PSN Is down LizardSquad has taken full responsibility for the DDOS attack from today

[Vespian]

While true that really has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Dosen't matter if DDOS is hacking or the group is hackers or not. If the reports are true they effected a lot of Game Service's.

Ether way they need to fuck off so I can play D3 Ultimate evil edition on my ps4 lol via co-op with friends.

Difference is, it's not hacking, so it need not be reported

DDOS-ing = modern terrorism.

Well that is true. My point was if it was a real hack and not this DDoS BS then it would have to be reported.

I don't know when Bnet and PoE was effected. Just going off the link above and what twitter posts I seen.

ill update when I find out more. But this may have effected more then psn.

they've been doing it off and on the last few days.

Pwned! Take that console kids!

You're too cool for school.

Those nerds won't last a week in prison.

[Dispersedshadow]

At the rate this is going...maybe we need a DDoS sub forum?

The more they do it, the higher the chance of being found out. Eventually something will crack and then it's time to become someone's bitch or not be allowed to get within 2 meters of a computer for the next 50 years.

Gonna be a nice long federal prison sentence if these guys get caught in the U.S.

This has also affected Blizzard games and servers...

Yeah but then its not playstationnetwork they have taken down, then its more likely a server hub or communication router and they were lucky that it effected other things.

They are probaly payed by others to do the dirty work. Or they just hate the company.
Take your pick.

I think last night when I looked at their twitter they were taking down games because some Twitch streamer (Kaceytron) refused to write something on her forehead for them, so they took down LoL/Hearthstone/WoW, which is a few things she normally "streams" (Streams in quotes because I'm sure someone here knows what Kaceytron really does).

So basically it sounds like they're doing it as a "LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN DO GUISE"

Miiiight explain why my experience with PoE in terms of figuring out what is actual desync and lag, has been getting worse :P

Look what everyone can do if they are bored enough and stupid enough to think someone will remember their name in a week.

Exactly, I've already forgotten the names of the last groups who did this like 4 months ago or something?

[DiscoGhost]

i thought it was acting kinda goofy today.

DDos'ing a server doesn't make you a hacker, these kids are just retarded. And this thread only gives them the attention they want.

[Teebone]

Pwned! Take that console kids!

Fuck you, asshole. As if PC games never get hacked. My one day off and I gotta deal with this shit.

[Sorrior]

I wonder if PSN was getting hit last night as well. While playing with a friend both of us was rubber band laging a bit. It was still playable since it didn't happen as much.

But its been down all day since I have been awake at lease.

At least in FFXIV there were no issues.

[Teebone]

Why can't these assholes ever do anything useful like take down ISIS's network? Oh wait, that requires balls... which clearly, they do not possess.

A 4-page thread on a off-shoot sub-forum of MMO-Champion isn't really "attention."
