    [PS4] PlayStation Network taken offline by DDoS attack

    I haven't tried to get online this morning. Has this impacted anybody else?

    PlayStation Network was unavailable Sunday morning due to a denial-of-service, commonly referred to as DDoS, attack.

    Sony President of Online Entertainment John Smedley confirmed the attack via Twitter. The official PlayStation Twitter feed also tweeted out they were aware of the issue and were working to get things up and running.

    The network was partially restored for some users by 10 am PT, with services like Netflix available for streaming. However, when trying to access the PlayStation Store, a message read that it is currently undergoing maintenance. Sony previously announced that the PlayStation Network will be down tomorrow for scheduled maintenance. It's unclear right now whether the maintenance has started earlier than expected.

      SOE president's plane also had to be diverted b/c these douches reported a bomb threat.

                  The game was supposed to start downloading today for Tuesday midnight. Now, no Madden.

                          I'm pretty sure that PSN will be back up in time for your game to download before tomorrow might at midnight.

                              Not the same thing. This wasn't a hack.

                                  What was it?

                                  Walking Dead finale comes out on Tuesday as well... Not a good time for PSN to be down. Also the day one updates and roster stuff for madden.

                                      They basically overload the service so it stops working.

                                                      Apparently they hit the Blizzard servers too so this isn't just targeted at PSN, or now Live.

                                                      These idiots need to get a fucking job. Get out of your mom's basement losers.
