Gotta admit, it is pretty damn pathetic that PSN is down for an entire day due to a DDoS attack.

Personally i'd preferred it if they had combined this emergency maintenance with tomorrow's schedule one and just do it all in one swoop but oh well

20 hours from now there'll be whining again from people that somehow still don't know there's maintenance tomorrow



ive been able to login and use psn the entire time on ps4, i guess jp psn uses different login servers to the ones these basement dwellers are botnet loic'ing

 

all those psn/xbl/steam/origin/game key generators and code generators all over youtube and random sites,  a majority of them are just botnet clients with a fake visible generator app,  or just an error message,  so the hundreds of thousands of idiots are now zombies ping flooding specific server addresses. 



Well if b.net was attacked earlier and is being attacked aain i have to wonder if there'll be more attacks tomorrow...

You'd be surprised to know that companies are trying to hire them and are paying them big money to help improve their security.

Considering a lot of them are criminals I don't think hiring them is a common practice.

Had to log in to say this but, not all hackers are criminals rather its the hackers that hack public and private infrastructure to cause damage sort of like vandals. Security systems pay a lot of money to those who can break their security systems because it helps them make it better but they don't randomally higher the 25 year old kid in germany who hacked a server for the lols.

Yup. Had issues this morning for like an hour but it's been clear for me all day. I live in N America. East coast.

That's the thing, PSN is up and running on the PS3 and the Vita.....But for some reason, the PS4 is still being affected. Which is killing me, as I have some business to take care of on FFXIV!

I know that feel.

I just hit level 50, there's so much to do.
