HOLY SHIT!!

I looked up the flight status on Google.

What do I have to see on this? ^^

What do I have to see on this? ^^

I'm wondering the same

 

[Melchiah]

So, does the attack only affect the US PSN? I've been able to log in, and use Netflix app just like before.

 

[Hidden One]

Is PSN up yet?

 

[The Last Wizard]

What do I have to see on this? ^^

As light changing its course.

 

[Caffeine]

What would happen i it was just a 5 year old tweeting those things?

he would have a court case and probably be sent to a juvenile detention center then have a few more court cases later on in his life with potential of being free or going to prison.

i dont think 5 year olds understand ddosing lol.

Looks like the flight turned around after the threat was picked up and landed at the nearest airport.

(Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Wow. This has escalated quite rapidly. I had no intention on making this about the "console warz". I own both consoles and enjoy both consoles very much. Believe what you want, but it was not my intention and I do not want to derail this thread anymore. Happy gaming.

Technically a large majority of us can't game right now, you know, since pan is down

 

[TheJLC]

Bomb threats? FBI will get him eventually.

taking down Brazzers?! CIA Black OP

I can see the president right now...

HOLY SHIT!!

I looked up the flight status on Google.

I thought Blue dotted line meant expected route and green meant actual route, looks pretty on par, no?

Looks like they disrupted the whole thing and not a little goddamn idiots. Hope they get arrest now since there doing now stuff that is beyond a DDoS.

Edit : damn it flandy!

 

[ambar_hitman]

What are the chances that Phil Spencer is behind this account?

That account has said enough bad things about MS to debunk the idea of anyone from MS being behind that account.

 

[Brazil]

Please arrest these irresponsible fuckers, FBI.

Thanks.

 

[kaiyo]

Not sure if serious....



I'm from the Midlands, Birmingham to be exact. I've seen it used on TV, but never irl. It sounds so stupid. Mother = Mom. It's not spelled 'Muther'.

Anyway, let's not go off-topic

Mother = mom
Mammy = mam
Mummy = mum

=P

 

[Remark]

Man this week has been fucking crazy god damn. That bomb threat thing is gonna get both of them some time in prison though.

Aww man. I hope they get it up soon. Would love to play online Diablo 3 with friends and download Infamous First Light.
Stupid Lizard Squad.

The flight status of the plane the Sony exec is on. Clearly diverted.

It's not spelled 'Momther' either.

 

[Thorgal]

What do I have to see on this? ^^

The flightpath of the plane the sony guy is on proving that it got diverted because of the bomb threat.

 

[Volotaire]

My BBC is down. BBC's website is also offline.

BBC is fine, and according to http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/

 

[jfkgoblue]

Is PSN up yet?

Working for me finally, playing ff14 finally

 

[Zareka]

Ugh, it's still down in the UK? All I wanna do is play FFXIV from my bed.

All these guys are doing is giving me carpal tunnel, not helping me as a consumer.

Edit: never mind I'm playing it. But what on earth is this about bomb threats? They're practically begging the FBI to start kicking down their door.

lel, "DDoS" was seemingly too difficult to spell.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Can someone give me a quick explanation on what's going on right now? I know psn was attacked which would explain my ps4 acting up this morning around 2:00am but I'm also reading post about lizards,planes,TV networks, and porn sites.

 

[Neuromancer]

not with a federal warrant slapped on their lawyers desk they can't.

Exigent circumstances. They can legally comply without a warrant.

 

[ukas]

So, does the attack only affect the US PSN? I've been able to log in, and use Netflix app just like before.

Netflix doesn't require that you're logged into PSN.

Ooow, thanks guys. I had no idea it was a flightpath.

People dont know what DDoS means, incase you haven't read the first 30pages of this thread.

Why does everyone in the top right corner look photoshopped in?

 

[poppabk]

Its the female equivalent of 'dadther' => 'dad'.

 

[WinterDemons]

Probably best to use layman's terms to explain to the general public.

Oh, no! Not PAN!

 

[Wilbur]

Wut? I'm from England and have never personally known anyone to say 'mum', or spell it that way.

looooooooooool where the fuck are you from

 

[LiquidMetal14]

lel, "DDoS" was seemingly too difficult to spell.

As if they're supposed to clarify something that a lot of the core internet base following this already knows. Then there's a ton of posts here who apparently don't know the differences between the PSN hack and this instance.

 

[Red Chocobo]

Still down here in UK. Hotline Miami won't even boot up offline

I'm guessing that I need to make my PS4 my "Primary PS4" when PSN comes back up so I don't have the problem again.

 

[Eternal Gamer]

North Korea only has one computer on the Internet. That's our brave Leader.

 

[Rockyrock]

Why does everyone in the top right corner look photoshopped in?

its a conspiracy.

they're all holograms

 

[Corto]

Best to keep mum.

People have mentioned that disconnecting from the internet temporarily can fix this issue.

They have to keep it simple so that everyone can understand.

Can others even play games on their PS4? Rigtht now I am just trying to get past the screen where I sign in. Is there a way around that?

 

[Mung]

Wut? I'm from England and have never personally known anyone to say 'mum', or spell it that way.

What is this bs?!

 

[Seth]

So why exactly can i not play any of my digital downloaded games offline?

 

[Akai__]

http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup

Then plug the coordinates into Google Maps. Certainly not anything fancy, so it could be wrong, I guess.

Oh okay. Thought an other hacker checked the IP's or something.
