is the PSN network down?

Post by **Hoos** » Wed May 04, 2011 7:24 pm

There were 3 attacks on Sony. One was the DDOS attack done by Anon.

A second was an intrusion on the SOE server. I don't know much about what that is but I think it has to do with MMO gaming. After that attack a text file was found on one of the SOE servers that was titled "Anonymous" and inside it said "We are Legion", which is one of Anon's tag lines.

I said that file is meaningless because it certainly doesn't mean Anon did that 2nd attack. Stealing info isn't their style. It could be them or it just could have been a plant. So, it's meaningless in my opinion.

The 3rd attack was, of course, the one we all know about.

I must've missed the 3rd one... I mean I know it's down... but who brought it down? Anon? Do we know?

Nobody knows who did it.

Important Step for Service Restoration

+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media

Today our global network and security teams at Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment began the final stages of internal testing of the new system, an important step towards restoring PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.

As previously mentioned, we’ve been working around the clock to rebuild the network and enhance protections of your personal data. It’s our top priority to ensure your data is safe when you begin using the services again.

We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress. We will provide additional updates as soon as we can.

Working around the clock, could they not find another fucking term? that shit is irritating as fuck now.

Last weekend, Sony Computer Entertainment announced that we will provide complimentary enrollment in an identity theft protection program. Here are the details of this program for PlayStation Network and Qriocity account holders in the United States only. We are working to make similar programs available in other countries/territories where applicable. Information will be posted on local websites/blogs when available.

Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment International have made arrangements with Debix, Inc., one of the industry’s most reputable identity protection firms, to offer AllClear ID Plus at no cost to PlayStation Network and Qriocity account holders for 12 months from the time an account holder registers for the program.

Please note that we will start sending out activation emails for this program over the next few days, and you will have until June 18th to sign-up and redeem your code. You will need to sign up directly through AllClearID, not on Sony’s websites, and details, including step-by-step instructions for the program, will be emailed to United States PSN and Qriocity Account holders soon.

The details of the program include, but are not limited to:

Cyber monitoring and surveillance of the Internet to detect exposure of an AllClear ID Plus customer’s personal information, including monitoring of criminal web sites and data recovered by law enforcement. If his/her personal information is found, the customer will be alerted by phone and/or email and will be provided advice and support regarding protective steps to take. The customer will also receive monthly identity status reports. Debix works with an alliance of cyber-crime experts from the government, academia and industry to provide these services.
Priority access to licensed private investigators and identity restoration specialists. If an AllClear ID Plus customer receives an alert, or otherwise suspects that he/she may be the victim of identity theft, the customer can speak directly, on a priority basis, with an on-staff licensed private investigator, who will conduct a comprehensive inquiry. In the case of an identity theft, the customer can work with an identity restoration specialist to contact creditors and others, and take necessary steps to restore the customer’s identity.
A $1 million identity theft insurance policy per user to provide additional protection in the event that an AllClear ID Plus customer becomes a victim of identity theft. This insurance would provide financial relief of up to $1 million for covered identity restoration costs, legal defense expenses, and lost wages that occur within 12 months after the stolen identity event.

More information will be available on the enrollment page, a link which will be included in the email you will receive.

We continue to work around the clock to have some PlayStation Network services and Qriocity services restored, and will be providing you specific details shortly.

I hope these motherfuckers' monitors explode. I'm sick and tired of these fucking hackers. "hey I've got an Idea let's try to take down the one area of the world where we can needed so we can go back to getting swirlies and wedgies and being ridiculed on a daily basis." I've got news for these fuckers, if/when the internets come crashing down as the world falls into chaos, they will be the first fuckers getting ass raped and their houses pillaged by leather clad post-apocalyptian barbarian hordes.

funny story, i was at work and this guy who works asian markets shows up. i go "what the hell are you doing here so early?" (he usually works 3pm -11pm) he goes "i have a meeting and the japanese markets are closed for some kids day today" i told him "shit they better get their asses back to work and get that ps3 network up n running" . he looked at me with a stare and i assuming he is going to ask what is the hell im talking about, he replies " no shit ,its been a tough 2 weeks around the house" here i find out the guy is a shooter freak and plays the ps3 like crazy. he even told me he brings it in to work to play at night sometimes. weird how shit happens when you least expect it.
