US server problems?

New meaning to the term "Firewall"

Can't connect either stacked up with trades too.

**** 'em. They stand for no one but themselves. Sony haven't been hurt by these attacks, only their customers. I hope their little hacker fingers are too delicate to hold on to the soap bars in prison and their 'security' gets 'compromised' daily.

+1000!👍👍

I just tried again and no go (12:40pm EDT).. I wanted to do some more seasonal lambo races. Guess not.

EDIT- just tried 5 more times real quick and got signed in.. (12:43pm EDT).

I just loged in to PSN and Gt5, never have any problem.

They can't punish those hackers enough imo, and I'm talking about severe punishments... Life time imprisonment without electronic devices would be nice

 

[gtuned]

Ugh, I'm logged in but i can't get online, even on Hot Pursuit, or the PSN store. I hate anonymous so much. Please don't have a fit when someone gets busted. Some of us actually want to play our games online.

Both Sony and Anon. are acting poorly as far as I'm concerned. Sony shouldn't have taken away the other OS feature, but these guys shouldn't be retaliating against a lawsuit by dos attack either. They made their bed, now they have to lay in it. What, they didn't think they'd get sued for breaking the law? If they don't like the laws there are ways to get them changed.. bahh.. oh well. Hope Sony figures out a way to defend against these childish attacks.

Geez, GT is just a game dude.

You have no idea about what Sony is trying against GeoHot right?

I don`t sympathize with those hackers, but I don`t do it either with those big companys.

With ridiculous ToS changes over the life span of the PS3, Sony managed to legally take away a feature my "computer" was advertised with.

Companys have way to much power in the gaming industry. Few weeks ago, when Dragon Age 2 was released, a guy got his EA/Bioware account banned for 72 hours, which unabled him to play any bioware games he purchased during this time span.

This is just...
And no government is doing something against this.

Something has to change. If someone buys himself a Mercedes and tunes its engine etc also appearance, Mercedes can`t just come and take him away the keys of the car.

Does someone tuning their Mercedes allow other people to illegally receive free Mercedes parts for their car? If not, then it's a terrible analogy.

Unless Mercedes cars cost nothing to replicate, and I could use yours to clone, and you could keep yours too.. to infiniti. Nope, not a good analogy either. Intellectual property is difficult to compare to things in a physical world.

Duping real world cars as long as they cost less than 1 million dollars. I don't think the auto industry would do to well.

This isn't going to end well... or soon.

Yea, looks like it was only the "first strike": The Worst Is Yet to Come: Anonymous Talks To PlayStation LifeStyle

Wohoo

Looks like this isn't the first time they've done this:

On December 8, 2010, a group calling themselves "Anonymous" launched orchestrated DDoS attacks on organisations such as Mastercard.com, PayPal, Visa.com and PostFinance; as part of the ongoing "Operation Payback" campaign, which originally targeted anti-piracy organisations,[35] in support of the Whistleblowing site Wikileaks.ch and its founder, Julian Assange. The attack brought down the Mastercard, PostFinance, and Visa websites successfully. PostFinance, the bank that had frozen Julian Assange’s account, was brought down for more than 16 hours due to the attacks. However, in denial of the fact that it was taken down by a bunch of notorious internet users, the bank issued a statement that the outage was caused by an overload of inquiries:
"Access to www.postfinance.ch and thus also e-finance is currently overloaded owing to a multitude of online enquiries. The security of customer data is not affected." Yes, wikipedia is usally urnrealible, but still.

Hm, previous support of someone who's made public classified documents....sounds like grounds for the feds to go after these kiddies to me.
