What we need is laws to regulate this kind of virtual crime. I'm quite sure it's easy for government agencies to track down the perpetrators, but then what? What kind of laws could be used against their crimes done in a virtual field? I'm not talking about anything like SOPA, but something on the lines of "if you steal money on the internet you answer for it like you've stolen money in the real world". It's simple. But try to do something like that and all the Anon kiddies will rally and use their haxxor powers to sabotage any atempt. They're not fighting for freedom when they use their skills to censor anybody who talk against them or have different point of views.

On a side note, according to this article from Bussiness Inside (http://www.businessinsider.com/why-h...etwork-2014-12), seems like SoE did indeed upgrade their security. But I think any company can protect themselves just so much against people that fear no punishment... simply because none will come. In fact, they only get rewards, vide what megaupload's owner did.

And they'e doing "for the lulz". Seriously.

So supposedly PSN is back up. I live here in California and Iam wondering why in the world its STILL not working for me.... Anyone else still experiencing this???

PSN is not a singular entity, its actually composed of many different servers across the world. Its most likely that the local server that you use to connect to the main body of PSN is down, being repaired or having its database rebuilt. This is why things can be so spotty, and why some people can connect and others can't.

Thanks so much for the info!

Supposedly they are only allowing so many people in at a time. Not working for me either. I either get Connection Timed Out, or Lost Connection to Server. And that's just trying to sign in to PSN.

I just got in on PS4, even though PS Knowledge Center still says PS4 is down.

Like the above poster, I'm also in California.

Another fun fact, back in November, some Hong Kong websites were the target of a large-scale DDOS attack.

“We’re seeing over 250 million DNS requests per second, which is probably on par with the total DNS requests for the entire Internet in a normal second,”

The attack on XBL and PSN was bigger. Let that sink in for a second.

For about 30 minutes now I've been able to log onto DCUO on my PS4 so it's up for me.

I live on the East Coast BTW.
