[rodolphe]

the attack was a psn

 

[pyrates]

Great, I hope they get it back up until tonight. We have a race coming up.

 

[cbarbosa]

Not again...

 

[rodolphe]

have a race tonight and the psn is why they attack her

what for

 

[pyrates]

Does anybody know how long it took PSN to come back after the last attack like this?

 

[NW48]

They could've thought of a, I dunno, scarier name or something. 'The Lizard Squad' sounds like a reptile fan club or something.

1 months

 

[CBH]

I can not connect to PSN either.

 

[holtzy08si]

This sucks

 

[DarthMosco]

this is only a DDOS attack (and it isn't the first time in recent years), it isn't the same situation of april 2011

 

[NW48]

Apparently it is back up now from what I've heard.

Distributed Denial of Service Attacks
Sometimes a cracker uses anetwork of zombie computers to sabotage a specific Web site or server. The idea is pretty simple -- a cracker tells all the computers on his botnet to contact a specific server or Web site repeatedly. The sudden increase in traffic can cause the site to load very slowly for legitimate users. Sometimes the traffic is enough to shut the site down completely. We call this kind of an attack a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

So in effect, server overloading?

 

[pyrates]

Yep exactly.

Yep it's back on now in the UK, just restart your PS3, do the internet connection test then it should work... 👍

Why does anyone do anything in life ?

 

[MidFieldMaven]

Hacking game systems is very amateur. They would make better use of their time by hacking more lucrative entities...like banks? Governments? Go big or go home.

I tried this multiple times... Didn't work... Then it just signed me in without doing anything

 

[pyrates]

I can sign in but I can't enter the servers from GT.

GT servers are working fine for me.

 

[lGNAl]

This is the type of people that should be Gitmo'd.

Well, it doesn't for me. Just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for all. So save the rolling eyes.

Never said it would work for everyone else... Anyway, I'm not here to start an argument.

Your smiley indicated that, though.
