has taken responsibility for the attacks. The group started with Blizzard's servers that include Hearthstone, Diablo 3, World of Warcraft and others. The group quickly spread to League of Legends and Path of Exile before deciding to spread their terror to PlayStation Network. The latter's outage is not related to the scheduled maintenance set to begin Monday morning.
The situation is ongoing, as the various staffs work hard to get the servers active again.

man i wanted to play D3 on PS4 all day.................sunday ruined

Surprised GAF didn't go down since we are on Sony's servers, too.

 

[BearFlexington]

Faaaaaaaaak

How would you stage a DOS attack on PSN or a similar network though?

Is Live in some way structured differently?

 

[Buzzbrad]

Even Brazzers? They really want to piss people off.

 

[Miggytronz]

i just wanna play some bf4 on my ps4.

this!!

Screw those Lizard folks! booo them to hell!!!

Liar.

We do not say Mom in Britain. Never have.

 

[Hidden One]

Nope

Someone call John Sony and make sure he's ok

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Must be dependant on the region, everywhere I've lived (both the south and midlands) people always say Mum.

Nice!

 

[Xando]

Yeah don't want hacker gangs blowing up your van.

Have you seen Watchdogs?
They are gonna blow you up.

 

[phxxBullet]

they also dos gw2,wildstar,runescape,brazzers

they also dos krip last night and one of the devs from blizzard who was gonna stream

Haha.. wait what? Sine when?

I don't get this DDoSing bs, never understood why someone would do this and probably never will. Hacking account infos, ok, I get that.
But they gain nothing by ddosing servers down..

 

[Zukuu]

Never seen "mum".

 

[Hidden One]

Is psn working? I really need my dose of FF14..

 

[sjay1994]

Whats the point of this?

Didn't mean anything nefarious by that comment. You're the one jumping to conclusions it seems. It's a numbers game. 10 million owners and positive Sony karma on the internet is as obvious as the sky is blue. It's a neutral perspective.

 

[Dragonborn]

So I just woke up. What's going on exactly? Should I not turn on my PS systems?

 

[CriterionDog]

Can anyone else log into their user on the log in screen on their PS4? I can't.

 

[eznark]

Unable to preload Madden. Digital Future!

 

[sjay1994]

and dota

and cs go

and brazzers

they just try and hit everything

 

[DarkLegion]

I was playing sc2 last night and got booted. Thing is I lost connection entirely on my computer to everything, but all my other devices work fine.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

So I just woke up. What's going on exactly? Should I not turn on my PS systems?

You can turn on your systems. Internet scoundrels did a DDOS attack which basically just clogs things up so you can't log in. You're not at risk.

 

[Headhunter]

*whenyouseeit*

 

[Iorv3th]

Did you disconnect it from the internet?

 

[Pankratous]

Err....

If I had potentially found links to Lizard Squads personal details (including names, numbers etc), would I be allowed to post it here?

 

[Dragonborn]

Ah, alrighty then. Thanks man. Was trying to get through the thread but it's too big haha.

 

[Noob Fu]

I F'd up bad. I woke up this morning around 5am EST (Florida). As I was eating BFast I was here and couple other sites and saw nothing about PSN being hacked. I booted up my PS4 to login some D3. The PS4 just loads to blue screen with the wave going on for minutes, when it does get to the menu it's locked up, I can't move my controller around. I could press the PS button to shut down. I tried a few times and same thing. I freaked out!. Did a stupid thing and did the safe boot and reinstated it back to factory settings.
Tried to log in and nothing. Was not till about 6am or so that I saw that its been hacked. Now I'm not to mad about having to redownload all my games (i'm all digital) but I am pissed that my saves (namely Diablo 3) will be gone.
Please, please someone tell me it auto backs up like the PS3 did.

 

[LOLCats]

Cant imagine how hard it would be try and mitigate an attack like this. You cant just start blocking ip ranges risking interrupting actual customers. Makes me wonder what type if requests are being used.

 

[CriterionDog]

I would try, but I'm connected to WiFi. And I can't really disconnect the WiFi from my system because I can't get to settings. I can try resetting my router or turning it off temporarily. Doing it now

 

[Einbroch]

Brazzers?

YouPorn going all out to get that sweet Dota/League sponsorship.

 

[Winter John]

Must be dependant on the region, everywhere I've lived (both the south and midlands) people always say Mum.

It surprised me because I've never met anyone who doesn't use "mum" or "ma."

 

[Summer Haze]

Liar.

We do not say Mom in Britain. Never have.

Not sure if serious....

Must be dependant on the region, everywhere I've lived (both the south and midlands) people always say Mum.

I'm from the Midlands, Birmingham to be exact. I've seen it used on TV, but never irl. It sounds so stupid. Mother = Mom. It's not spelled 'Muther'.

Anyway, let's not go off-topic

It does. Did you make sure the setting was on?

this guys is goofball, he is posting this because that is the flight that the president of SOE is on. How old is he? 15?

Lol probably not. You could maybe link it if someone tweeted it?

 

[simplythebest]

Sony may need to invest on better infrastructure real soon

 

[Khayam]

I'm not British but from I saw in Luther (great show), it exists.

That girl has the must mumesque "Mum" of all time

 

[Hellshy.]

So I just woke up. What's going on exactly? Should I not turn on my PS systems?

Why would u not be able to do that? U can vs till play offline and use Netflix app and the like. It's not a hack

 

[Pankratous]

Lol probably not. You could maybe link it if someone tweeted it?

It's on pastebin and skidpaste. Full list of their names, addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses.
Edit: If it is actually them.
