Downtime on XBL and PSN is down to Lizard Squad

Obviously, the already high amount of traffic makes it much easier to DDoS

PSN is finally back up

Or so I thought

Xbox And PlayStation Services Hit By Hackers

The group Lizard Squad claims responsibility for the attack, while rival group Finest Squad apparently seeks to restore service.

****ing Lizard Squad, bunch of sad *****.

I just turned on my ps4 and it's still offline :worry: I thought it would be back up by now.

It appears to takes even more
hours to wash them out

This is getting too ****ing annoying
We better be getting free games because of it

Ah well, the bright side of this is that it's forced me to get towards the end of the main story campaign for GTA V

Just bought a PS4 today with a 40" panansonic and can't even sign into my old PSN account, are the fat userless hacker bastards still messing with it?

It seems so :/

Can someone confirm that Welbeck is an arsenal player on Fifa 15 PS4 but not PS3?

Actually so pissed off about the PSN being hacked. Kids got a PS4 for Christmas with a buttload of games which really need PSN.

Destiny won't even load properly.

I can't use anything but LBP without 'PSN NEEDED TO USE NETWORK' ffs

GTA5 is working, but obv. not online play. My daughter is playing that just now..

Advanced Warfare and Assassins Creed are limited to campaign and LBP3 is limited to story mode..

They have:
COD : Advanced Warfare
AC: Unity
AC: Bllack Flag
LBP3
Destiny
GTA5
Minecraft
Tomb Raider

Lizard Squad apparently ended the attack four hours ago, Sony have just taken PSN down to investigate the damage, probably will end up being back tommorow. You can't really stop a DDoS attack.

Lizard Squad need taken behind the shed and shot tbh.

Apparently they've got Anonymous on them now, so they'll probably be doxxed at some point.

They've had 2 ****ing days to investigate plus they were warned by lizard squad like 2 months prior. Unbelievable

Because they've been attacked, repeatedly, for two days.

Yes a bunch of Terror Hippies

To be fair, it's much more difficult to defend yourself against a DDOS attack than it is to carry one out on someone else..

There needs to be a change in how the internet works, or we're just going to be stuck with dickheads DDoSing everything, they can take anything they want down when they want. This is the reason people don't give two ****s about "the cloud"

Preach Chewy.

This is what scratty little losers like to do these days so they can forget that they are scratty little losers? They need to be killed or have their hands cut off at the very least.
