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

I would think dox on anyone would be big nono, even if the anyone are the badguys. Even bad guys have innocent families.
Dude there isn't much you can do against an attack like this. Riot servers, and Blizzard servers have been attacked. This same attack has been used against Xbox live before as well.

That's not how it works. XBL was DDoS's this year, even though they have the "better online infrastructure".
I hate that term.
Not sure if serious....
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
Lots of people say mum. Mom is the american one (As in the phrase Mom and Pop). Of course up her in the grim North it's generally mam.
PSN offline for a few hours and we devolve into this! I'm stocking up on petrol and buying a leather jacket.
Remember that clock error where people were actually advised to not turn on their ps3?
That was a crazy day

I turned off my PS4 and turned it back on. I pressed the PS button and X on my profile. And it just sits there. When I press or move the controller, nothing happens. This is the second time. I can't even log into my user.All I can do is hold the PS button and turn off the system. When I'm on this menu I can use my controller though.
I've got the same thing happening to my ps4 as well. I guess I'll just watch Netflix on the PS3 or game there until this clears up.
I suppose it depends on where you come from. Up here we have a tendency of over emphasising our a vowel. Mom would sound stupid with our accent. Mam fits it well. Mum is just horrible to me.

Do you buy Mother's Day cards?
You have Mother, Mum and Mummy. But yes let's not go crying to our Mothers.

Shhh... no need to back up ignorant statements. Only console wars now.
I can't even launch any of my apps. They all have locks next to them along with all my digital content.
Only thing i really have access to is live from playstation

So, how long until someone requests their IP address from Twitter now? Fake bomb threats to AA is a pretty big deal.
The feds typically aren't fond of someone screaming "COME ARREST ME PLEASE, I DARE YOU" on the internet.

There's a severe deficit of "Mam" greetings cards.

Well, i'm pretty sure they've taken precautions against that if they're doing something this blatant. They know the feds will be requesting it at this point.
Ask a mod, but yeah, probably not. In fact, if you think it could lead to a prosecution of some sorts, you should send it to the right authorities.

It'll happen today. You absolutely can not screw around with bomb threats or hoaxes. FBI frowns on that kind of thing.

It is a huge pain in the ass. I work as a supervisor at an ISP, and this summer we had a week long DDoS attack across 4 states. Whoever was doing it simply stopped at one point, waited a few days, then started right back in. I was on a conference call with our network engineers through most of it, and it was fascinating listening to them try to block the attacks in real time. Most of their talk went over my head, but it was cool listening to them make constant changes and spit out results.

Can I assume the hackers have found personal details and Mr Smedley is one of them? Then gotten into Lizard Squad's Twitter and stolen his metaphorical paddle from his journey up Shit Creek?
EDIT: Wrong, J. Smedley is part of Sony. Well well ,this got interesting.

They really are starting to push their luck now, aren't they? I can just picture the crying teenager on the news.
The only English people I've ever known to say or write "Mom" are all from the Midlands so... it's just you guys.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'.

Not even a little bit. I can't imagine why someone would think that was appropriate.

Is your reading comprehension being affected by Kryptonite or something? There was nothing nefarious about my comment. Sony mindshare is currently very strong. There's nothing emotional or biased about stating such a fact.
Stop being so insecure.

Correcting my earlier post, it doesn't seem to be all of the members details, just one specifically. Who could I even tell about this?
