How come other companies can recover from DDOS attacks within hours yet it takes Sony days?
I'm getting sick of it - if it ain't maintenance at crucial times it's flippin hackers.

Time to switch the PC on again I guess.

If only they had the resources of google..

Can someone confirm if you can still play games offline?

Yeah you can, that's what I've been doing.

The idiots say they have stopped attacking since kim dot com gave them vouchers or something, and instead they are attacking TOR what ever that is.

Still can't log in though.

It'll take a little while for the servers to recover! IF they have stopped attacking duh

Xbox Live has been working since early this morning. So it shouldn't take that long to recover.

True, hopefully they have, seeing a map of the attacks looks like most are coming from China and attacking the USA now.

I think it is, Saw Anon post a pick on twitter so thought i'd take a look, China and the Usa top the lists with China being the most.

Sony are a flippin HUGE company! - whilst not on the scale of Google they are definately a large company which SHOULD have the resources to deal with a problem of this large a scale.

I bet DDOS attacks ended yesterday and this is just now a failing of the crappy infrastructure having to take the extra load of the new xmas players.

If it was DDOS attackers - im pretty sure they would have been quick to place the blame elsewhere instead of not releasing anything to the public like they are doing now.

Either way - its appalling that they are no able to cope in this day and age of the interwebz. Heads should roll.

LOL if they attack TOR they'll come away with a bloody nose, it'll be script monkeys against the real deal.

 

[zoomee]

No its not - it gives rough idea but not not accurate at all as its setup using honeypots which the data is being collected from.

In reality - USA has the most origin of attacks either to itself or to china, then china to the USA, then the rest of the world joins in lol.

Funniest thing is watching the USA attack itself - its the biggest threat to itself lol

Dont even know what TOR is, but looking at the norse map thing, most attacks against the USA are coming from within the USA now.

I can get into the PS app on my phone now, which I couldn't do yesterday

TOR is the onion network, The Silk Road, that type of thing, most plebs call it the darknet, the people on there and run the websites tend to be real deal when it comes to hacking and high level security. TOR itself was created by a team of experts in the security field to hide their movements from the FBI etc.
