LianshiSaonji Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I can't sign in either but I've also had problems syncing trophies all week it gets to 5% and doesn't move then I get an error message anyone else had that? I've had no issue with syncing my trophies today, it failed once but I just did it again after and it worked out fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalCorvids Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 the reason they do it is to ruin other peoples days so they can't have an enjoyable evening etc, it helps make them feel all strong and powerful yet they forget if you keep attacking one place for so long the IP can be traced even if you're using a Botnet or some crap but yeah they tried to say that they'd attack all these other places too that aren't involved with games at one point I think lol I read somewhere that steam ended up getting got at some point also Bit unfair but life isn't fair I guess. Ah well, Sony needs to up their security lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, Sony needs to up their security lol. They just need a big e-penis to compesate, Security has not so much to do with DDoS attack, theres no database access here.

Goro Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Looks like we've got May-June 2011 all over again lol It's much more serious this time though because people are actually paying for the online now.

Saltyie Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I hope Sony actually learn from this attack and improve PSN's security and stability. We're not on a free service anymore, so they have no excuse. Especially with the millions they are now earning from ps+ mandatory subs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrManBuz Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I thought there was some scheduled maintenance supposed to happen? So it was actually taken down then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I thought there was some scheduled maintenance supposed to happen? So it was actually taken down then? It is meant to go down for maintenance on the 25th. It's still the 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand when it happened in 2011, hardly anyone knew about PS+, but now that it is mandatory, they have no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LianshiSaonji Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I thought there was some scheduled maintenance supposed to happen? So it was actually taken down then? That's tomorrow, I assume it'll still happen if PS is back up by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I thought there was some scheduled maintenance supposed to happen? So it was actually taken down then? The maintenance wasn't scheduled until tomorrow evening but it's down about 30 hours early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalChaos72 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah it's being attacked by the group called 'the lizard squad' this wouldn't surprise me if it was microsoft fanboys trying to take down psn so microsoft can take advantage again like they did in 2011. If this isn't resolved i can bet there wil be a price drop on the failbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this isn't resolved i can bet there wil be a price drop on the failbox. It looks like the thelizardsquad are fairly unbiased (apart from the jokey ''PC MASTER RACE'' on their twitter.) they tweeted: Sony, yet another large company, but they aren't spending the waves of cash they obtain on their customers' PSN service. End the greed. It seems like an excuse to DDoS them really, but atleast Sony hopefully know why this is happening. People are sending hilarious tweets to them atm, my personal favourite is: ''you can't even take down your blood pressure, never mind a server you fat fuck'' 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
