Here's an update for anyone in the dark as to what's happening:
The lizard squad attacks have been stopped by another having team called the Finest Squad. Visit lizardsquad.info as that site has been also hacked by finest squad in successful attempt to stop the lizards. They have also been in touch with law enforcement and have puckishly released much information on the personal identity of the lizards
Now to psn: psn was taken down earlier by the request of Sony executives until further notice for various "maintenance" to be performed. Psn is down because they want it to be as of right now; while they investigate, as they say.

Edited by THE RECLAlMER: 12/27/2014 12:29:47 AMFinest didn't stop it. Kim Dotcom did. You can see the conversation and the deal struck between K Dotcom and Lizard squad on their official twitters.

Finest squad did nothing if not help lizard squad...and took all the credit
-
Could you imagine the mayhem if the Ghallajhorn was on sale with all these issues lol

Can anyone get on yet? Canada still down.

Lol here's a message from anonymous to lizardsquad and the finestsquad https://www.youtube.com/embed/8cXoIYut3Y4
-
So it's still down. I shouldn't be so surprised but I am.
-
If Sony really decided to replace Severs on Christmas.... :D
-
It Director here. Seriously doubt Sony is rebuilding anything. They are likely following their security response protocols, and scanning for any breaches. Remember, they literally just had the biggest data breach ever that I'm aware of. They are in full on lock down mode until they're certain this was just a ddos.

Indiana. Just now.

Edited by KnifeOfPi: 12/26/2014 6:25:11 PMSo where does it say that the Sony executives are intentionally keeping the network down again? I still don't see it? Can you just admit that you completely made that part up? Or remove that fictional statement?
-
I find it hard to believe they took their servers down to be replaced on probably the busiest weekend for gaming. I call bullshit on them.
-
Psn should be up around 6pm
-
[quote]Attack is done now maintenance is happening to patch a hole. If you do not understand how large it networks work stop calling bullshit on here. Cisco is having to patch as well as Amazon and many others who run sony's data centers around the world.[/quote] from CrimsonSasquatch

Bitch u guessed it , you is motherblaming right

Edited by LeCard: 12/26/2014 6:24:47 PMIt should be back up later today. Sony is replacing servers. [url]http://gizmodo.com/xbox-live-and-psn-are-still-messed-up-after-attack-by-h-1675282716[/url]

Finest Squad did not stop the attacks. Mega owner Kimdotcom paid off Lizard with premium cloud service subscriptions. Now Sony has servers offline while they repair them to be up later today.
-
So do they have any idea when it will be back online? This is starting to get reductions and annoying.
-
If they are intentionally keeping it down, then why are there still other users able to sign in and play?
-
I appreciate you shedding some actual light on the situation, but this is super frustrating. Sony execs should have better business savvy than this, in my opinion. The outages made their consumer base mad, and now to keep it offline at their leisure while Xbox has been doing its best to go right back up makes Sony look bad.

Where is this statement from Sony?
