Sony kinda should spend more to protect itself......or at least resolve this faster.

Maybe it will take 2 months this time.


This is just a DDOS attack, PSN was hacked and user data was compromised back in 2011.

Also I just managed to sign into PSN, so...

Could the hackers steal data again?


It's a DDoS attack. It's not hacking per se, it's just overloading the PSN servers so they crash. I think



So I logged in for like 10 minutes and now can't connect to the server again. But saw some familiar VGC faces online in my brief time



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I was able to sign in on my PS3 for a lil bit.

That's a what's called a buffer overflow.

DDoS stands for Distributed Denial-of-Service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhA9PAfkJ10
