Playstation Under Attack Again! (Possible PSN Store Security Breach) - Polidicks

[QUOTE=johan_sm;29374198]Shut up, people are SUFFERING. Dude, there's no psn, people are in real pain right now. Fuck the ones who have real suffering like hunger or cancer, what matters is that no psn = people fucking suffer. Don't you get it? A day without psn for a ps3 user is like a year in hell.[/QUOTE] Calm the fuck down, people don't base how much they're suffering off of starving kids in Africa or people with cancer, they base it off they normally live, and if someone normally lives with being able to play games online then this does actually fucking suck, especially for people like me who just want to play Portal 2 but can't because PSN is down and they can't hook it up to their account.

I'm glad I don't own a PS3.

[QUOTE=Swilly;29382291]He's trolling by the way.[/QUOTE] He's always like this though

I hate my life and I want to die.

Oh how much I wanted to play LBP2 online today but I can't fucking assholes hacking PSN.

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;29383714]He's always like this though[/QUOTE] As soon as you start talking about computers and such he's actually knowledgeable.

Is this shit still down? "1 to 2 days" my ass

I wonder whats taking them so long.

Just got unbanned. New update, adding to OP: As of late (US time) April 23rd, Sony has commented saying that they're "rebuilding our system" which I interpreted as adding/modifying hardware in datacenters to possibly prevent overflow of traffic. Somewhat reassuring in terms of data not being compromised, but that's still unknown. Source: [url]http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/23/latest-update-for-psnqriocity-services/[/url]

I hope they work through the night so I can play Ps3 for once in this 5 day weekend

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;29393133]I hope they work through the night so I can play Ps3 for once in this 5 day weekend[/QUOTE] If they are actually re-routing their massive datacenters to better handle traffic, imagine how much work is involved. If it's not up by tomorrow, instead of getting angry or frustrated, try to put yourself in their shoes and ask if you could do any better.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;29355121]The CFW is just a few applications packaged into the GameOS update file itself, and a modified XML file for the XMB layout to add some buttons here and there. Therefore they are using and redistributing Sonys' OS, giving Sony the right to stop them.[/QUOTE] no no no You see when you download a custom firmware, you don't download a patched version of sony's code. You download the patch. And patch the official version yourself. That you downloaded from sony. All you're downloading is a set of instructions on how to modify the official firmware to make it work like the custom firmware. Is that distributing sony's OS? Sony seem to think so.

I think that Sony should give us something in return for making us wait. Mabey a free game or something?

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;29410628]I think that Sony should give us something in return for making us wait. Mabey a free game or something?[/QUOTE] ehh, unless you pay for PSN+, you're just leeching on a free system

Any updates on the situation?

Nothing except this video I just recently found that I'll add to OP. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldtNivuSxoQ[/media]

I am literally buying a PS3 in less than 24 hours. Things like this make me want to reconsider.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;29417631]I am literally buying a PS3 in less than 24 hours. Things like this make me want to reconsider.[/QUOTE] It's a hostile environment right now. That being said, the PS3 hardware is undeniably the best and is useful for far more than gaming online.

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;29370484] What if Steam goes down one day? :tinfoil: [/QUOTE] What are you talking about? STEAM goes down every day.

[QUOTE=Zombii;29417685]What are you talking about? STEAM goes down every day.[/QUOTE] not for 4 days in a row though

Damn it PSN. Has to go down the down the day my PC dies :frown:

New video was posted by the same dude that made the first video in OP. Adding this to OP as well. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKN-5_jp6LM[/media] Sony has also just stated on their EU twitter that they're looking into getting an ETA on when it will be back up (likely useless and just an attempt to get people to STFU).

How does "anonymous" claim no involvement. There's no real organization to it, its a bunch of random teens with botnets Ddosing companies they disagree with.

what dicks, there is no righteous excuse for this at all sure sony might deserve it but does the customers no obviously not
