Probably just Nintendo/XB fanboys that are sore losers :P


Last I checked, they claim to be PC masterrace actually.

It seems they tried to deny PSN was down until it was too obvious

"We are aware that some users are experiencing difficulty enjoying the PSN. We have confirmed the PSN is stable. If you are having trouble, we encourage you to contact your internet service provider."


I hope for their sake that this time they will announce the eventual leak of personal data before it becomes too obvious

PS+ money well spent

even the biggest corporations can get affected by muppets doing DDOS attacks.. even government systems. So not sure what that has to do with PS+ money being well spent.

Once they get a handle on where it's coming from etc, it will be fine.


yeah i mean Sony must be swimming in so much cash us gamer's have sent to them on products they made that Sony is just swimming in cash and does not have to sell off assets, building's they have owned for over 35 years..lmao/s yeah Sony is just swimming in cash..they are so greedy.

That message was there before all of this happened.

*rollseyes*

So typical. You clearly didn't read anything on this thread and are obviously ignorant as to what a DDoS attack is. These morons didn't get access to Sony's database.
They overloaded the servers with traffic. Nothing more.

Read my previous comment. As a noob white hack, on a technical level, this stuff really interest me, and not all hackers (contrary to popular believe) are scumbags like these guys or live in their mother's basement.

That is quite true, but on the same token people like Ben Heck are not doing thing's like phiber optik was doing..lol

its about "law of prudence"

ie:

if you think there is a very good chance that what you are intending to do or is not of prudent means than its a good chance do not do it..would in fact be wise not to do it.
