PSN is down

[LLSmoothJ]

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.

Seems only PSN is up for PS3 even though a lot of people have bought a PS4 and moving to that system, naw lets focus on the older system instead...

Well the group attacking them probably wants to hurt Sony the most which would be on their new system.

Just want to report that I've gotten on as well via PS4, not sure if it was a fluke or what. Hopefully this means they're at least coming back online... soon...

Was actually about sony doing things backwards cause both PS3 and PS4 was down but sony decided to fix the PS3 part before PS4. Anyways I finally got signed into the network after pressing the login button over and over haven't tried XIV yet though.

So all the plants are dead in my free company house, since all of our members are PS4 players.

6 thav onions, a mandragora minion, broombushes are all dead because we couldn't log in to water them in time.

Is there any way to get the seeds returned from SE?

Not SE's fault....

Report it to a GM. Not sure if you'll get anything out of it, but worth a shot.

It is. A discussion evolves over time and there is no one absolute when it come to it especially with the forums as long as the discussion still pertains or is related to the subject (in this case PSN being down and the DDoS attacks). No, I do not have an issue with you, rather, I'm merely telling you to not point fingers at anyone. The way you worded your post implies as such. Though, I don't think it was intentional from the looks of it, so apologies if it looks like I'm bashing you. You have a nice day too.

Anyway, it looks like PSN is slowly coming up for a lot of people (not everyone though), so it should probably be back up soon, hopefully.

Is there something that could be done? Not being sarcastic. I'm serious. How do you prevent a DDOS attack, even if you know it's coming?

Pretty much nothing. Unless you magically find out how large the attack is going to be, it's almost impossible. You can attempt to use services that redirect the attacks, but those hackers are not stupid and can find another path to attack the servers. Either that or they improve their attack to the point where it gets too large that their 'improved servers' can't handle it. By the looks of things, the servers should probably be up soon as more and more people seem to be able to get back on. Still trying on mine, but it isn't working. :/

I got on on the PS4 about an hour or two ago. It might be going up and down. Just keep checking, I suppose.
