He knows too much!



I'm pretty sure diverting a plane with a bomb threat is punishable regardless of anything else.

Spoiler

At this point I feel like neither of these idiots are responsible.

"FamedGod" says there is another person involved. I think "TheUnexpected" but I can't find the handle on Twitter now.

 

[Remark]

Yep, it's down for me too.

Gaming ain't safe no more.

 

[mreddie]

What the fuck is going on?

 

[Phreaker]

Hard to tell given the current conversation, but did you guys hear Sony told Game Informer the FBI are involved, and they have no additional comment?

I wouldn't doubt it. They caused a plane to be diverted with John Smedley on board: https://twitter.com/j_smedley

Xbl has been fine. No issues yet.

 

[OmegaDL50]

But if you cross something out, you put a "X" through it

the symbols on the sony remote are not letters, so it's not the letter "x," it's a cross symbol.

Yep

Triangle is a SHAPE, Square is a SHAPE, Circle is a SHAPE,

Ecks / X is not a fucking Shape. All four buttons are shapes.

A cross is a geometrical figure consisting of two lines or bars perpendicular to each other, dividing one or two of the lines in half. In the case of the Sony controller, it's a Saltire which is a "Diagonal Cross"

Yes people say it's the "X" button, simply because X button is just easier to say then the Cross button.

The four face buttons on the PS controllers are based on shapes. It would be terribly inconsistent if 3 of the 4 buttons were shapes and one wasn't.

[StarlordDial]

I've read a lot of crazy things in this thread, but the concept of RtH being anywhere near a 6.5 is by far the most unbelievable thing I've seen so far.

1.5? then

 

[DDDJDAN]

Possibly. It would be foolish to assume that they're totally immune, but they definitely have more experience in dealing with these sort of attacks compared to Sony. MS have been involved with online services for ages, and as such are a huge target for hackers/script kiddies. It makes sense that they can more easily deal with this sort of thing.

Also, bonus GIF:

The Seattle area (most likely MS HQ) being targeted by hackers. And that's just in one morning.

Where is that from?

 

[Derphoof]

So, Ive been reading about cyber terrorist attacks/diverting flights that the Sony President is on?

Yup. They tweeted that there was a bomb on his flight. They diverted it to Phoenix.

Brazen.

Something tells me DBAN wouldn't save them when caught.

Actually it's "Maaaaaa".

And "Va" for the father.

Didn't Sony say they were actually doing the maintenance now instead of tomorrow?

So should I not expect to be on my ps4 tonight?

That means... We're in DEFCON 1!!!!

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Makes sense, though that wasn't clear because every time PSN gets hammered (or apparently when a DDoS strike occurs) it always says they're down for maintenance.

The number of reported "dawns" for Xbox Live has decreased significantly. http://downdetector.com/status/xbox-live

I guess the DDoS attack on XBL has failed.

Few and far between it seems. Access still working on my end and most. Lag is present for some. The attack would be considered unsuccessful so far, if it's even going on.

 

[Vantriztic]

Nah. 1/10 is broken. 6/10 is below average (a failure), so you need to be held back a grade and try again.

And therein lies the very problem with numbered scales; every person has a different scale and a different meaning for what each number represents. There is no universal scale when can measure games.

Well, it does make sense. They've been in the game for so long, they had to learn how to defend themselves. That gif is pretty cool, thanks

Well, I hope both companies can get through this as soon as possible, and maybe this punk gets caught and brought to justice. Especially the ones who got that plane diverted. That shit is not right.
