I say aeroplane all the time. airplane just sounds wrong, it doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.

As a kid I thought the movie "Airplane" was spelled like that as part of the joke for it being a comedy. It was only when I was older that i realized the true horror.

 

[hesido]

Those who think only the "flight prank" is worthy of serious punishment is wrong. If you are willfully blocking access to a service millions of people are using (even if that service would be something like "Second Life"), you should be facing serious penalties.

XBL is coming out of this looking good compared to PSN as far as vulnerability to DDOS attacks goes.

You are coming out of this looking good too.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

can a mod seriously start banning these guys that keep saying xbl is immune to a ddos. Its wrong even government agancies sites have been ddos.

 

[Magwik]

The flagrant disregard for the FBI is funny/admirable but the airplane stuff is way over the line. Never understood why these people don't fuck with companies/people that are actually bad.

Because they are 12 and have some weird vendetta against Sony.

Mumsnet is a scary organisation.

 

[iNvid02]

mumsnet has been unmasked as the masterminds of these attacks, lizardsquad being a front to take the heat

I can't play any downloaded games. I only have one PS4, so I'm not sure the "primary ps4" thing should apply to me.

Don't think it's that serious.

I'd imagine MS know more about security measures than some US government agency.

 

[ShodanMAN]

When I think about what other, bigger hacker groups must be thinking about Lizard Squad and their entry level DDoS shenanigans. I can't get this out my head.

It's back on PS3 and vita, but PS4 is still shitting the bed.

It hasn't been down for me, as I've been logged in on the PS3 the most of yesterday, and nearly eight hours today.

Knack, Alienation and 30 month ps+ trial then.

When's the FBI going to break down the dude's front door?

no need, sure their MUMS will answer the door.

Fuck these douchers.

Me and Heathen are writing the SyFy Original script right now:

It's about this internet terrorist who takes down all the internet's favourite things, but Lizards take credit. So he starts a war with them.
However, all the E-Sport Superstars come together to form a Super Team and use their keyboard skills for good to fight the Internet Terrorist. It's a tough battle and it looks like they're going to be defeated when suddenly... PORN BARONS TO THE RESCUE!

Meanwhile in England, disgruntled OAPs form a ragtag army in retaliation to the BBC going down - after all an attack on the BBC is an attack on The Queen. We love ya Mum!

Starring:

Dean Cain
Dean Stockwell
Tara Reid
Kurt Angle

The mums of england are DDoSing psn.

The Moms of America abandoned the data centres for soccer practice. Poor show really.

 

[arimanius]

Okay, now this is truly disgusting.

website is fine for me. Donations are working too.

(It's an old tweet)

old tweet is old. thank ya

 

[Philly40]

me mams car

"muh maw's motor" is how I would say it

 

[Freshmaker]

Is the whole purpose of a DDoS-attack to.....bring an onlineservice to it´s knees ...just because or are they trying to steal something ?

Edit: It don´t know which reason would reflect more poorly on the hackers.

Nah. It's mainly just to be jerks.

 

[robo]

Okay, now this is truly disgusting.

thing that gets me is there are people who favorite these posts!!

Beggars believe in human nature sometimes.

The most surprising thing to come out of this is how many people didn't perform a basic step of system setup and activation.

You are coming out of this looking good too.

But seriously I don't think XBL is immune to these things at all.

I was out until you mentioned Kurt Angle, now I'm in.

 

[krypt0nian]

I cant believe people are bringing in system wars because of a freaking DDos attack.

I would have expected more, but I suppose some actually do have douche limits.

I didn't favorite this, but I only use favorites on Twitter as a bookmark so I can find certain tweets again later.

 

[ViciousDS]

Whatever, got back from gamestop seems nothing's changed. Best part was hat someone stole the game case for the new copy of ni no kuni......and they had a case for the used copy. Now that's fucking pathetic. Would have went to best buy but the nearest one was like 80 miles away.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

'Nobody says mum in the UK' is a classic.

I mean wtf lol. That's what everyone says! That quote is preposterous.

Disconnect your PS4 from the internet. Here is what happens, your PS4 checks the connection to Sony's servers and can't connect even though it can ping it. PS4 assumes either PSN or your PS4 is compromised. It's a feature to block hacked consoles from playing games through PSN.

scum of the earth

 

[The Antitype]

I don't know why people are surprised or so against the notion that XBL would be harder to hack than PSN.

Microsoft is a software company that's been producing online software solutions for decades. They have a lot more experience in it than a hardware company that's only been offering a centralized online service for about 10 years.

 

[R3TRO]

I hope they drop a icebucket full of ebola on his ass

Damn.

 

[Uno Venova]

But seriously I don't think XBL is immune to these things at all.

I looked at tweets in this thread, and it seems like they tried, but XBL isn't as vulnerable, it must be nice to know that faux hackers can try, but your online gaming won't be interrupted.

 

[LX_Theo]

Okay, now this is truly disgusting.

Man, there is no way they aren't trying to troll with bullshit like that,
