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."

I used to be like "Yeah go hackers!" when stuff like this happened. But now I'm sitting here thinking about how stupid that group is and how they should go use their skills for something more productive rather than bringing down a service that many gamers use. Sure they don't like Sony and for good reasons, but taking down the network affects the gamers more than the company in my opinion. They still make money.

SreyoAR15InqAR15YellowPony 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.
I totally agree a few years ago psn was down for months
That is very true! I actually remember when all that was going on the first time around for Sony!
Yea and I'm pretty sure if it happened to Xbox, Microsoft would get on it almost immediately instead of waiting a whole day.
MS can barely be affected by these lizard guys.
