---------------------------------------------------- PSN gaming network outage sparks DDoS rumours Alert Print Post comment Retweet Facebook PS3 modder counterstrike to blame? By John Leyden • Get more from this author Posted in Enterprise Security, 21st April 2011 08:57 GMT Free whitepaper – The realities of SaaS and security Outage of the PlayStation network today sparked unconfirmed rumours that the downtime may be down to a denial of service attack.
