Hero-of-Time Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 That's too bad, I had two games I planned to play, GTAV Online and FFXIV. Apparently it's an attack on the network by some hackers.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Haha, PSN is down the day @Blade gets his PS4! Fucking hell, he can't leave anything alone, can he? What's he smashed this time? The PSN servers?
Blade Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Blade enters NEXT GEN!!! Well I thought I did... PSN is down so i can't do owt. Next gen my arse!!
S.C.G Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 You got a PS4 @Blade? Awesome, I'll just add you... ... (wtf PSN is down?!?) Ah... well I'll add you later anyway. : peace:
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 @kav82, @Sexual Chocolate, @Blade, I'm going to play some Battlefield now. Shall I open us up a party chat?
Blade Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 @kav82, @Sexual Chocolate, @Blade, I'm going to play some Battlefield now. Shall I open us up a party chat? Are you having a laugh!!!?
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Are you having a laugh!!!? Yeah, sorry brah. Fucking hate hackers, mind.
Shorty Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Let's not give them the credit of the term hackers, it's a DDOS. The things some people have to do to get their kicks, honestly....
Blade Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Looks like i'm going to have to play on my shitty Wii U instead
lostmario Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Looks like i'm going to have to play on my shitty Wii U instead Back to last gen you go. How much did it cost you and what games you got?
Blade Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 £380 for PS4 with The Last of Us. I forgot to take some games in so going to go back tomorrow and get Battlefield 4. They gave me CoD: Ghosts as well so will be trading that in too!
Ashley Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Let's not give them the credit of the term hackers, it's a DDOS. The things some people have to do to get their kicks, honestly.... Urgh. Reminds me when I was doing that livestreaming stuff and people would DDOS CS:GO matches. Awful people.
Blade Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Obviously haven't played anything but i'm not liking the controller. Just doesn't feel right and the analogue sticks...well less said about them the better!!
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Let's not give them the credit of the term hackers, it's a DDOS. The things some people have to do to get their kicks, honestly.... What exactly is a DDoS? I'm seeing it mentioned a lot on Gaf and they've referred to the people who do this as the lowest of the low. Basically, is it just to waste people's time? Seems dickish. Anyway, not a lot has changed for me, tbh. Ine's playing Assassin's Creed, I've played Fifa 14 (demo) since this morning. So, I've not really felt it. Had I wanted to play Battlefield or Watch Dogs, I would've been pissed off. :p
Shorty Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Obviously haven't played anything but i'm not liking the controller. Just doesn't feel right and the analogue sticks...well less said about them the better!!You didn't get any games on disk? You don't have to wait for PSN. If it's any consolation, this is the first time it's gone down for more than a little routine maintenance in quite a while. What exactly is a DDoS? I'm seeing it mentioned a lot on Gaf and they've referred to the people who do this as the lowest of the low. Basically, is it just to waste people's time? Seems dickish. Just means hitting the server with thousands of requests using bots/proxies etc so that genuine requests can't get through, eventually will bring the server down by using up all the memory, bandwidth, cpu etc

So, basically, just to piss people off then? Hope it doesn't take too long to get things back up and running.
Cube Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Well, it seems that one of these DDoSers (if these people even did anything) will likely be hunted down and punished quite severely as they decided to turn themselves into a terrorist by making a fake bomb threat.
Agent Gibbs Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 DDOs is the most simple of hacks these days, there are a few automated programs that do it (LOIC if i remember correctly) to refer to these people as hackers is a real dis-service to anyone capable of actual hacking

I've been following the thread on Gaf most of the day and was shocked when that popped up. These guys are idiots. Shame PSN has been down all day. My brother wasn't happy as he was really getting into TLOU online mode. A bunch of people who bought Plants Vs Zombies have been stuck twiddling their thumbs all day.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 I've heard that they also attacked Brazzers, dat porn site. Heard stuff about them hitting LoL servers, too. Seems like there's been quite a few things that they've done. Very dickish.
Cube Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 I've been following the thread on Gaf most of the day and was shocked when that popped up. These guys are idiots. From what I can tell, I don't think these are even doing any DoSSing. They're just claiming it as their work. The ones doing it are complete dicks. These are just complete idiots.
Shorty Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 I can't believe it's taking them so long to get services back up and running. Makes me wonder if they had any contingency for DDoS at all. At the very least they could block all incoming connections then reopen certain unrelated IP ranges.
