Hackers Claim PlayStation Network Take-Down

Posted by timothy on from the so-sony-takes-the-credit? dept.

This morning, Sony's PlayStation network was knocked offline for North American users. According to ShackNews, Several tweets have gone up throughout Saturday evening, in which Lizard Squad has taken responsibility for the attacks. The group started with Blizzard's servers that include Hearthstone, Diablo 3, World of Warcraft and others. The group quickly spread to League of Legends and Path of Exile before deciding to spread their terror to PlayStation Network. Sony apparently had some trouble admitting that the network wasn't behaving as it should be, but came around with acknowledgment on twitter.

    Get raped, faggot.

    Well now. That's no way for an executive of Sony to act, especially the CIO.
