PSN UP

Yes there not 100% protection....... but clearly this proves Sony is using something shitty.......

How often you hear MS Xbox Live being hacked/ DDOS and taken down hours on end?

Doesn't matter. Point is that this is an external problem caused by people who are doing things they shouldn't be doing. This then turned into a bomb threat made on Smedley's (SOE) flight which now has him stuck in Arizona.

It doesn't matter if Sony's "using something bad" for DDOS mitigation, the fact is that it shouldn't be needed. It sucks for us, but that's all groups that do this kind of thing really want, to annoy the hell out of us.

Since the month-long outage during Sony's security breach in 2011, Sony's become the whipping boy for all sorts of stupid shenanigans. DDOS isn't hacking, it's just flooding and the worst part about it is that despite Blizzard, Riot, Grinding Gear Games, and other studios and/or platforms getting hit by this, Sony still gets the biggest amount of attention from all sides.

Because being Japanese, and having a shred of decency, they set a stupid precedent by apologizing (despite being the victims themselves,) after which they gave out free stuff for the inconvenience. The leeches are only making a big noise about the down time this time because they're hoping for the same.

Or because they inane two-year olds who didn't read the prompt, and didn't set a PSN account as primary on their PS4, so can't get into anything in offline mode.

In this case, the string of DDoS attacks are merely chaotic, intended to be inconvenient over the weekend. The group responsible has been (lately) trying to put a cause to what they're doing but is largely trollsy.

I wasn't referring to the group claiming responsibility for the attacks.

He wants to claim it's for security protests but I don't believe him.
