LIZARD SQUAD is Back. Planning XBL Attack. "Biggest attack yet". [UP: XBL/PSN Down]
- Thread starter Horse Armour
- Start date
Console warriors are out in full force now. Great.
Truth is that none of you "experts" have the first idea what's actually happening. Could be that North Korea also attacked Sony in some way (said they would). Could be that the Feds are involved due to the whole "Interview" fiasco and are slowing things down. Could be that Sony were attacked differently or more aggressively in the first place.
Point is that some of you are drawing all kinds of dumbass conclusions absent a bunch of really key facts. And depending on the situation, they may not be facts that Sony can divulge.
But by all means, shit up NeoGAF with your assumptions.

It hasn't even been three days. Christ where did some of you guys learn math?
Time zones, how do they work?

its a fake account that keeps asking people to follow other people account and to retweet to win a lifetime supply of ps plus....
This sort of shit should be bannable. Absolutely shameful.

Calm down friend. There are no "console warriors" here, just gamers.
Same. Probably everyone trying to get on now is what's causing it.
No not ridiculous at all. This isn't the first time they did this and they think they are hot shit. "we did it for the lulz." Seriously? What part of any of this is funny?
You know what's a funny use of internet smarts? Hacking a youtube account. When someone took over the Seasame Street youtube and replaced it with brazzers----that was definitely lulz.
These morons would NOT be missed. Better people die everyday in awful ways...but these guys get to roam free? Also, why would we want them in jail? To soak up more time and money from others? Forget it. Bullet in the brain---done. A lesson to stop being a jack off because you are a dingle berry.
Based off that picture he is from a high inbreeding society. :/

The DDoS attacks started around 1PM EST on Dec 24.
That was when XBL and PSN went down, hard, instantly. There were periods where either one might work for some people, depending on a billion factors, but that is the moment where things went downhill.
It is now Dec 27.

you guys made me curious to see if PS4 is still down and yup it is, the shopping section is just a blue screen with only the cancel button showing.

I'm wagering their is a fair amount on incompetence here on Sony's part.
This view is based on the presumption that the attacks are being spread out equally. It is no shock to me that Sony can't get their shit together when it comes to network infrastructure and planning.
Good time to be a dual console owner I guess.
Hopefully this is a lesson learned for Sony.

Errm...what?
We're early on the third day. Which equals less than three days.
Then it needs to be a free service if it cannot handle all the users at one time. Simple as that.
That's too far. Think of something more like this.
Didn't Homer help him in that episode to keep the store?

I'd vote for him.
Is there any subscription based internet service that's worse than PSN?
Downtime at least 1x a week at prime time no less
Utter lack of updates during downtimes
Maintenance only occasionally posted about in advance
3+ days and counting to get the service back up after a simple ddos

Still can't connect on PS4 in Southern Ontario. same message, "Cannot connect to the server within the time limit. (NW-31456-9)". :/ 3 days ina row now. Ps3 and Vita work fine though.
And you are still wrong. It started going out on Xmas Eve night... period. And this is the third full day of it being out for many.

Yep, on both 360 and One. Maybe since 6pm EST on Christmas.
PSN has been down for my PS4 since it was unwrapped.

They are probably spending time with family and friends during the holidays, not playing games.
Usually I refrain from making fun of one's physical appearance, but damn homie..
That really tells me all I need to know about these guys...
Derp level over 9000.
No it's not actually as simple as that. At all. Go educate yourself before responding to subjects you know zero about.

Started late night on the 24th here. Early afternoon on the 27th now. Won't be three days until tonight.
Lucky! My vita won't sign in and I have a new 64 GB card with nothing on it

This is a vastly uneducated view on how large scale networks work. Sorry man but you simply sound ignorant when it comes to this stuff.

Then you were one of the lucky ones. Xbox Support confirmed issues starting Dec 24, and since.
You're saying a paid service service shouldn't be able to handle all the paid users at once? That is an ignorant line of thinking and why companies are fucking us with paltry bandwidth and why the network is still down.
So their excuse is to raise awareness of poor cyber security...by using a ddos attack which doesn't compromise anyone's data and mostly just harms the customers by preventing them from playing games during their holidays? Yeah, good one
So you actively keep exposing yourself as someone who knows jack shit about internet infrastructure, yet you keep thinking you have a point?
What you are suggesting doesn't make sense, and people have explained it to you why it's not remotely feasible. Sit the fuck down.
Are you ever listening to what people are saying?? Things are not set-up that way paid or not.
