These guys should have done this the day of Destiny's release.

That would have done maximum damage to the PS4's momentum. In fact, I fully
expect it to happen again during launch week.

Any word on compensation from Sony?

why would sony provide compensation?

I would have preferred Christmas. God think of all those disappointed children.

Seriously bro. I paid $36 dollars for a year of PSN. That breaks down to $3 a month or about 10 cents per day. Since PSN was down for 18/24 (3/4) of a day, I expect to be refunded 7.5 cents.

Doesn't look like a troll to me. It seems he's offering his opinion on what would have given the attack a more visible impact. Doing it during a large launch may have created more media coverage or frustration.

I'm disappointed Sony hasn't learnt shit from the last hack on PSN. Why
can't they be as proficient against cyber attacks like MS is with XBL?

PSN has been down intermittently for about 18 fucking hours.

Shit makes no sense. What's to prevent some bootleg Lulzsec wannabes
from doing this again when Destiny launches or when holiday season rolls around!
 
Just got a barrage of messages saying Infamous FL was downloading, then the update file was downloading, then the preorder DLC outfit was downloading, then the preorder DLC outfit can't download. It's a roller coaster of emotions (not unlike this entire thread.)

When all of this is done, I'm going to miss you most of all.

I know right since the servers got hacke......oh right DDoS isn't hacking derp.
 
How long did it take for that Derptroolling guy to get arrested? He did get arrested right? I hope the same happens to Lizardsquad. Seriously ruined my only day off this week :/.

Because Microsoft can't get momentum on their own? Sony going bad doesn't make Microsoft any better. In fact MS started their shitty tactics because they were so comfortable in 1st position (even though people tend to forget that the PS3 outsold the 360).

hey how about you compensate us for such a shitty entitled post by cancelling your PSN account so you don't have to enter any more PSN threads to expose us to more shitty entitled posts.

I'd been playing GT6 since 4:30pm with no issues. However, neither the phone app (Android) nor the web store would let me sign in as of a few hours ago. I'm in NYC.

As for orochi91, he's surely laughing at all of you who wasted time by replying to his comments.

edit: RIP orochi91.

Ps3 online has always been fine when this ddos happened. It's the ps4 that got hit.



I hope he will be compensated...
About time.

His post history is a cess pool.

After 18 hours PSN is back up.

But in all seriousness, some changes better come to PSN in order to better prepare for these attacks. Of course, it's impossible to fully stop the attacks but there needs to be systems in place to mitigate these attacks a bit better.
