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

We were too poor to get mail, so we just fapped when the mailman walked past

I never learned to read so I bought animated jiff porn from the back of computer part catalogs.... 3.5inches of action.... the disk you bastards!
 
If destiny were out, it would be totally unplayable today wouldn't it?

Yep. Not because of DDoS, but because a bajillion people are going to be on day one.

I fear for PSN/XBL come September 9. Shit's going to crawl to a halt for the first day or two.
 
Wow, can't believe this thread exploded as much as it did XD! Sites being shut down, bomb threats, mum vs. mom debates, Infamous SS quality debate, XBL getting DDOSed, and even a hacking war booming! Today was a grand event, I must say :D.

Granted, it is a shame that Sony Online president was threatened (which is really messed X() and that many PS4 owners were unable to play there games, but.....it looks like things will get better :).

PSN on PS3 and Vita is back online for most regions (I know it is for NA; been working for me for a while now) and XBL while slow is still working well, so there is hope that the other sites effected get fixed and that the PS4's online is working good again by tomorrow :D.

.....Gotta say though, NeoGaf is priceless man XD! Times like these makes me glad that the mods approved me to be a member here :').
 
You need a LOT of compromised computers to cause a DDoS attack of significant effect.

I think.

Or have access to a server farm.

I wouldn't be surprised if these script kiddies' parents have access to servers and they're just using them for the DDoS attacks.
 
Yeah didn't they say Microsoft was next?

if they felt a threat was coming they tech did have time to prepare since sony was hit first, that would put up a red flag for them and be ready and take extra measures insuring they can fix the problem fast
 
Eh...no, I just wanted to know whether there were ways to defend against ddos attacks. I never said I was an expert.

No you just claimed that Sony had no "DDoS security" and hasn't upgraded their server infrastructure

Wow, seems Sony didn't learn shit since the 2011 PSN hack. Fucking pathetic. A lot of people saying how these hackers are amateurs, but yet they crippled the entire PSN servers for at least a day, really shows how Sony didn't do squat to upgrade and protect their servers for amateuristic ddos attacks.

What some people? Sony got hacked to hell in 2011 and got personal information from 77 million accounts stolen and yet their servers are still so easy to get crippled. I don't give a shit about the video, what I do know is that I can't sign-in into PSN and play the games I want to play for an entire day. The fact that other sites got easily hacked too doesn't mean it's okay for Sony's to be slacking with their servers. Some people...

which is 100% false. So explain to me how you can go about making such claims and calling a DDoS attack "amateuristic" without being "an expert." That is unless you want to just come out and admit you were talking out your ass. It might work out better for you if you just admit it instead of denying it.
