It the lizard lolling hacker anonny-mouse squadren ginyu force! Their attack at Christmas was a failure because Sony and Microsoft were expecting, but they were not expecting THIS WEEK, they struck, LIKE A BAT!
When Did this happen?(link doesn't work correctly for me) I played on my PS consoles heavily between 1-3 January and I never had any problems signing in. I do live in England playing between mid-day to mid-night.
edit: got the link to work after 10 mins of trying, Not enough info given in the link really.
I think the network is getting hit by a denial of service. However it does also appear the ps4 is hacked to an extent too and apparently it's security is virtually non existent.
Just to confirm.. PSN is now back up and running again now folks:D
Huzzah1 I had one unhappy 3 year old nephew who couldn't play Disney Infinity Last night. Did end up playing Marvel Lego instead. All was well as he still could play as the incredible hulk

Every part of it is experiencing problems
We'll since we are now paying for the service they should refund
What would you like them to refund ?
£40 for the entire years subscription ?
10p for today's subscription ?
A free game because some douchbags attacked them ?
What would they have to give you to make everything ok for this unfortunate incident ?
The PS4 was supposed to be hack proof
Except I am playing Metal Gear Solid and apparently all my cash is store in some online bank >:(
It's the network that has been hacked not the consoles, any network connected to the internet can be hacked in reality.
Has PSN been hacked again or is it just another stupid DDOS attack?
They'd have to if it became a major issue
Nothing is hack proof. Nothing.
*pet peeve*
Think its a ddos again.
How serious are these type of attacks
To the best of my knowledge they're not serious at all, just incredibly frustrating.
The "hacker" basically just overloads the network causing it to crash (I think). No information is stolen or anything like that.

Just annoying more than anything as far as i'm aware there is no risk to the user.
