PSN down after suffering DDOS attack
Upon trying to login to PSN, users are greeted with error code "NW-31456-9," which reads "Cannot connect to the server within the time limit."
I got the error code: "NW-31201-7," which simply reads "Cannot connect to the server."
Apparently, it is the result of a DDOS attack by a hacking group known as Lizard Squad. The group admitted to the attack, but didn't really give a reason other than the usual "Sony is a greedy corporation" excuse.
The official Sony PlayStation hasn't confirmed if this is the case, but Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley acknowledged the "large scale DDOS," adding that "it's almost under control now."

Maggardo No wonder I haven't been able to play my PS4 online all day. I've just been wanting to get online and play Warframe, but sadly, I have not been able to.
I just play it on pc

What a bunch of losers, do they really think they're going to achieve anything over than hate?

This group took credit but another group said it was them and gave out the IP's of the Lizard group, honestly Sony might need to step their game up. Sure these kind of attacks suck but maybe SONY can look at this and learn and maybe enhance security for their system.

The Lizard squad was accused of the attack and they began to take credit for it. FamedGod was proven to be behind the attack and showed proof of it on his twitter page. https://twitter.com/search?q=famedgod&src=tyah is his page for twitter..

AR15YellowPony Oh well. Happens to Microsoft a lot more.
No. It does not.
This is false information.
Sony gets hacked far more often that MS does.
AR is right. This has happened to Sony a whole lot more than Microsoft. No I'm not a microsoft fanboy. I play on PC (and I'm not an elitist either).
