Re: Sony Investigating as Christmas Traffic Pulls PSN Offline

I'm in North London - UK. Been told that the servers will be operational within the next 24 hours. My son has reverted back to his xbox 360 and doesn't seem too bothered about the ps4 now, which he was really looking forward to.
Money well spent again, sheesh.

@Jacoba74 I re-booted the router and did an internet test with the ps4. It said the connection was fine. However, when ever I try to connect to psn I keep getting the same error message with regards to the servers. Haven't got a clue what's going on At least you've got it up and running Jacoba so there's happy faces in your household

@Pakio89 Same here. I can sign into the online website through my pc, but I can't sign onto anything with the actual ps4.

That's what I was thinking but it appears that some people got access. They also announced that they was going to hack Sony at Christmas before Sony was hacked. They appear to delete their tweets every 15 hours for some reason. NBC announced it is them on Twitter, which is probably why they've started to trend on there.

@Jacoba74 ... They're announcing what they're doing on Twitter. They're announcing what they're doing and are currently trending on there. Twitter can't get rid of them and they're on the news too. I think this is the start of something big.

Please watch the language -Tasuki-

Sony have now said that there is no eta with regards to the server problem and microsoft have now admitted that they have been attacked again today having got their servers back for a short while. You Know Who have said that psn will remain off line until further notice. As a joke, they have said, they will allow psn to operate properly if they are verified on twitter, which is now trending on there. It's a crazy ol' World isn't it.

You must be one of a few then get2sammyb. I bought my son a ps4 for Christmas and he still can't create a psn account. It lets him get so far, then it says 'servers down' or words to that effect. All he can do is play campaigns at the moment, like most people.
You would think that big corporations like Sony would have back-up servers, or something to combat attacks like this one. It is pretty poor in todays day 'n age when a group of kids can turn over company's like Sony and Microsoft. It wouldn't be too bad if they targeted Apple, you know, company's that treat their staff like dirt.

PSN servers still down in the UK due to a hack attack at Sony. The Daily Express reported that Sony received a warning with regards to a Christmas Day attack on their servers from a group calling themselves, you know who. (this was in a national newspaper so I'm not sure how true it is.) Either way, the servers are still down over here (London.) I was told that they should be up and running by Monday.
