[u][b]PSN is HACKED!! Bungie is next?![/b][/u]
http://www.dailydot.com/esports/psn-blizzard-riot-ddos-attack/
Also Blizzard's servers, league of legends, and path of exile have been DDOSed as well.
Hacker group Lizard Squad claims responsibility, also calls in bomb threat to airplane of President of Sony Online Entertainment John Smedley.
American Airlines responded by diverting his flight.
Lizard Squad also claimed it will target Bungie's Destiny servers next month.
[b]UPDATE[/b] - http://n4g.com/news/1572566/lizard-squad-may-not-be-the-ones-responsible-for-psn-ddos-attack
FamedGod has also claimed responsibility for the server attacks.
He has posted the ips of the Lizard Squad members.
He promises Xbox Live will be next.

fu** xbox fu** ps4 and fu** gay hackers have I gone too far?

5 RepliesSure a ddos attack is a considered hacking but, I guess a large number of users on facebook holding F5 at the same time coincidentally are also hackers
-
But why? What could Bungie have done to even deserve a threat like that? Not like a DDoS poses a real problem, but why?

[b]No way psn servers got knocked out again due to lack of stable security?[/b] [spoiler]Never saw that one coming[/spoiler]

a ddos attack isn't a hack, it's clogging a toilet.
-
it's a ddos not a hack, it doesn't give them access to password or customer details. It just disrupts the servers

Edited by Unyielding: 8/26/2014 12:03:10 AMPlaystation fans don't realize that this attack helps them. Sony's greed was what caused them to actually get hacked in 2011. Maybe now after being infiltrated multiple times they'll stop being stubborn and realize that they actually need to invest some money into their online security.

10 RepliesTurns out if was someone named FamedGod. He even grabbed lizard squads ip for taking credit. He said he was the one that did it before, and he did because Sony needs to stop being greedy. It's annoying but they really do need better security or more servers
-
5 RepliesI like how they got Blizzard Servers down, but immediately they were back up because Blizzard aint having none of this shit. Also, blow me XD. You won't get xbox down since the piece of shit is pretty much offline half the time by itself because it's just terrible!

2 RepliesIf I had a dollar for every time the word hack was misused since today...

Edited by Darrus Ralier: 8/25/2014 6:39:02 PMI am banning together a group to stand against LIzard Squad on Bungie. I actually work at schools as a techinical director and these punks decided to install their apps on one of the local school servers. Fortunately,I was able to kill their virus on the school servers that was also killing Sony. One down,100 more to go all around the country. :( Please,fellow gamers,Xbox or PS. Old gen or new gen. Young or old,join me to help fight back against these hackers and show them what for!

Edited by Reign of Bane: 8/25/2014 1:48:07 PMYou could somewhat understand how they hacked PSN the first time as the on-line service was free, you could understand it but at the same time not defend the lacklustre security of Sony. While others seem to learn from their mistakes, Sony do not and now gamers are paying for the privilege to play on PSN this is unforgivable. I play on XBL and PSN, though I have not really played as much on the PSN since the previous attack as my confidence in Sony was affected profoundly by this. Security is a big thing to me, this latest turn of events is most disheartening. I am getting an Xbox One first and I was considering getting a PS4 at some point as I am a multi platform kind of guy. I hope Sony can sort this out for those gamers affected now and to renew confidence as there are a few PS games I was looking forward to playing in the future. Hacking can be good if done in house to check for loopholes in security, this kind of hacking just ruins the gamers experience but these dickheads need to be caught and punished accordingly.

This sounds like something out of Fox News.

Run Bungie, run!!!!!!!!
-
They sealed their fate the moment they issued a bomb threat. Now the government is probably going to step in and take them down. I doubt those poor kids knew what they were getting themselves into.
-
You are the definition of unnecessary media hype.
-
2 RepliesAll these hackers are doing is giving MS, Sony, and the other places that were hit unnecessary stress and more motivation for better security.
-
5 RepliesThese people should use their skills to hunt down murderers, rapists and paedophiles on the Internet, not hacking console servers.
-
Why are Sony allowed a gaming console? It's obvious that they can't protect the information of it's users, or even keep there service running for an extended period of time. What a joke of a company.

8 RepliesThe FBI and National Security are after him. He'll be in some deep trouble before then. Dunno what'll happen though because he's only like 17 I think.

Attacking a company is one thing messing with a plane full of people is another.. kinda stupid...

In this thread:People don't understand that DDOS is not hacking. Malicious attack yes, hack no.
