Especially because that all went down last night and they continued hitting it all day long.

Saw this on another forum. St Louis is being hit, is that where the servers are?

My ps3 still can't connect. Neither than my buddy's ps4

I agree, all of this seems like a story prank being played on Twitter. I remember last Christmas having the exact same problems as this year. Psn was down all Christmas and boxing day, but at night when traffic was lower things started working again.
I don't really know, but it seems more opportunistic than a well thought out cyber attack.

It is possible since Sony do host servers in St. Louis. Tor might have stuff hosted in St. Louis and that is who they said they are targeting now so could be them too. If you go here to their faq....

https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en

Under Business executives use Tor it has this little blurb...

But if a specific bank in St. Louis is breached, they don't want an attacker watching the incoming traffic to such a repository to be able to track where information is coming from.

The fact that they would say a bank in St. Louis instead of just saying a bank in general would make me think they have some kind of St. Louis connection.

But Seattle is also starting to see a new wave of DDoS attacks which is where Microsoft have servers so they could have focused back on PSN and XBL. Not really sure what they point of attacking PSN would be though when it isn't like it is working without the attacks since Sony have taken most of it offline themselves.

We splurged for PS4 for the teenager this year. We got him Destiny to go with it and his sister gave him a PS+ for a year.

He's been mopey about not being able to play it and is temporarily mollified with the PS3 now that's it working again.

It's been a sucky Christmas for him and we're a little PO'd about spending the money for essentially an over-sized paperweight. He can do a few things with it, but not much.

If we had an idea when the network would be back up, it probably wouldn't be so bad.

Is PSN always under attack or what?

Until they learn how stop DDOS attacks, then yes.

And in good news, Anonymous has declared war on LS vowing to take them down.

Anon and The Finest Squad also said they were going to stop this from happening to begin with so their track record isn't looking too good right now

Lizard squad interview, found at Gamefaqs forum.

They're such *******s and bored with their mundane lives.

Scottie · 12-27-2014, 02:00 AM

I'm pretty sure these people have not been DDoSing for quite some time now. If the servers have been turned off for about two days at this point, how much damage could possibly be done? I'm sick of seeing @AskPlayStation stating that they do not have any ETA.

If Microsoft can get their services back up within hours, how can it possibly take Sony days?

Dirk504 · 12-27-2014, 02:08 AM

Really disappointed in Sony after this. How can MS be restored and PSN be down?

Scottie · 12-27-2014, 02:46 AM

A member from the hacker group, Anonymous, is apparently assisting Sony in the restoration process and some individuals have gotten on because of him.

Because, like it or not, the Live infrastructure is superior to PSN.

skullman80 · 12-27-2014, 03:03 AM

I was just able to get into the Playstation store from the PSApp on my phone, haven't tried from the PS4 yet.

Blufury · 12-27-2014, 03:04 AM

I expect to be compensated by Sony. Not being able to access a service I pay for for 3 days is ridiculous.

You might get a couple bucks, which is really all you are entitled too based on what you pay.

Not saying that I don't agree with you, because I do, but I doubt they give anything much.
