We know that Sony’s planning to run some Bank Holiday tests on the PlayStation Network, but the manufacturer’s servers appear to have come crashing down a day early. While status reports from the Japanese giant claim that its online platform is currently up and running, we can’t log in using any of our consoles in the UK – and it seems like a similar story is taking place around the globe.
There are some reports that a group called Lizard Squad have attempted a DDoS attack on the PSN, with League of Legends and Blizzard’s Battle.net servers also targeted. If that’s the case, it will probably take a few hours for the console maker to get things running properly again. Have you been affected by this unexpected outage? Scream and shout in the comments section below.
Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more PlayStation Network updates.
Update #1: John Smedley from Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed that the Japanese giant's servers are being targeted by a "large scale DDoS attack". However, the good news is that the firm already appears to be dealing with the problem, as the PSN is coming back online for some as we write. Let us know if you're still having problems.
Update #2: While the PSN is back online for some across all systems, there are still a lot of people affected around the world. Sony has acknowledged this in a message on its official Twitter account: “Our engineers are aware of the issues and are working to resolve them. We'll keep you posted – sorry for the inconvenience.”
Update #3: There had been signs several hours ago that the PSN was returning to normal, however that hasn’t really materialised. Sony has now published an official statement on the PlayStation Blog, which we’ve replicated in full below:
Like other major networks around the world, the PlayStation Network and Sony Entertainment Network have been impacted by an attempt to overwhelm our network with artificially high traffic.
Although this has impacted your ability to access our network and enjoy our services, no personal information has been accessed.
We will continue to work towards fixing this issue and hope to have our services up and running as soon as possible.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
Update #5: And the PSN is back online. Here's an official statement from Sony:
The PlayStation Network and Sony Entertainment Network are back online and people can now enjoy the services on their PlayStation devices.
The networks were taken offline due to a distributed denial of service attack. We have seen no evidence of any intrusion to the network and no evidence of any unauthorised access to users’ personal information.
In light of today’s issue, the networks will not undergo the regularly scheduled maintenance, which was planned for Monday, 25th August. We will provide an update shortly for when the maintenance will be rescheduled.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by this issue. Thanks for your patience and support.

Yep, can't get on at all. In fact, interestingly, I couldn't even log into the console initially without disconnecting the network cable. meh!
@TheMonkeyBongo Dat digital future, eh?
@get2sammyb You know it!
Here in Portugal i got the PSN down too, why this guys do this? They are punishing the players and not the companies.
@Ricardo We can't be sure it was an attack yet. Hopefully all will be resolved shortly.
My niece could watch netflix on ps3, cant play online tho
I just hope I don't miss out on playing in the GTA Online Event Weekend. Was waiting until Sunday afternoon (now) to play it. :/
Looks like it's coming back up for people now. Do let me know if you're able to log back in. Still down for me...
@get2sammyb I can sign in right now, however i couldnt an 2 hours ago up until now. I thought it was my router or something, seeing how i have DISH.NET. I swear the Digital age is not ready for this generation, we should wait for more in the future where internet is everywhere and there is no Dial Up anymore. I cant get any internet but Satellite where i live, and it is horrible for gaming. the only other internet were i live is dial up. I Live in America btw, and you say it was an attack? definitly let us know anything more asap! Thank You Sammy!
John Smedley from SOE says it was a DDoS attack, which isn't really anything to worry about from a hacking perspective - it just basically overloads servers until everything goes offline. The good news is that it looks like the engineers are already solving the issue, as the PSN is back online now in some parts of the world.
Not that long back there was an article about how meny attacks Sony & Microsoft come under, if I remember correctly it's over a thousand attacks per day. It just shows that both Microsoft & Sony has the're work cut out for them, and Nintendo. Hopefully it'll back online soon, hopefully.
If they've got nothing better to do than spend loads of money on computing power to overload companies' servers for a few hours then they should just spend that money on making robot girlfriends. They're clearly never going to get a girl any other way
@banacheck Yeah, if anyone's interested, it was 34,000 attempted hacks every day: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2013/12/hackers_target_systems_such_as_ps4_around_34000_times_a_day
Imagine what it's like for governments and stuff like that!
I'm currently logged in now.
Thanks to that DDoS attack, My console missed its automatic update for today, So i'm having to manually install The Sly Collection games i got early this morning just the downtime happened.
I live on the east coast of the USA and I still can't log in to psn
"Under going maintenance" Still for me in the uk..kind of annoying tbh
@get2sammyb
That's insane 34,000 hack attempts per day.
Literally got a notification about 5 mins ago saying PSN was under maintenance while I was playing TLOUR online
@special_donkey Give it a little while longer, it's coming up slowly around the globe. Not working for me yet either, but some people in the UK are saying that it's back up for them: https://twitter.com/SuperFastZombie/status/503513364820410368
@get2sammyb ps4s not working for me.. But ps3 is working for me and many others on my list.. Even the store is working.. has been on for me for about 2 hours. I'm from uk
I live in the UK. It was working for me 10 minutes ago and now it's not working again. Definitely not resolved yet.
@naruball Is that on PS4?
I was able to sign-in on PS4 about 15 minutes ago, but can't play any games online or access the store. I'm in the US.
It seems like its on the mend at least,oh well - guess i'll watch some true detective for a bit
And its down again for me.
I'm not holding my breath with the ps4 for a while.. Their servers are already poor let alone without something trying to overload it, I hold no hope lol. I'll just stick with ps3 for a bit
MUST play Diablo!
In Trinidad& Tobago psn is still down. This better not mess up my Infamous First Light preload...
I couldn't sign in when I went on it at 10:00 this morning (this being on my PS4) and then at 12:00 it told me that SEN was down for maintenance - still can't get on and when I try to, my PS4 freezes on me, so I'm giving it a little break for a moment. Only thing that annoyed me was that I was playing AC on it, completed a sequence when the network went down and the trophy didn't unlock. I can't seem to unlock other trophies when in maintenance mode either.
This is what happens when you oversleep and miss all the post party fun
Da fuq just happened?
@Shell189 I use that.
@get2sammyb
psvita
I will say this much.. when it comes to Network Engineers Sony certainly knows how to pick them... Dang.. Get the Playstation Network Up already and stop falling asleep at the wheel.
Yeah, it's still really shaky. I'm trying to find more information.
Nope didn't work anyway
PS Vita: "This service is currently undergoing maintenance" did it start early?
Web store: Can't sign into that.
PlayStation App is saying the same thing as vita.
Yep PSN is down in the UK.
This is annoying...
I only woke up about 11am and iv used all 3 of my ps3's to login to my psn account up till now cuse i finally found out what the problem is i hope i can login soon
@marksman25 i know yer same here in north west
Looks like some hacking crusaders have decided in their own minds to attack a entertainment service. These guys would be better off turning off the PC's and going outside for a few hours.
http://eskimopress.com/news/games/item/525-hacker-group-vow-to-destroy-sony
Yup. Im in USA as well and the servers are down here to or so it seems. Cant log into PSN at all.
I am still not on either and I'm so annoyed I got my new game yesterday, finally a good game and this happens been trying for the last 3 hours just in hoping it comes back on but nothing and I'm in northern ireland
hey im on eastcoast of canada and i cannot login to psn to play games either
Just found lizard squad on twitter and they are bragging how long to keep this going!!! Might keep an eye on the page
I don't know what's the bigger demand on the service now.. the DDoS attack or millions of users trying to log on to delete their credit card details.
Its is still offline for me, i initially thought is may have been due to my membership with unotelly, but i then completed my payments to find the server completely down. Any idea when the servers will be fully up and running?
Im i the UK and the server is down, just bought and downloaded battlefield last night
I am also in the UK but syncing an American server, but this has no affect. This is terrible sigh :/
I hate to admit it, but they do have a point. We are paying for these online services and sony should have protection against it. Maybe now they will actually put some of our money towards the services. I know I'd prefer it!!
My PS3 has been down in the UK for the last 4 hours. I tried rebootinmg the PS and my internet but nothing working. The website says maintenance tomorrow and the only thing to bring back my sanity is this great website...PS3 was about to be launched into Space!. I guess I'll chill now but best it's back on tonight...I need my CoD Ghost fix!!!! It's a bit of an odd decision to carry out maintenenance on a Bank Hol when I guess many people will be thrashing their PS???
im in australia and is still down god damn hackers they so need a life
@Batesy999 I'm not saying anyone's wrong, but with this kind of thing, there's not a lot you can do. It's the equivalent of throwing bricks through a shop's window.
Either way, the PSN's back up for me on the PS3 in the UK.
Inb4lizardsquadonthehunt
I'm glad I am not the only one experiencing this issue, thought I was going to have to buy a new PS4/PS3 lol.
i would have thought they had a protection programme for things like this.
Again? Seriously? Getting annoyed with this. -_-
I am able to log in as of 3pm, GMT. Seems to be functioning fine now in Ireland at least.
@get2sammyb but someone has to fix that window. That's what I'm hoping for. It's about time they invested in our servers and not just their back pockets! Also my ps3s haven't gone down at all , it's the ps4 servers that are &£@& and need sorting! Hopefully that is what they're gonna do tomorrow.
Hurray i am in guys
still down in australia this blows im goin to bed
@Batesy999 You're misunderstanding what is happening, I think. Someone is running code which sends millions of 'fake' requests to Sony's servers. Imagine you and 100 other people try to squeeze through a train door all at the same time - eventually someone will get locked out. That's what's happening here.
I'm absolutely not saying Sony is entirely innocent here, but these things are hard to defend against, hence why League of Legends was also affected by something similar overnight.
God this is annoying wanna play garden warfare and pre order first light and all I've been able to do is watch bojack horseman . @get2sammyb in south west england any idea when it should be up?
The USA Server is back up and running im on HOME now
@Shell189 The servers are not poor. honestly, where does this garbage come from. unbelievable o.O
Anyway, if it is an attack, it's a good thing that Sony upped all that security and already is dealing/delt with the problem without our information being taken, so this is a good thing.
Lets remember now that this isn't Sony's fault if they are being attacked, it's the morons that are attacking the network that are the problem. I think Sony is innocent in this. If I were to be attacked, it isn't my fault, it's the @#$hole that is attacking me that is at fault. Now, before, that was partly Sony's fault because they had no security, but they do now.
I think it's some Xbox fanboys trying to bring down sony to decrease it's sales. lol
Ps3 was a bit iffy but I'm on and playing mw3 still a but leggy what to expect with Billy no mates clogging the servers
@QTendra It's slowly coming up now, so hopefully soon.
anyone from australia
I fully understand what's happening.. And I fully understand that sony should have protection against this... Which is possible btw. Maybe now they will half the time the ps4 can't even manage to load the friends list when it gets busy. Maybe soon they'll sort it!
@voodoo341 - I for one never put my credit card info on PSN. I always buy PSN cards when I buy something on the PS Store.
Just talked to a Rep. They don't know when it will be back up.
Hey im from USA does anyone know if the USA servers are up? I cant log in so im guessing no. help? its my birthday today
Okay, so Sony has been hit with a DDoS. They're trying to fix it and by the looks of things they're doing well, but how do we know that once they've fixed the problem team "Lizard Squad" aren't going to over run them again???
This is a joke its Sunday and I still cant get on I'm in the uk and can't even sign it
The only time I see it being fixed is when the attack stops or possibly after maintenance tomorrow, maybe even longer now.
The irony of a hacking group saying that Sony should have protection against DDoS attacks while performing a DDoS attack. If tools like these would FOAD, there'd be no need.
They can give all the excuses they want - the only reason for things like this is that some sad little gobshites want their 15 minutes of 'fame'.
your right on that friend betya any cash that they are stupid freaking kids
that want to be noticed cause they cant get the attention of there parents lol
Sony better not give us indie games as compensation! I expect AAA games only.
Here in Aruba we can not login ps4. The playstation 3 is working just fine. Does any one know how long this is gonna take????? Please?!!!! Its sunday!!
I expect a free game for this preferably The Last Of Us
I don't expect anything. I just wanna play my games before freaking MONDAY guys wach it be down for 3 day or 2 weeks
I'm glad I'm offline on my vita playing ratchet and clank 1 just doing the track glitch to get $1m bolts
I wonder if the gonna extend the flash sell
Psn sign in failed in australia. ****ing dogs !
Language - get2sammyb
@aussielord yeah cant log in, adelaide
@aussiedylz same here in US

This is stupid ppl with no girlfriend or life has to sit there ruining ppls time off get a life and get urself laid n stop hacking just wana play some playstation just sad
Still down here 753am PST NW US. How can you be that good at hacking yet so ignorant as to how to solve a problem with a companies network sevices. How is a DDoS attack going to make sony improve their servers when there so busy spending money on protection from this?
@Dustykitten cheers
@aussiedylz cheers thnx im still ofline nsw

Just tried to sign in and it said down for maintenance tried again and it said failed to connect to server anyone else having this problem
no suprise there
Still down. US. East coast damn... I want to kick someone s ass in fifa :/

I carnt even sign in to psn
JUST LOGGED INTO WARFRAME YEEEE
idk if im able to play online doe ill just doo solo
Lol these people that make these attacks need to realize that they are not helping the gamers they claim to be fighting for. These people are the ones ruining the gaming world. If they aren't shutting down service for everyone they are appearing on forums in mass trying to force games to change often times for the worst. Please if you have a problem with a product just don't use the product. Stop punishing other fellow gamers because your unhappy with Sony. I've always been happy with Sony products.
Its still off in Australia, WA
I just tried again and it says cannot connect 2 server
Yeah,just got on here in the uk..hold on guys..i tried it a few times before it worked
Psn bak up I Belfast uk

@Blazeinsnipe88 I am just down the road from you and just tried on the ps4 again a few times and no luck, i was on the ps3, accidentally knocked it off and now cant get back on but the ps3 took a few attempts
I can get on with the PS3 but not PS4, too. I guess that's a sign that service is being slowly restored.
Getting tired of your **** Sony!
Language - get2sammyb
I just logged in on PS4, too, so keep trying. To reiterate: UK here.
I'm pretty sure the attacker has been shut down! Should see stability improvement soon!
i hope so @batesy999
its up again
it is half sonys fult and mostly hackers fult
nvm
I live in canada and i just managed to get online on both my ps3 and ps4
In texas and its still down for me. Any texans able to log on?
Its down for me too. Japan
come onthis is frowned upon
Southern uk, down and out !. You'd think they, sony, would make use of this to perform some of their maintenance.
@Gamergrl17 I'm offline in Maryland so i imagine most if not all US is not working
They Shouldn't be able to hack in like this so easy :/
Anyways im down too in the US..
still not working in australia nsw not cool
there was never hackers im in uk and im online on ghosts on ps4.. psn goes down for half a day and every one thinks psn has been hacked
Just had one game of warframe...that was nice ¬_¬ Still down in Rep. of Ireland
About 20 minutes ago the lizard squad posted the feds are here haha
Wow. Are people making new accounts just to complain here?
Topic: I just wanted to pre-load inFamous: First Light but it looks like I won't be able to do that today. Guess I'll be playing the WiiU for the next few days.
@BL_Donth im in uk and im online playing ghosts if it u cant get onilne at moment u will later
Ah I wanted to use my kubrow! Should've matured around 10am and I haven't been able to use it
Oh and south west uk btw, still down for me.
@BL_Donth maybe, like me this is the first time they've came across the website and decided to make an account...
@Relitop458 I second that
Same Here^
Welcome new people!
@Relitop458 I am new too, pure chance i found this and seemed more solid info, was on googling if there was any "unscheduled" maintenance and couldn't find anything and my friend was on a twitter page and everyone mentioning about hacking, I then typed into google why can't I sign in (with the date) and this was the first thing that popped up and somebody from commented, I've been watching to see who gets on so I can try myself and been watching the little nerd who calls themselves the lizard squad on twitter hoping that he puts something up saying sony won lol
@BL_Donth Same here, iwas hoping to start the preload. Hopefully it will be back up by this evening. Till then ill be watching Gundam Wing Endless Waltz and then playi g Vita at work.
Have added official comment from Sony to the article.
That's a lot of comments! Nintendo life best be on their guard lol!
Guys i think we should just leave this until the hackers are gone cause if we even get in the hackers would be able to get our credit details sony must of logged us out so its harder for the hackers
Yeah that's exactly what I did, and thought! And it is good also because there is people from all over the world.
East midland uk logged into PS3 but not on to ps4 yet grrrrr wanna play warframe nooooow
@Tabraiz_T battlefield's so fun!
I'm on the west coast in the US and it's still down for me
I am just enjoying today playing games off-line Thank god I can still do that i suppose. Saying that the last time PSN went wrong i couldn't even play my off-line games which was worrying really :-/ Anyway back to the Brilliant Pure Pool
http://www.worldsfactory.net/2014/08/24/the-reasons-behind-the-latest-psn-hack
Aren't they nice?
Lizard Squad posted "Owned and exposed @HackForumsNet" hope this is the end for the wee dweeb!
Yeah mine went offline, I wasn't using the online functions but psn told me anyway.
@Lawandzaxo Your credit card information is safe. This isn't a hack — it's an attack.
The amount of people here stating the PSN has been hacked have no idea what they are talking about. A DDos basically floods a server with bogus requests till the traffic overloads it. Nothing has been accessed. No information is at risk. If people are gonna complain, at least know what your complaining about.
doesnt make those dumb arrogant a**holes anymore f***ing stupid, i hates psn and dumb hackers who have a hard on for sony.
When it was down this morning I hated it but its had its pros as its give me a chance to get halfway through darksouls 2ng+ I'm now a better stronger souls geezer. So thanks to the hackers with no girlfreinds. Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I can sign in and I'm in the UK but can't get into store or account management, f*** those sons of b*tches!😩😒😤😡😠

Was working 9 hrs ago. Can't even play GTA Online or Battlefield 4 double xp weekend.
@dj8503 i know i need that double xp with 200% bonus , RIGHT NOW ! >
So many new accounts being made just to post on this article, while I'm just waiting it out playing Mario Kart 8.
WOW... Hope they get this fixed soon. FFXIV player Colorado, United States. All services currently down.
I can sign in (US) but as soon as I get to the title screen of Diablo it kicks me off.
WESTERN US, I AM ON PSN, HOWEVER BF4 DOES NOT WORK, AND THE STORE IS A BIT IFFY.
Still says cannot connect 2 server 4 me
UK - I'm apparently signed in on PS4 but I can't see any friends online
Any idea if this will be fixed in a couple of hours? I bought all my games online and I can't restore licences or activate my primary ps4. Really getting pissed since I've got to go back to work tomorrow. Any suggestions that can get my games to work?
Can someone explain to me what what a DDos attack actually is
@lizardsquad
Their Twitter account portrays them flying the ISIS flag.. congrats, with your noobie ddos you just landed yourself on the DHS list. TOR isnt as safe as you think lizzy.
@parlor-mob I have a 100% xp boost I could really use.
Out of curiosity, did anyone get an email from Playstation about some type of playstation credit card?
Its basically a server swamp, dummy accounts flood the servers and overload them.
@Dannyboy1996 its what an inexperienced hacking group uses to gain PR. A gray area in parts of the law and is considered more of a prank. Basically they are flooding the servers with requests, overwhelming and shutting them down.
Nope no email.
Still down in Irelando. Good thing I mostly play offline anywho. Did just order FF14 tho.....
Hmm I'm signed in but can't do anything oh well.
This is ruining a perfectly good lazy Sunday. 😡
I finally get a weekend with no wife and kids and and some B-list hacker group spoils it... just my luck
@Dustykitten aw! I've been trying to get back into warframe . With no luck. It better get right soon!
Any 1 in Bournemouth uk logged into psn on ps4
Still down for me here in florida in the U.S. I can watch Doctor Who on Netflix, but i cant see my friends list. I just wanna play CoD!
I cant even sign grr i wanna play battlefield
Even battlefield 3 won't work. Can't get the game to start.
Just says for me cannot connect to server
My ps4 won't sign in at all. PS3 will just can't do anything online.
In Germany also its down
Yeah my ps4 wont either
It's now a $400 paperweight😞😡
I know just wanna play it online
lol@dj
taking my dog to the park to try to forget about this for awhile
I've been tying to go online with the game TLoU for a few hrs now. I keep getting an error message. "Cannot connect to the ticket server!" I live on the west coast of California, USA. I'm so glad that I finally got my Plat just yesterday! I have all the trophies for this game now! It took me months! But now I can't go online to play it anymore. I hope it gets fixed soon!
@askplaystation just keeps giving the same sh*tty generic response. I wouldn't even mind if Sony just gave a regular update. I mean even if they had to reboot the servers it shouldn't take this long. My guess is this bullsh*t will spill into the maintenance window and we won't so psn up till Tuesday.
I don't blame Sony for the cause but I sure as hell blame them for the crap response and crap communication.
Sort it out Sony!
Language - get2sammyb
Me too
Who the hell are all of you?!?
Bloody hackers, first weekend I get with kids in bed n wife out. Ps4 nite . Oh no wait some sad little gits with nowt else better to do than crash a gaming network spoil it. Go get a girlfriend or a life you sad little bleep!! Wish I could get my hands on them 😠
im on the ps3 right now and im trying to play FIFA 14, Ghosts, Black Ops 2. None work. im trying to but it keeps signing me out, anyone else live in Nova Scotia and could tell me if they can play?
So do i my daughter needs 3 hourly feeds so i stay up and play ps4 but cant cos servers are down
Still down in Trinidad and Tobago
i def sympathize with eggydavis I had the kids and wife out of town today
I live in US & all I can play is offline
Looks like the servers are back down agani they were up I was on HOME this morning.
No timetable as to when it will be fixed. This isn't the first time this has happened. They could've prevented this.
i just get black ops 2 again and i cant even play. f*ck this! wish i still had my xbox one so i could play that in the meantime.
Language - get2sammyb
@dj8503 you getting the error code "80710092" while signing in?
My two days off work this week and this happens today and maintenance tomorrow.....
Ont, Canada still down here
Nope. PS3 will sign in just can't play anything online. Ps4 won't sign in at all. Not even gonna waste my time trying to play a game on it. In the mean time I'll just play some walking dead survival instinct.
Why doesnt the goverment catch these hacker fuqs and shoot them in the head fuqers
But th
Ank god I have both ps4 an xbox one
@UK I was playing Bat4 this morning about 11 am went out and returned about midday and its been down since. Can't stand hackers,
On another note why the heck were SONY planning UK bank holiday maintenance??
I live in Texas and I've been able to play online on Blacklight but if I try to get on the PSN store it still says it's down for maintenance. I've been trying on and off since about 10:30 AM and it's 1:22PM now. Is there any ETA on it yet?
The government would rather spend money fighting wars we don't need to fight. Hackers aren't a big deal to them unless they hack them.
Nope no ETA.
Again I understand that Sony are not to blame for the attack. However isn't anyone else wondering why it's taking them so long to bring them back from a simple dos attack? Blizzard etc. came back quick. I think they are using this to do maintenance or they have a bigger problem!
Makes no sense and comms are appalling
@dj8503 i cant even sign in on my ps3. wish i had a next gen for f*ck sakes. BUT at least i still got my PC MASTER RACE!! WOOH WOOOOH
Language - get2sammyb
I just wish Sony can sue them till bankrupt for lost of biz so there will be years of them not having $$$ to do something this unproductive. My wedding anv gift to my hubby is now ruined.
@Tep that makes total sense. even if they used this for maintenance why wouldnt they just say so? i dont think people would be as mad. but hopefully psn gets back on soon! im getting tired of waiting.
@MW3WARR10R ps4 barely works. Most games take forever to start without being signed in. Wish my pc was built so I could play something online
@dj8503 ahah im a little nosey but what kind of specs you got?
Nothing yet. Still trying to get the parts together. Takes awhile on a budget. All I had is the case. Corsair obsidian 650d
@dj8503 yeah, i have a LOW budget pc right now. that runs games okay, but im building a new one soon, hope for an i7-4770k and gtx760!
I'm getting the i5 3570k & gtx 770
@dj8503 i need the extra CPU power due to rendering, uploading, editing, photoshop, etc. plus im thinking of putting the 760 in SLI with another.
@Punished_Boss Exactly what I'm thinking also is this a Pushsquare record for number of comments in a article.
@MW3WARR10R nice. I'm just gonna use mine for gaming. Wanna be able play anything on it.
@dj8503 yeah same.
US Rhode Island no PSN here.. hopefully all is okay.
My ps4 says failed 2 connect to server in time everytime i try and sign in to psn
Hackers suck! Get a job you losers!
This is bs. I wanna download some sh*t to my vita cuz my girl is playing the ps3. I have watched her play for 3 hours now. This sucks!
In Holland it's not working to wanna play battlefield 4
I would love to be building stuff in warframe right now...
8 hours down and counting zzzzzz
This sh*t is getting weird http://www.inquisitr.com/1429987/playstation-network-attacked-along-with-battle-net-services-brought-down/
Language - get2sammyb
@Punished_Boss Hahahaha!!!
Not cricket this being down shite
I can sign into PSN but it won't let me connect to any online sevices, no online multiplayer games work for me.
it isn't offline.. my brother is playing gta v with a ass load of people as I type this.
@damcanadian As well as in NS!
Man this ****ing sucks :/
Yeah but ps4 is
I'm still unable to log in on my PSN... It has been like that the last 10 hours..
@MW3WARR10R I'm from NS, not working for me either.
@TrueNsPride ahaha thanks man
I logged out of psn but wont sign back in just says cannot connect to server within time limit
@MW3WARR10R Add me when this whole show's done and over! TurismoSpazz
@TrueNsPride i will for sure! its nice playing with other scotians! aha
@TrueNsPride what games you play?
@Profoundbean I'm from Ontario, Canada. My PS4 is saying the same thing. PS3 won't sign in either.
-Yours truly, Toxie.
I can sign into my account and see friends, but cannot get to store or play multiplayer. getting ticket server error.
here in california-USA 12:12pm
Still down been 8 hrs now......
Jesus Christ you'd think someone had shot Obama, Hitler has come back to life or Man United are wasting £60m on a player they don't need (they are?). PSN is down. Accept it and move on with your lives. If your life is this badly affected by not being able to use a PlayStation you need to seriously reevaluate your life. Go outside, read a book, watch a classic film, maybe even try and get laid.
@frostbite106 on ps4 or PS3
@rastamadeus ahahahh man united do need a good player tho. they only have 3 right now. rooney, van persie and de gea.
@MW3WARR10R Well, been trying to play mw3 but I guess not, but mostly that and test drive. but i've got bo2, mw2, gt5 and gt6, and gta 5!
Oh lizard squad...I'm afraid there are hackers much worse than you out there and it seems you've just put yourselves on their radar.
Also making fake bomb threats against airlines?! Really?! You just went from a bad joke to a major felony guys.
@rastamadeus says the scouse exile southport virgin =)
@TrueNsPride i play ghosts, bo2, gta5, bf4, sometimes, fifa 14, and mc.
@MW3WARR10R Oh yeah, I got Mc too!
@TrueNsPride niceeee
Yessirr
@Spiritofvoodoo May not have been Lizard Squad actually!! http://www.gamezone.com/news/2014/08/24/lizard-squad-may-not-be-the-ones-responsible-for-psn-ddos-attack
@MW3WARR10R Am now able to login to PSN in NS.
@TrueNsPride can you play online?
@rastamadeus Laughing my head off at this! Very well played!
@Tep Back thanks for the link, good read..
up for me here in New England a few of my friends are on.. i hope the lizard trolls get theres.
@TrueNsPride Even if it wasn't them, they claimed responsibility and posted fake tweets warning PSN director of a bomb on his plane. That in itself, given the current political situation is a criminal offence. DDOS in itself is not a crime. It lies in the grey area of cyber crime, but bomb threats are...just check out the tweets, it's all they're with their #tag right above it. I'm only stating fact.
@Splat this
@Jazzer94 We're past 300, the longer this DDOS attack goes on, the longer the comment section goes on it seems.
NS has psn back.
Have added an official statement from Sony to the article.
i wonder if we're getting free games again
@MW3WARR10R Yeah, at the Find Game option for MW3 right now! 'Tis up and running in NS.
I was playing Garden Warfare at around 2am PST when I was disconnected. I will try again later when I get a chance too.
@TrueNsPride i added you btw
Rep. of Ireland is still down
Sorry guys new to the next gen just tried to play the last of us and the disk just attempts to load up but nothing happens is this due to what's happening with the psn ? Or is there something wrong with my console? P.s I'm in England cheers
try disconnect from the internet altogether and then see how it goes
Whooo Hoo! FINALLY Back online! Again I said earlier I live in California, USA Now I can Play TLoU again MP THANX!
Australia here.
Still say PSN is under maintenance.
still down in Michigan USA
Feel bad for Sony and PSN
They get a lot of heat off this because of some losers, at least they're working on it they never wanted any of this.
still out in Ireland
Still down in illinois USA
Where did all these people come from ha ha
@TheToxicAvenger you are my hero
Taking a few hour break from trying to stay connected to psn, because im a genius and havent made my ps4 my primary, none of my games are playable atm. Its my own stupid fault for not doing that yet. Going to go outside, do some yard work, maybe swim, and hope its sorted out by the time my wife/kid hit the sack so i can continue my quest to 70.
@SimonAdebisi I know! Right?
I dont know but this is the largest flood of newcomers ever
Holy eff, look at all of these comments!
Doesn't really affect me since I was planning on playing on my Xbox One for the next few days, but Sony definitely needs better security.
I can't sign in and none of my games are loading.
im a lil disappointed, was really hoping to play final fantasy 14
Wow, right when I comment that, Madden 25 loads. Yay!
@Knux you should keep your eye on whats going on, someone taking responsibility for this say Xbox is next
http://www.inquisitr.com/1429987/playstation-network-attacked-along-with-battle-net-services-brought-down/
Still down for Virginia, USA.
Facepalm was looking forward to using my new warframe...and ugh...my kubrow is suffering for this x.x
Still can't sign in, though.
@Punished_Boss We will reach 400 at this point.
BTW I'm from New York if that helps at all.
What are the chances sony will reimburse us? I doubt warframe will give me a free DNA stabilizer
@Dreadcthulu yeah, it. Better be up within 10 days! Else my kubrow will die! Haven't even seen him matured yet! Was looking forward to that
I was planning on building Ignis today for my ember build...well at least finding the parts to build it lol
if anyone lives in nova scotia they are in luck. we have psn again!
You can play online?
yep! we have it! im playing ghosts and i only have a few friends online able to pplay
Jealous
Holy hand grenades, this is the most comments I've seen on an article on here. I've never seen so much panic and outrage going on about something so mundane...play solo or go read a book or something. The attack is irritating and those who orchestrated it are collosal d*ck jugglers, but it's not like it's a major hack that's snatched bank details or anything.
Language - get2sammyb
ahshs itll be up soon enough for everyone. be patient
It works in Sweden now
@Munkyknuts exactly, i played solo zombies while waiting!
Come on Ireland!!!!!
@SimonAdebisi All in a days work. Stay Toxic.
-Yours truly, Toxie.
I have to head to work soon, ugh I am going to be a gloomy mess for the next 5 hours! TO think of my poor kubrow....all alone in that ship v.v Its like my lost tamigachi all over again.
Yay Its back up! -Florida
how are you guys getting these Kubrow?
Ps4 still down. PS3 working just fine. Really wanna play my ps4
whats irratating is people who have subscriptions for mmo's and playstation plus are losing out on time that they paid for.
Mine says cannot connect to server within the time limit is that what's wrong
Greece here sama things . Dont work anythig
kubrow quest starts when you kill jackal
@pretty-wasted its not up for me in florida
@MW3WARR10R The comments raging against Sony....because one of the 1000s of attacks got through....being 'done with Sony' and stuff, melodramatic over reactions.
Ahhhh okay, thanks
@Munkyknuts my thoughts exactly. people cussing and raging over a simple ddos.
Not signing out from now on PS3 from now lol
Ps4 still down in North Carolina. .....
@cheeselick74 it sure is. fml
Kubrow is the new battle pet in warframe....and still down. sigh I hope i don't end up writing a creepy pasta about the ghost of my dead kubrow
@Dustykitten it started working 5 min ago, I could sign on, but unable to play online or use the PlayStation store. But its back up and running again. Slowly but surely it's all coming back on.
still down in Florida... yo bro I have a 50$ psn card I just wanna use please sony if you are reading this hurry up please
lol
Is that what it means when t says cannot connect to the server within the time limit I just bought pvz last night and only played from a couple hr this sucks but Sony will fix it I'm in Pennsylvania
I know this is frustrating for everyone, but if we could try to keep the swearing down! Thank you!
@get2sammyb Ive seen you post lolz are you a mod? admin? lolz?
@get2sammyb I know, right?
@Casey55 Warframe is free and requires no playstation plus to go online. Its mass effect with jumping and faster action
@MW3WARR10R madness....amusing to watch/read tho...I feel there is a scientic study that could be made out of it. I'm curious how many people were not at all fussed about getting onto PSN until they couldn't have it.
Ps4 still unable to connect to server. Colorado Springs CO
I could care less about the store and all that. Just want to be able to play final fantasy 14 online and can't withouth PSN up.
@get2sammyb well said sir.
Yea warfare is real fun I didn't think it's was going to be for me but I'm glad I bought it
@get2sammyb Best workout in a single article as a mod right?
That moment when your game loads ten it says LOGIN FAILED
@get2sammyb I would not like to be a mod at this current time.
I can get online on my PS4 but my PS3 is dead. I'm in Arkansas
@Synthetic_Skin I know right, I was already online earlier as PSN went down and logged off before I knew about the DDOS T_T
@LDXD it's crazy....reminds me of the Adventure Time when all the f**king green penguins pop up out of nowhere and want to smash bottles.
Just wanted to let the lizard group know that I am still not mad at Sony and I'm still gonna have a great day! Smile everyone let's not let a small inconvenience get us down.these are just sad people wanting to make us just as sad as they are. Sony is a good company and they will fix this. We will all be able to game with our friends and family again. Regardless of a little sad group of lizard folk.
@naru259 You play FFXIV? I'm on Ultros server NA
since theres ff14 people here i have a question about chocobo color. do you have to be online for the 6 hours for the color to change?
Still down in Virginia...by Odin's bloody eye...hopefully it'll get fixed when i come home from work.
If it comes back tonight i feel an all nighter coming on to make up for this
Playstation store is back as of now.
Australia
Good timing hackers.now i miss mad xp on gta,and killzone shadow fall and a late nights bank holiday online play.thanks very much
@lindseyroby as I am in reclusion, I certainly have developed a deep love for FFXIV. You do not have to be online for 6 hours. Simply feed your chocobo before you log out. Log in 6 hours later and his colour will be altered.
-Yours truly, Toxie.

@Synthetic_Skin Yeah, Zodiac EU server though
"Lizard Squad"...? More like "Baby Squad."
gilgamesh here question on how long till they do that ninja update you think:)
This is a disgrace, love my PS4 n all. But how come MS and Xboxlive never have this trouble?
Well, they can always trace this stuff and I doubt they covered all their tracks. I all I have to say to those responsible for this.....Don't drop the soap because gweedo will be right behind you. o.O
@Davros79 probably because PS4 is the more popular platform atm
Hows it going for everyone? any back up and running?
Almost 400 comments.... Wow.
Mines down again (uk) wooh though!
@special_donkey post 400....I feel you should have gotten the little 'ping' of a trophy notification popping up lol.
@Davros79 they have problems like this too.dont think its just sony
@Naru259 yes but even when the ps3 an 360 were in their pomp, Xblive out performed psn even then, even with more xbs in circulation
@Munkyknuts yeah,thats the most fun i've had all day..couldn't of done it without you guys lol...nice.
@mccaff funny ive owned a xbox1 an a ps4 since last November and in all that time ive seen xboxlive go down ONCE.
thank you toxic avenger,just everyone in my free company ignores me. thanks for all your help
I just bought my ps4 today :c I cant make a psn account it just stays at please wait screen is this because psn is down does anyone know ?
Oh heavens!
@lindseyroby why not change FC's then?
im thinking about it, its not like i have anyone to play with anyway
Hmmm could this hit 500 posts...will it go on long enough? Who knows!? Ooooooh the excitement.
@DigitalBite Yes, that is the case. You won't be able to make an account until PSN is back up and running.
If people are honest with themselves, then PSN is a phucking joke compared to its competitors.
It was tolerated on ps3 BUT we pay good money for the sevice now.
Still down for me in Michigan, USA. Really wanting to play some TLoUR!
@lindseyroby I'd say go for it, think I'd go nuts if I didn't have my FC to talk to when I'm on
@Davros79 you are going to look a bit of a fool if Xbox gets hit next...but do continue it's quite amusing
Did I die or something, past 400 comments my goodness.
I'm using the browser on my PS4 to post this lol but I still can't connect to PSN is this the same for everyone?
Hey munky nuts. Whats your problem? I own a ps4. Stop being so bloody childish.
Ha ha delirious told me about this happening lol to bad for u losers hahahaha
Still down in Tennessee. No Warframe or anything else fun today :/
@Munkyknuts they were http://gearnuke.com/hacker-group-derp-beigns-attacking-xbox-live-brings-ddos-attack/ DDOS attacks can happen to any company, full on hacks are a different story.
PureXbox need to hack Xbox Live asap.
I was able to connect earlier to TLoUR, but got kicked every time it tried to load a map.
@Davros79 really I'm being childish? You're the one ranting.
Yeah that is true de did hack into xboxlive it sucked but I at least got to edit some vids for youtube
Im sick of ps3 PlayStation pluse getting gd gms, and ps4 owners getting slap in the face with indi gms. I have a ps3 n ps4 and really wish i have waited. One more though planetside 2 or destiny ?
Derp not de
@Munkyknuts i love ps4, but xbox rebuffed an "attack" quickly sony still have NOT
@Punished_Boss I'm well aware they can and do happen to many companies...which is why all the rants about Sony are ridiculous.
I can connect to store and account now
Don't know bout u guys I'm in the UK
I feel like everyone is substituting this thread with video games today lol
@lindseyroby you def need a new FC, really helps to have a good one!!
@Davros79 it can still happen to them too. I see from your previous posts that you get rather excitable often tho so I'll leave you to it.
@lindseyroby if you do not want to leave your FC you could always join a linkshell! The linkshell I'm with has about 200 members and is incredibly active/helpful. I don't have the heart to leave my FC but you can be a member of multiple linkshells and they are essentially the same thing as an FC just without a company chest. If you're playing on the Malboro server I could request you to be added. Now back to the topic, I have been able to sign into my PS3 network and access the PS-store etc. but my PS4 network services are still down.
-Yours truly, Toxie.
Please take your vile filth elsewhere - get2sammyb
@Munkyknuts it has happened to them an they had the means to deal with it swiftly. Thats all im saying.
Dont be blinded by unwavering sony bias.
Still not up in Southern California
@H20_delirious Serously sub begging when you have over 3 million subs, I've seen it all.
Nothing wrong with wanting more subs
Still not up in Ireland
Lol, lets not forget people, PSN was also hacked back in 2010 (servers were down for close to a month) and back in 2012 (servers were down for 2 weeks 4 days) . Just saying it seems to be a recurring problem every 2 years, why can sony not figure out how to stop this from happening already? yes i understand some hackers are very good at what they do and can do some amazing sh*t, but with the amount of $ PSN makes , they cant get a program or make a "firewall" so to speak to protect us? and how are we sure that our information wasn't taken? look what happened to Target... i'm just saying i agree with people that say we deserve some Compensation. We are paying to play online, but still paying to not be able to play on line, what about people that play FFXIV? they have to pay to not play that as well (on PS). Thanks again Playstation for the major Disappointment. For you idiots that are "Defending" psn? stop talking. LOL
Language - get2sammyb
He'll I'm happy when I get new subs by the way if you like outlast i did a lets play on it so yah check that out
@H20_delirious No thanks,can u like,shut up? thanks
@H20_delirious Yeah no.
@Special_Donkey i agree with you. Annoying people that just trash talk thinking they know whats going on. typical, just wanting attention because they never received it as a child.
Still down in NY - Btw.
F*ck u I that's y it make money doing something I love unlike you who sleeps in ur moms basement eating Doritos
Language - get2sammyb
anyone know any good FC in Zelara server?
@Davros79 I don't have an unwavering bias towards Sony....as I said this can happen to Xbox as well, just because they have defended well so far doesn't mean they always will. I also don't go into rants about something as unimportant as this. If it was a hack that had put personal info at risk I'd care more. I couldn't give a damn about all the Xbox vs Sony stuff, and I have the perspective to see PSN being down isn't the end of the world, it's an irritation. But as I said you like to get all excitable on here...everyone needs a hobby.
Furious rival u don't know what ur talking about I was just telling u guys about my channel there's nothing wrong with that
H20, i never said there was anything wrong with it . lol, just saying that (your last comment) was about someone (i think you meant me) sits in my moms basement? lol unlike you (most likely) i work 2 jobs, at about 65 hours a weak just to make a living in this sh*tty economy.
Language - get2sammyb
and still down in Los Angeles, Kalifornia
@Munkynuts i agree with your comments. But as you can see people take things way out of proportion. i have both Xbox one and Ps4, and i love them both. to be honest, you cant compare them... Xbox has its ups and downs. So does sony, and Munky is right, Xbox could be hacked,,, probably will someday. But Xbox = Entertainment System, Ps4 = Gaming Console. if your in it for the GAMES, i recommend Ps4, if you in it for "oh i can watch TV, or i can talk to it, or i can skype..." I recommend Xbox. If your a gamer, Ps4 is the way to go. Hopefully this issue gets Resolved Soon.
@Munkyknuts i have a both a job and also plenty of hobbies. I only tell my honest opinions, if you find what i say too "excitable" for your tastes then fine.
I'd rather be a tiger than a sheep=)
I'm in the uk and mine has been ok all day, on both ps4 and vita
Ps4 has much better upcoming games than xbox1 IMO.
But xblive whacks psn for functionality an accessabilty.
Well it looks like 1/4 of the population can play ps4 when others can not... I dont understand why that would be... Sony will have much explaining to do when this is over.
WHAT you dont like doritos bro
Hey @lindseyroby Im on Zalera and Im leader of FC no gutz no glory, were a very active and social fc who helps with beginners to end game play my character is Matt Coldasice if you are intrested look me up when this mess is solved

Also I'm too much into warframe
i was pretty skeptical about FFXIV because of the subscriptions, i played one day and i was totally sold.
Anyone on the east cost of the US able to get on?
@lindseyroby Hey dont know if you saw post but Im in Zalera and our FC is "no gutz no glory" like isaid we are a social and active FC who does help with beginners yo end game play and everything between, so if u want to not be ignored and more involve with game, whitch makes play way more enjoyable give me a whisper "Matt Coldasice" or just say hi Happy Hunting XD
anyone know if they still planning that Maintenance tommorrow, would suck seeing as people still cant get on psn today
My friend in TX was able to get on psn and logged in to FFXIV just fine. T9 clear has been pushed back '^_^' lizard may as well come poop in my microwave while they are at it.
Still down in colorado
Zakies I'm pretty sure there just gonna do it now cause the attack

Quahar I hope so, I would like to be able to get on my ps4 at least once on my off days
30 mins till raid comon sony dont fail me
my patience has worn out. let's go sony.
still down in Wisconsin
I can only imagine how annoying today has been for the Playstation division.
Anyway I've been able to get on periodically.
Working in Arkansas???
can use the share factory and all but no online play :/
If we get to 599.99 US Dollars then we can end it there.
End what where?
@Quahar This insane amount of comments, with a large percentage coming from people that came out of nowhere.
still out in Ireland, 500 comments congrats
How?
Seriously lets go Sony top brand and turns out your so weak where all the money going. This is bs I expect way better im really not feeling safe with your products im really thinking about stickin with microsoft
@Quahar Thats what I'd like to know!
Like a kid is able to bypass Ur security common now
Damcanadian those hackers were the best in the world and sony gets hit with about 32 mil attacks a day his is the only one that succeeded so stfu
Its Wat they say to keep you calm thats great if it works for you but not me
Sony didn't tell me that my research did
And there not the best the best dont play around with games they mess with banks money gourverment sh*t. U idiot
Language - get2sammyb
And there not aloud to troll?
its working for me im in usa
The group is the lizards they are the best
@zakies thats where im at. Just want to play some games online with some pals. Any word from sony other than "you know what the problem is and we are trying to fix it" timeframes are something people kill for.
It's a DDoS attack, anyone can get hit by those. Lets keep it a bit real here, this isn't a movie. LOL Any bank in the world that is also online can get it, any company or coporation out in the world that is online can get it. Just keeping it real here people.
@Demi_God lol
Agree
@soracloud28 no I haven't heard anything new other then that they redirect people on twitter to this http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/08/24/playstation-network-update-2/ which they haven't given a single update at all yet on what their progress is so far.
they dont know how to fix it maybe..
sure they do ps3 is back on why not ps4 they share the same severs dont they?
maybe ps4 is more complicated system than ps3...
i hope they get it fix soon that last tweet was 4 hours ago nothing new so far
I'm suppose to beat T9 tonight. Dammit!!!
from gamespot http://www.gamespot.com/articles/hackers-claim-they-brought-down-playstation-networ/1100-6421891/ theres a chance they will also take down psn tommorrow for that maintenance too, which would mean no gameplay today and tommorrow for ps4
got 2 days off and cant even play...
xD same
still down in wisconsin
Friends list says people are play GTA online, time for me to check aaaaaaaand?!! unable to conect... wtf?
Xbox live is going down, people still logged on are safe for the moment, but anyone who logs out is having same probs as psn...seems to be only certain regions at the moment according to tweets and such...this sucks
@Punished_Boss jesus punished boss, theyre all twitter/facebook followers of the hackers themselves, that much is obvious.
I'm afraid it will stay for longer than one day on ps4.... my vita is fine.
there goes my final fantasy trial days
There's a reactor alert on warframe f*kkkkkkkkkk whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Canada here still nothing
they should give out some sort of compensation at the rate this is going at
arrrrrrgh....still down
OK just got off the phone with Sony and due the series of reason they cant explain we should be up and running by 730 pm aug 25th. And again sorry for the inconvience
its just a few hours so far and I don't thing they will do any sort of compensation. at the end they will say it was just a maintenance
PSN is back up people! everyone onto warframe!!!
This is ridiculous still nothing in Midwest U.S at least for me
???
nah, im kidding...
7:30 pm aug 25th O.o there goes another whole day of no psn

@Timmy21 I do of course
Rumours of Sony saying psn will be back up 3:00am GMT
Xbox has confirmed they have been affected too...can't see any info as to what extent they have been damaged.

Right, I'm afraid I'm out. It's bed time here in the UK, so any updates will need to wait until the morning. Hopefully you'll all be busy playing games by then. Feel free to continue discussing the situation, but remember to keep your language under control and respect other members.
Thank you!
@Spiritofvoodoo are they still doing maintenance tomorrow?
true true
@get2sammyb way past bedtime and you have had a shockingly busy Sunday evening.
@Timmy21 Nothing is confirm yet but there some who are saying there might be one, i wish sony would at least give us an answer on that.

@zakies damn I really wanted to make another kubrow tonight.
@Timmy21 yes there is a reactor alert I have warframe nexus like my profile pic lololololol
@SYKO-_-TURTLEZ how are you in warframe lol?
@Timmy21 From what I've read (I would post links if I could but on with mobile and won't post links for some reason) Sony are using this time for maintenance which may or may not be extended to 7:50pm GMT 25/08/14. From what I can gather, if they don't have servers back up by 3:00am GMT they will continue maintenance until that time. So I'm assuming that they are using this down time for maintenance too. None of this is set in stone but at least we have some info from Sony
I'm not it was a pic I took a week ago before u14
@Spiritofvoodoo yeah true.
@Timmy21. Add me xblade613
I was suppose to do the mirage quest at 8 am then go to my dojo and get the silva and aegis blueprint at 2:10pm ugggggg

I was on xbox 360 today and they were laughing about this.
Xbox jerks
Master rank 13 on warframe if u guys wanna add me addy crh2970
just called sony and they told me at least 72 hours
@not-you no way. They wouldn't be down that long. 3 am easily. I'm able to load warframe but not log into warframe yet.
i was spamming the sign in button and got in
please watch the language -Tasuki-
@not-you so 3 days lol?
i think they meant 3 mins
I seriously don't get it. I'm sure you all know what DDOS is by now (flooding the server with enough artificial traffic to overload it) and all that takes is a server reboot. I've been in computer programming for years and the only reason this could be going on for so long is every time they reboot servers they are being hit again. If that's the case this could go on for a while...basically until the beggar doing it gets caught/bored/or otherwise incapacitated by an over zealous/vigilante PS owner.
Anyone get into warframe yet?
@not-you. Why you trolling people
@Spiritofvoodoo dude u should be that vigilante obviously u know how u said I've been in computer programming for years and shit
Uve*
Let me play diablo... I literally just bought it -_-
@Beowulf Diablo is alright. Prefer many other games over it.
@Timmy21 blasphemy!
@Timmy21 blasphemy!
Warframe is sooo boring now, I have everything
Warframe is sooo boring now, I have everything
@Munkyknuts hooray 4 u henry! My xbox1 s working fine ATM, no probs .
I still have a lot to do in warframe but very very fun still even at mastery rank 9 lol.
@Quahar I would gladly don my cape and tights...ahem! But the problem is that the attacker isn't stealing any data and to trace the original IP would take a team of people a few days if not weeks because they'll have basically bounced it around the world.
This would be classed as a sucker punch of the hacking world as it gains the hacker nothing and is relatively untraceable. The only eff up they made was a threat of bombing an American airline which takes it from a poor joke to a criminal offence, which is another reason this may be taking so long as Sony have probably had to involve the law and the best way to catch them is to let them keep doing it...unfortunately
I'm bout to take some pliers and jam it into my tv and take the tiny lock off diablo...
Oh that sucks
@Spiritofvoodoo lol watchdogs reference?
@insanesniper223 just a little one
Well I think they are making a little progress I'm not getting server maintenance as often
Its been out in Queensland, Australia for 16 hours so far on PS4. None of the games purchased on PSN will allow you to play without login.
@ss77 dis-connect from internet, you should be able to play offline
Thank you for the tip!
With warframe too?
@Quahar technically yes, it's only purely multiplayer/online gaming that will be affected
so is warframe a free to pay game or pay to win game?
Mixture
Mixture
I don't play online anyways I always play solo
@Spiritofvoodoo. Not true ive been playing watch dogs offline even connected to interney and I buy all my games online
But if the game is online only den no playing that one
Diablo isn't online only but I still can't play it on or offline
A good indication of progress is in the error message you receive when trying to log on.
'Maintenance' - Sony have shut the server.
'Connection timed out/no error message' - the servers are online but full, meaning they're still under DDOS attack
This true but diablo a 2 server game. Weird to say
I hope the kid that is doing this, gets a bat upside his head when his ps4 owner room-mate gets home
@Beowulf some games like Diablo and possibly warframe create an online instance for you to play in, these types of games will unfortunately still be locked out. Best way to test it is to simply switch off your router and try. If still no luck then it's a strictly online game...even if the game only needs to communicates with the server for a second, it won't work
@damcanadian watchdogs isn't classed as online because there is no online instance created, only during pvp sections of gameplay...those will be locked out. Some games aren't strictly online but require a server connection for leaderboards/trophies etc. as I said, best way to test is dis-connect and re-load
There are some games that auto sign in even tho they don't need to be online. They're the ones that'll work again if you unplug
I think Mojang caused the crash with his premature minecraft ps4 edition;)
It has been confirmed that the FBI are now involved because of the bomb threat. The DDOS' ers have stared attacking blizzard and battle.net again along with hassling random gamers on PC,PS and Xbox
Im about to call sombody... These was $500 and i cant play a game...
Please watch the languae -Tasuki-
Still can't use the app, I assume that means it's still down in NA. PushSquare posters must be reproducing by budding, 630 comments is a feat
Hmmmmm
Tryin if warframe works
Ok guys time for a little warning, I know we are all upset about not being able to get online but please watch the language, This is a warning and if I have to edit anymore posts then there will be consequences.
Thanks for understanding
Warframe doesn't work
@Tasuki im guessing this is you and sammy atm
Sony have stated that PSN is back online. They said it will be a slow process to get back to full capacity.
Hopefully we'll be back on soon guys. Think it'll be luck of the draw which regions go online first
Ask PlayStation tweeted the following message:
“Sony Network Ent. has reported that PSN service is returning, but you may experience slowness or login issues as the network stabilizes.”
Wow. 657 posts. Relax people. Sometimes the power goes out. It's inconvenient but eventually it comes back on. It's not the end of the world. Maybe try doing something else for the afternoon/evening? Jeez.
Ugh...it still aint up for Virginia
its not up
@zerotheclown yes it is they said it may take time for some people to get on
ANYONE able to get on yet? Lets fill this with some good news. Maybe reach #1000?
I was on for about 2 minutes then kicked again...it's kinda good news
it hasn't come back on yet. i think they are rolling it out slowly, it isn't "switched on". i just tried and got the same issues as before. NC
I wish it was a simple matter as unplugging it, then plugging it back in...
@zerotheclown dude shut up and check the status it's online it just may take some time for some users to get it
@Quahar, there's no need for you to get hostile. if it's working for you, great. i'm reporting that it isn't working for me. and it looks like it's not working for a lot of other people still, too. if you are back online on yours, go play.
I was just online and is working fine fine GA us
I'm in Texas and my ps3 is able to go online and play multiplayer, access psn, etc. But not my ps4 or vita.
@zerotheclown u said it was off twice not that it wasn't working for u it's not working for me either but the servers are still on

Since xbox was hit, forums have turned from PS and XB users flaming each other into a kind of unified hatred for DDOS'ers...they temporarily stopped the console wars lol
Console wars? stares blankly at his ps4 and xbox one sitting side by side whose....whose winning?
@Dreadcthulu in war... No one truly wins
674 PLUS COMMENTS?!! What is this Nintendo life?! all these comments over PSN being down ridiculous GET A LIFE PEOPLE!
@Diddy_kong for some people it can be the end of the world because they escape the real world and enter the virtual world to get away from the pain irl
If anyone in Ontario has PS4 network access let me know. Everyone I know in my area still can not access the PSN on PS4... Including myself... Missing out on FFXIV dailies haha.
-Yours truly, Toxie.
Colorado still down. '^_^' #rage_quit

I live in Ontario I just signed in now to see if it works
It's back on in UTAH!

@TOMBOY25: Lol yeah I guess you can say that. I had to clean up a few posts nothing bad though. Mostly its new users posting who are not familiar with the rules most likely just around because PSN is offline.

@Sarwarhussain14 GTA is nothing to do with Sony, and it's hard for any company to mitigate DDoS attacks.
Have we slowed down? My god! 700 comments! My response to hitting 599. I was sleeping so who has the time to be dead accurate?
PSN is working fine here in NE England....hopefully everyone can stop acting like world wide doom and death is imminent.
