PSN gets knocked down again
PSN suffered an outage for the majority of Sunday thanks to an apparent DDoS attack (distributed denial of service). Sony noted that no personal information was accessed in the attack. Both PSN and Sony Entertainment Network were "impacted by an attempt to overwhelm our network with artificially high traffic," though it's unclear if that's also causing today's issues. We'll update this post when PSN is up and running again.
Update: Sony said that "network connectivity is being restored," and thanks players for their patience.

This is just plain dumb now. I don't understand why someone enjoys causing annoyance towards millions of people who have no effect on their lives.

Urf This thread = bunch of idiots who have no idea what DDoSing is and how hard it is to circumvent it. Typical TTG users
Static IPs stop this from happening as well as letting your ISP know that you (or Sony in this case) is being DoS attacked. They have the power through servers and things along that nature to stop this kind of thing from happening.
Not everyone on this thread is an "idiot" as you say.
Shooting your opinion out there as if it is fact makes you sound like the idiot.

Wow, you realise how good Microsoft's security is when it happens to Sony so much, and it barely ever happens to Microsoft. And even when it does, it's nothing like it is with Sony...
