Seems like a lot more peacefull thread and no one aattacking ms of lenience or lack of security. Seems like we learned what is DDOS and that you can mitigate and solve but can't totally prevent.

Lol, some guy on gaf:

Even multiplatform DDOS attacks don't come to Wii U


Lol.

Lol there is huge difference. Xbox Live did not go for several hours... This is what mitigation is and Microsoft infrastructure is able to do it.
Was playing all the afternoon/evening and I did not even noticed it.

Thats bad considering they are supposed to have 300,000 servers.

DDoS is not hacked per se, but yes, they were certainly attacked.

This. The thread is smaller because 1. there are less Xbox people here and 2. it didn't affect seemingly a single person here, assuming there was even an issue at all. Compared to hours and hours of downtime.

Which is why it was fixed as fast as it was. :) Practically non-existent. And the status on Xbox Live is a Diablo 3 issue from 3 days ago. Never got knocked off Live yesterday while playing all day. Same with plenty others.

I was on all day yesterday with no issues.  Except Diablo III which is connected to Blizzard's Battlenet...

This is why I like Live over PSN.  MS knows how to deal with this stuff as DDoS and hacker attackers are what they deal with every day.  I don't care about the free games.  If I can't play because a network is down the games are worth nothing.
