From what I've read in /r/PS4, Lizard Squad, a group of hackers have DDOS'd PSN. This group of hackers is notorious for disrupting and causing havoc on game servers, and are responsible for causing havoc on games like LoL, CS: GO, and Dota 2. They also took down the popular online MMO, WoW last night. Games installed can still be played, but i'm unsure if disc based games can. Your thoughts on this?

I'm bummed, had a Diablo 3 date on PS4 with some buddies from other states scheduled for today. I don't get the point of this, either.

Skynet should send back T-800s to give these people hugs when they were growing up.

I literally just bought a PS4 yesterday so this was a nuisance. I was able to install The Show though without problems today. Just couldn't get the roster updates obviously.

These guys are a bunch of morons. DDoS is one thing and it may be a very petty, stupid thing but tweeting a bomb threat on the plane that had the president of SOE is taking things entirely too far. Can't wait til the FBI comes knocking on their doors.

First Microsoft bricks my Xbox and then Sony's network goes down right when I wanted to redownload a game to play. I am not having a good week for gaming, lol.

I guess that explains why I couldn't get on last night.

Now it's being reported that this was actually done by Anonymous and the guy from Lizard Squad is just taking credit for it which makes the tweet to American Airlines that much more stupid.

Hackers need to get a life. If you're using your time on this planet solely to cause disruption and be an inconvenience to other people then you're not using your time wisely. This is not to say that people who game a lot are wasting their time, far from it. They're doing something that they enjoy and doesn't hurt anyone. Hackers only exist to cause problems for others. Taking down PSN earns them no money or useful life experience so I just don't get why you'd want to do it. Be nice to people you freaking assclowns.

This guy probably lives off of the money he gets from hacking and fishing. |

Most hacking teams either do it for money, or to prove some farfetched point like whenever Anonymous does something. All the "Lizard Squad" is doing is overloading the servers of various websites and companies. That's it Sometimes they break and need to be repaired but other then that they're just doing it for the lulz. |

Lizard Squad is probably just a group on the hack forums or something along the lines, there are even pictures of some of the members, and they look like teenagers. This big shot anonymous guy is definitely living it big though. |
