Dude it's a DDoS they really can't do much about this at all.

I could understand if this was Sony network just crapping out on it's own.

this is not a issue of security

Oh, i'm perfectly well aware of what a DDoS is. I've been on the internet since the very beginning.
That doesn't change the fact that we are entitled to some form of compensation if this is going to happen pretty often.
 
i was still able to play online, just the friends section went offline for me. PSN gets hit and the ps4 side explodes. i own both, but it would be crazy to say psn is up to live in any way.

Yup, went to check my trophies and hit with "CE-34861-2". Glad to know it's Lizard Squad again. This is getting really old.

Compensation would mean a incentive for more people to do this imo.

Based on you agreeing to their ToS when signing up for their service, you are 100% not entitled to a form of compensation.

The only reason they would feel the need to do that is to ensure customer satisfaction. No legal need.

Also this. This is like a ransom / terrorism situation. If they give in, it'll just make it worse.
 
God I hate this shit, don't they have anything better to do with there time? I means what's the point in attacking targets like PSN and XBL they aren't achieving anything apart from annoying gamers.

Lizard Squad just tweeted the cheques in the post. Lucky you!
 
ChapaNDJ said:
Because such things never happens on Steam.
So what's wrong with asking for compensation for a service i'm paying for. Get lost.

I always hate it when people say "Entitled!!" but this guy deserves it.

They have been Ddos'ing a lot of services. It sucks, but demanding compensation everytime isnt going to fix it.

Ugh...I can't stand this mindset. You're not entitled to anything. You have every right to move on from the product if you don't feel it's performing. You're making a choice to continually buy a product/service you don't feel is up to par.

Except when the service gets constantly hammered by hackers, just like the last huge PSN hack that happened before that left us in the dark for months.

They literally did it to Steam last week.

I still can play online on Steam though, that's the difference. And Steam is free.

I wonder do they all skype each other with livefeeds of stuff like this circle jerking watching people's reactions

The difference is steam or live don't becoke completely useless when one of these attacks happens. Not even close. Sony and psn does. Every. Damn. Time.

Then, they need to get their shit together and find whoever is behind it.

There's thousands of originating points for the attacks. It's impossible to track down. You need FBI level assistance to deal with this situation, as it needs to be dealt with forensically and criminally.

They should improve their load balancing and have better anti-DDOS solution in place, but even Microsoft which has a better network, suffered the same fate.

Yes, i'am. If i'm paying for something i will stand and defend my rights as a consumer.
Gotta love the people that defend a brand like if it was a member of their family. :rolleyes:

Yeah PSN has issues alright, you think they'd learn from past mistakes on how to have at least SOME functionality during times like this

There's a large difference between this and a breach. This is not a breach, they are just flooding the network connection. Breach a company is liable for, a DDOS attack they are not.
