Is there any reported login issues. I can't log on to PSN on PS3 and can't connect to game server on PS4
I'd love to know what these guys want out of this situation. Especially on a day and at a time where there are probably less gamers on than usual.
What bothers me is that this is not the 1st time, they do it whenever they want and SOE hasn't done nothing to prevent it. What if they decide to do this sht everyday?
A major change will have to take place and when it does we will likely be without online gaming for quite some time. I'm both and @ that possibility.
We are then in a world of hurt. The only deterrent to this sort of thing is to apply stiff prison penalties when these people are caught. Sadly a THAT is tough because an attack can come from anywhere in the world.
I would be pissed if it weren't for that I haven't been able to play DCUO hardly at all anyways because of frameskipping. Sucks that these clowns are still pulling this crap off. I wonder how Sony is suppose to even defend against these kind of attacks. My understanding of Botnet(s) is extremely limited, but how are they supposed to filter out fake requests from legitimate ones? Especially when these requests to the server are likely coming from infected people's computers who don't even know it's being used to send out the flood requests to the server. Any tech savvy peeps out there with an understanding of this stuff know if it's even possible to defend against this kind attack?
