PSN outage due to 'external intrusion'

4.8
You might have guessed this already, but it's no simple error that's been keeping the PSN down over the last few days, forcing us into productive activities (like writing this) instead of playing multiplayer Spelunker HD. Sony finally came forward on the PlayStation Blog and admitted that "An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services." Sony says it turned off PSN and Qriocity services on Wednesday to investigate this "intrusion" further.

If this is the work of "Anonymous" members, they failed to read their own nebulous organization's press release -- Anonymous supposedly backed off from PSN attacks in early April. It's entirely possible, however, the latest hackers are members of no group other than the loose worldwide confederation of jerks.

ExiiL3DxJTAGGER annonamous sounds cool but they really arent and i dont care if io spelled it right

Alot of people looked up to them. Until they attacked sony.


Shouldn't they be looked up at more, what theyere sticking up for is right. Just because you dont get to play your bit of cod, doesnt mean their point isnt valid.
