PSN And Xbox Live Is Down

[Rondooooooooooo]

Both were hit with a DDos attack by some group of kids who think they are hackers. I guess some people are able to log in, but a vast majority cannot. I feel bad for the kids who just received a new gaming console only to find out they cannot register and play anything

PSN has been down since last night. Xbox was working last night but havent checked today.

I hope they catch these guys its seriously retarded that they **** with the servers.

Forget North Korea, can we please obliterate this Lizard Squad group?

These losers and their bot nets are ****ing with my day to day way more than any Koreans are.

What's weird is I started playing halo 2 at halftime, and I've actually found 2 games about 10 seconds after starting searching.:lol

Its working for me now.

The matchmaking in general? Typically it still takes me about 5 minutes to find a game if I play outside of the halo 2 anniversary mode. Anniversary mode takes like 30 seconds sometimes a few minutes but not that much.

Anything else I'm lucky to find a game. But today! Oh man is it working well!

[Brujesino]

When xbox live worked I played a quick game then thought "well they fixed it i'll play later".

Now it aint working :(

This is highly upsetting.

They single handily ruined Christmas for millions of kids around the world.

[GOBB]

So their goal was to mess with gamers and not gaming companies? I swear I don't get hackers. Should've gave us all a free game or something beneficial to us. Where it costs microsoft and Sony money. After all you're hackers are you not?

[LJJ]

How am I gonna ever get my KD ratio up now? Christmas noob hunting is a yearly tradition.

They didnt really hack anything. Both Xbox live and PSN was hit with a ddos attack, all these kids did was run a premade script through a command prompt which caused extremely high traffic to flood the servers, causing them to shut down.

I read somewhere that rockstar is going to extend the snow and holiday extras due to the outage

[Draz]

They didn't hack anything just overloaded the servers with the help of kids already trying to login. The companies already got paid. Their just dealing with the customers complaints and their egos being hit.
