Yes its true Lizard Squad has strike again and this time nocked down both leading gaming systems.

-takes glasses off and puts my hands on my face for frustration-

What is this world going in to D;

Some people know and don't know why there doing this but for the people who don't know is because lizard wants to do this just because they blame sony and xbox for not making enough money so this is there punishment. kicking there users off the network and nocking out the servers.

On december after christmas when everyone got there new games and systems lizard attacked us and been doing this for the whole christmas break and now there doing this again! even the hacking group Anonymous is tired of there bull crap Look!

On the Forbes article:

"Update: People on Twitter are reporting that they?ve been able to sign back in."

So, you know...

Ik but this has been going on for a while now
Something that lizard didn't like with Sony or Xbox so they ddos them
Then it gose on the news and it stops
Several months later or a few it happened again.

It's really annoying about why there doing this.
It makes me feel like i should go back to pc gaming than console.

From what I got out of it before, Lizard Squad is telling Sony to learn to protect again these kind of things. How? If you think you know how, get a job working there. Because I really doubt they know how to protect against a DDoS attack themselves. It's just a bunch of kids who think they know everything. Someone recently posted an article on reddit with an analogy to DDoS attacks. Here.

Even if you make a company make look bad, it's not going to just affect the company but the consumers that use it. All you are doing is hurting the customer while Sony continues to earn their millions :\

DDOS attacks are extremely hard to avoid, even with good servers.

yea.. there's not a whole lot to be done about it till after the fact. Lizard squad is just a bunch of losers that like to call themselves hackers when all they do is plug things up by sending loads of data.. not hackers, morons

Wouldn't you have to shut down your servers to defend against a DDOS attack? Because it's just a bunch of users overflowing your servers until they go down.

It would be just as bad as being DDOSed. You cant win.

. yep. best line of defense: shut down your servers

What is kizard squad, I know Anonymous and thats it

Lizard squad is a group of people who ddos servers of there choosing.
they mostly attack sony & big gaming corporations.
but u shouldn't mess with them tho they can easily find ur ip and ram you down till you have to reset ur router for a new ip.

I am pretty sure they attacked Microsoft before but Microsoft had a GOOD disaster recovery plan. I don't know what Sony's disaster recovery plan is, but hopefully they update it :\

Sony dos t even have a disaster plan.

They only have a protection plan for well Idk what it's used for.

They probably do as every company has to have one. Their disaster recovery plan is just so crap, they might as well not even follow it :\

Oh my :o
