So is PSN down for everyone or just some?

Come on, Sony. You don't have any measures of security to protect your online infrastructure from a bunch of script kiddies?

People pay for this.

What I don't get is why they have such a bug up their ass about Sony. Nintendo never seems to get hit and Microsoft gets it at least less frequently.
 
Aaaaand it's back down for me

Error code (E-820001F7)

Service is currently undergoing maintenance. Wtf

I wouldn't care about online but my games won't even launch past the opening screen.
 
I'll see if I'm up tomorrow, but they ruined the entire evening for me.

I got banned off GAF last time I mentioned what these guys deserve... but in a less volatile manner:

I hope each one has an encounter with a ravenous wolf that tears their testicles clear off for this shit.

Ugh.
 
I'm good here in Phnom Penh.

Edit: and down again (connection to the server has been lost)

Edit 2: back up, this is weird...
 
Still down for me— California. Getting a PS Network is currently undergoing maintenance message now.

Edit: just got in.
 
I can chat on PSN, sign into PSN, but server cant verify digital license so kicked me from my game.

We have 2 Ps4, so my son can play on his, but all my digital games on the other Ps4 are bricked.

I wish when sony has an issue like this they allow a few hours before checking for digital license instead of kicking you from a game you bought.

Its just wrong.

They could just be assholes, well they are, but it's also possible that Nintendo and Microsoft have their network set up better to avoid this kind of thing.

Nintendo kinda DDOS'd themselves a couple years back with the release of Pokemon Bank coinciding with Christmas Day so maybe since then they've taken steps to avoid any public facing single point of failure.

I remember reading that some of these lizard tools are console fanboys, but not Sony Fanboys, hence they would not DDOS there own team.

Fanboy console warz extreme.

I doubt Nintendo has anything with the words advanced and online in the same sentence, MS has a very complex online system that they use for their business section so they have the most robust.
 
If your going for exposure then Sony is the one to go for. They probably could take down Nintendos but that won't get them the exposure that they need and Microsoft is probably much harder to take down. Sony is the easier of the two to attack and by doing that they get their name out more.

Man. Sony really needs to invest on security. They don't seem to be taking any lessons.

DDos if this is truly what is happened is not a security issue.

Honestly age is the thing that I've seen as the biggest factor in how fucked up a network can be. If you have systems and processes that have been online forever and are hard to change it's all the more difficult to fix it retroactively, and if it was set up like 10-15 years ago it probably wasn't done perfectly. You'd think that would mean it's been battle hardened or something but I bet Xbox Live has some serious gremlins living in it.
 
Cant get my digital games to be verified, even with PS4 set to primary,

God, its the most annoying thing having all your digital games bricked.

The digital license should be a bloody priority for PSN network.

So there's nothing to do to prevent this yet? After 53734642 attacks? Nothing? Really?

Nope. DDOS is nothing more than a flood of data being sent to overload the server. With how current tcp/ip standards work now there are very little preventative measures that can be taken.
 
So speaking of PSN... I might as well ask this here. If I want to give my friend (who lives in Europe, I'm in the US) a 3 month sub to PS+, how would I go about doing that? Can I just buy a 3month digital code off US Amazon and that would work on his PS4? Or would I have to buy it off the EU Amazon?
 
Got told I have to update my password from PC through an email Sony will send.

No problem, except the email hasn't been sent for over an hour now and their website states the email could take up to 24 hrs to show up. Really, Sony? Smh

I really doubt a NA account will work in the EU.

He should be able to make another account and set his location to the US, then use the code on that account which will give all the users on the PS4 the ability to play online, but the games will only be downloadable from the US account, all users will be able to play them though.

Ahh, I gotcha. Thanks for the info!
 
I'm trying to sign in on my PS4, but I am receiving a message saying "As a security measure, you need to update your password."

Is everything okay with regards to people attempt to hack PSN? I want to keep my same password, but willing to change it if there is a serious issue at Sony.
 
Back online since yesterday but I can't seem to purchase anything on PSN either through the app or web store. Tried on my PS4 and it doesn't work there either. All I want is Soul Sacrifice Delta.....
