---------------------------------------------------- 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.
Perhaps the PSN network is just having a bit of a nap, but global problems in logging into the online gaming network have given rise to speculation that it is due either to a DDoS or hacking from a group trying to get Sony to abandon its court fight against PS3 modders.
