Support NeoGAF

[ArtHands]

That’s what happening to the Sony Playstation server now

 

[sono]

At least they don't seem to get hacked anymore.

I haven't seen any explanation for the current outage....

 

[ManaByte]

Sony uses DDoS mitigation services, but none of those services gives total protection.

If this was a DDoS then Xbox would be down too like in 2014.

Why? They can't target Psn alone? It has to be both?

 

[Sooner]

theres enough cheaters on the PSN aswell dont act like its cheater free

Sure the Pacific Ocean has a lot of water, but don't act like that puddle in your front yard doesn't have plenty of water, too.

 

[ManaByte]

Why? They can't target Psn alone? It has to be both?

Also DDoS are easy for people to detect. No one has come out to say this is a DDoS and Sony is silent. It's more like the 2011 hack.

 

[digital_ghost]

Please not i think psn was down for like 2 weeks during that ps3 era debacle.

It was down 3 weeks or 24 days. If that happened now they would loose a ton of money. Imagine not being able to buy digital games for almost a month.

Or an intern pressed the wrong button

 

[vodka-bull]

I wonder what shovelware PoS game we get for free this time if it’s really a hack. Last time we got Dead Nation and Wipeout HD iirc. Oh and an apology for all the user data getting stolen.

 

[ManaByte]

There's no magic button an intern would have access to that would do this.

You'll have a choice of three games:

Destruction All Stars
Forspoken
Foamstars

The 2011 hack was Sony pissing off Anonymous with those lawsuits. But who did they piss off this time?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

playstation peasants coping lol

Fuck off with this shit. Easiest ignore ever.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Is it still down?

 

[cormack12]

 

[TommyCronin6969]

 

[Gaiff]

 

[Goalus]

You pay for online service and it’s down…pathetic

It's for the payers.

 

[Impotaku]

Looks like Sony got confused and used ddos protection on psn users instead.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[ManaByte]

PSN has been down longer than TikTok was.

 

[Judge Magister]

Xbox ports may in fact be Trojan horses.

 

[Boss Mog]

Wouldn't be surprised if this was the work of some degenerate who got canned recently. Where was the "professor" at the time PSN went down?

 

[Elios83]

For me it's up again (app, profile, trophies, store).

 

[cormack12]

I've been painting all day so haven't been stung by this, but have been in the past. Proper pain in the ass when it's your day off too. It is weird, lucky it hasn't happened at a tier 1 launch

 

[tTHANOSs]

For me it's up again (app, profile, trophies, store).

Country?

 

[Elios83]

Country?

Italy

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Italy

Yep, same here

 

[Isa]

Yeah still down, sucks too. I've seen people say its gone up for a little while only to drop service again. I haven't been able to get on at all. Thankfully I'm more a movie guy lately with tons to watch on physical media. I've got games I could play offline but not really interested at the moment. Managed to knock out a few 4K's and Blu Rays last night lol. Also Youtube works still which is nice.

 

[Gamer79]

Been down for 15 hours straight.

Someone got mad their hentai/spam games were taken off the store.

PSN being down sucks & the trolls are having a field day you’d think they’d be busy playing on their preferred platforms instead

 

[dottme]

I starting to think too there's something more going on. The really limited communication and the length of the outage suggest something worst. Best case a degenerate breaks everything internally before leaving. Worst case some hackers got access to a lot of data and they are trying to find how to block them before restoring the service.
In both case, they are probably working hard to make a stupid response and don't pay shit.

They have nothing to play though so here they are

 

[Roman Empire]

This is bad but what makes it worse is the radio silence from Playstation. I think most of the upset people are worried about if this is or not another big hack situation in Sony servers and the lack of communication doesn't help in their favor.

I'll miss some stuff on PS but still have my PC, and that's fine by me. But Sony should give official statements by the hour or so to reassure the customer as this is plainly disrespectful.

Oh, and BTW guys change your passwords when things go back online and remove payment methods if possible and freeze those just in case as if it's another hack you'll be prepared for the worst.

 

[TrippleA345]

 

[Saber]

A copy of Concord???

 

[ElFenomeno]

Yeah I remember they giving us some free games to compensate this. I got Infamous 1 back in the day

I wouldn't expect shit now. During the ps3 era they needed all the good will they could get. Now they're in a dominant market position.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Almost averaging 1 page per hours downtime, we can do better GAF I expect 2 pages per hour

 

[cash_longfellow]

App is up for me in North America. And several of my friends in North America are showing as online. Can’t check console as I’m not home, but looks like it’s rolling back on.

 

[Thief1987]

Will you make a thread about it? I think you haven't made a single thread in the last hour, I'm worried

 

[Quasicat]

In the US. The trophies and friends lists are up and running, but the store and online gaming (Fortnite) is still down. That’s at least a start.

 

[Alebrije]

 

[dottme]

I wonder if we will have stats of Neogaf while PSN was down. I feel the forum is more active now.

 

[reinking]

PSN being down sucks & the trolls are having a field day you’d think they’d be busy playing on their preferred platforms instead

Message boards are their preferred platform.

 

[Shaki12345]

Don't worry friends. Sony will recognize the issue soon and will compensate you with 50 PlayStation Stars.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Full expecting "PSN is down" thread from him any minute.

 

[onQ123]

Did the hackers really just give these guys the install base they wanted?

 

[Gamer79]

I know you are a huge fan and want more content but chilling for now.

I am sure you cannot wait for my next thread. I got fanboys.
