DDOS attacks - targeting PSN, Spotify, Netflix, Comcast, etc

Ah.
Rip.
According the Dyn, the 3rd wave just went underway
Ha, good. Maybe they will learn something from this as in the future, it will only get worse (since the IoT is still in the early stages). I doubt that though.
I wonder if Putin is doing it because Trump didn't wanna be his friend.
The future of the internet looks bleak.
tin foil hat mode:
Governments want that fully controlled internet 2 and will make the internet 1 unusable so people will want the internet 2 to login to their twitters and facebooks.
Back to normal:
This IoT devices with their default passwords.. I think it should be mandated that every IoT device come with unique password that is put with stickers or whatever on their user manual. This could lower some of the burden.

I will be home at 9AM and want to play Cod beta and Black Ops 3 =/
Appears to be working, somewhat.
Managed to get on PSN to purchase a membership for PS+ so let's hope the online works...
Toasters. 4th wave will be roombas and then, as final boss, the Robomow Queen.
This is apparently a result of an extortion attempt.

I just got in too.
I have friends coming over tomorrow to play some vr, thought I was not gonna have any games to play. Now hopefully I can get some downloaded.
I hear ya, I was looking forward to FF14 tonight, keeping my fingers crossed as well.
Was about to post something very similar. In other words, US-based services will get VERY spotty quickly.

*looks up "kids in america agumon" on YouTube*
*cries in horror at cover version that is somehow even worse than the one in Rock Band 3*
*links to one true version in futile attempt to convince kids of faulty premise that old stuff is better than new stuff*
*finally gives up and inserts knowing reference to East California in post*

Hmm I might need a reminder. Probably not though as it was probably on two different channels.

That would require governments to get off their lazy asses and do stuff.
Nah, the more likely thing might be some kind of regulation which tells people who can't maintain their network security to fuck off the net (if things got really dire).

Some Republican talking head on CNN says that this happened because SOPA didn't pass.
I can't invade though, I'm online but I can't do any online interactions so far.
