So are you saying that massive, billion dollar services like Twitter or PayPal just don't take security seriously enough? "I can log into GAF but not Twitter!?! Get it together!" Read up on how these kinds of attacks work.
I was able to play Destiny six hours ago, and again a couple of hours ago. It was only a brief period inbetween, when I couldn't go past the character selection screen. From a Finnish perspective, it seems like it wasn't that successful attack.
"PSN is down? Damn, I'll watch Black Mirror on Netflix inste... fuck! What is going on? Guess I'll check Reddit..."
I'm not so sure about that. I'm in NY state and I can get online on my PC just fine. I can also get into a MP game on Xbox one. On PS4 I get an error when I try to play BF1 or even just go to the store. I tried changing the DNS servers to the Google servers as suggested above, first in my PS4 network settings and then in my router config, which didn't help. If I go to my PS4 test network option, I intermittently connect or fail to connect to PSN.
There is a widespread DDOS attack but once again PSN seems especially weak in its ability to stay up while other services are still working. I'm pissed because I burned a vacation day to play Battlefield, not deal with this BS.
Why do they attack that service ?
Well I'm not on my primary PS4 right now so I can't play my digital games :/Europe seems to be largely unaffected, the US was hit the hardest.

It's the DNS servers from Dyn and it's affecting so many huge service providers, not an attack on Sony directly. You're embarrassing yourself.
Could be a cyberattack since "Department of Homeland Security is taking a close look at the "malicious activity":

I tried to tweet about the attack before realising how that wasn't a smart idea.Can't even load Tweetdeck. This is awful.

In Poland PSN is also down.

Because it gets the funny reactions they are after and "outrage" with all these threads. Then a group claim responsibility, you folks flip out and make it more entertaining and circulate the name giving them notoriety - rinse and repeat
Twitter and PSN have gone down for me here in Ireland during the last hour. Don't know if that definitely means it's spreading everywhere over here but it's not looking good.
Time to read some books guys...oh who am I kidding.
Yeah, I posted a link on the previous page from Level3, UK, Ireland and France also seem to be having some issues.
holy shit
ten bucks says this is Russia
You can add portugal to the list. Funny thing is 10 minutes ago i was playing SF5 against a french guy. But was getting very slow matchmakings so decided to do a conection test and now just say PSN down.
Let's try to get you tagged today. lmao!My console is connected to the internet, my nuts are moderate
