I'd like to know if Sony is actually putting money into finding those guys. I mean, they're aren't doing anything illegal, I think, but Sony has dudes who can break fingers/kneecaps, I'm sure.

I almost hope lizard squad succeeds at keeping PSN down for 5 days because maybe Sony would actually notice and start caring.

You guys realize LS is based out of Russia, right? There's not much US law enforcement could do about it, even if they cared enough to get involved. It all comes down to Sony and their inability to provide even basic network security, which is hilarious in tyool 2014.

In their earlier days the squad called in a bomb threat to a plane mid flight because a Sony Online Entertainment executive tweeted he was getting on it. One of the members was outed as a 17 year old from Canada when he was caught Swatting .

DDoS attacks are basically impossible to stop while the Internet and general-purpose computing works the way it currently does. Change that, and welcome to x.25net, where the living envy the dead.

Anyone here have a suggestion? Fake edit: I just thought to check the HDMI splitter I had set up to play games on one of my desk monitors.  Of course that was the issue.

At least the games update alright. In fact I've had some really good download speeds today. It's just the login server that got beat bad.

Soul Glo posted:I'd like to know if Sony is actually putting money into finding those guys.  I'm only worried about all the people at work trying to bring back their consoles for repairs in the next week, and having to explain to less clued in people that the console is fine, it's just l337 hax0r fuckwits causing problems. On the upside, holy balls is Dragon Age big and full of random stuff.  It's almost as bad as Skyrim.  'Agh yeah gonna stop the demons and save the wor- Ooo. What does this icon on my minimap mean? And this one.. Or this one?'Much later. 'What was I doing again?'

I don't actually think Sony employs gangsters from the '40s as enforcers. The gently caress is a chummer.

However, I'm pretty sure that if ten million people bought WiiU's the words "this is a good problem" would be heard a whole lot at their HQ and amongst Nintendo fanboys for the month they spend upgrading their server infrastructure to cope with effective DDoS caused by user influx. Hell, even their regular web sites serve at a snail pace as it is.

Do the first few story missions as soon as they're available and finish Act I. You won't lock yourself out of anything, you'll have a full party to play around with, the plot will get a lot more interesting, and you'll open up new customization options for character skills and equipment crafting. Seriously.The huge maps are cool but you will drive yourself crazy if you try and do everything

Hasn't Sony been able to mitigate these things faster in the past? I remember last time PSN got hit it was only down for a couple of hours.Soul Glo posted:I don't actually think Sony employs gangsters from the '40s as enforcers. Pretty sure that whole line was a Shadowrun joke.

Soul Glo posted:I'd like to know if Sony is actually putting money into finding those guys. My gut tells me that even in Russia, causing malicious damage to a company's infrastructure or financial resources is very illegal. And we should probably be glad that for the most part we now live in a world where giant corporations try to solve problems like this legally, instead of the perpetrators getting quietly disappeared permanently.

The Cameo posted:You could just grab the update from the web site, throw it on a USB stick, and actually make the kid's Christmas a little better. Is this a thing I can do? I'm like computer retarded and i have no clue what im doing. My brothers look sad and I just wanna help. so I just gotta hook up a flash drive and grab the update? Isn't there like an initialization process in the beginning and a sign in required or can I just grab the newest update and throw it on so they can just play solo cod or injustice or something? I couldve sworn I had to sign into the network to play the first time but that was a year ago so I can't remember.

They aren't causing damage though, just clogging up the pipes, right? That's the point of a DDoS, it just simulates heavy load without actually hacking anything. But then again I'm no Z3r0 C00L, so

El Hefe posted:They are causing damage though, the store is unavailable costing Sony potential millions of dollars in sales. Yep. Be cool if Sony realized this. Or maybe they just feel like most people who can't access their store today will just wait until tomorrow to buy whatever they were going to since most people don't own two consoles. I got lucky, both games I got were single player and the patches just took a while. It just really sucks for all the kids who finally got their consoles this morning and have been stuck. I still remember my respective Christmas mornings with my SNES, N64 and Dreamcast.

I wish Sony would at least give an update on what is going on. Their Twitter has been quiet for over 9 hours and the PSN is still down. The last time this happened the PSN was down for a month.

More free stuff due to Sony's incompetence to stop teenagers from DDoS'ing their servers.

My dad, who knows nothing about video games, randomly grabbed me Alien: Isolation as a gift to me today. It was a super nice surprise, I've wanted to check it out for months. I was confused how he picked it, though, and asked about it. Apparently, he went to Target looking for a game for me and asked an employee what he'd recommend. The kid was "really dumb looking, yet condescending" and recommended AC: Unity heavily. My dad, wanting to spite him, recognized the Alien brand and got that instead. I have a great dad.
