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. -----------------------------------------------------

I was looking at this earlier and came to the conclusion that it was self inflicted. I've got no idea what the actual issue is, but the usual suspects didn't appear to be involved. -wil

Would not be the first time that these outages happened and were decided to be not operationally relevent.... I checked some graphs (my department doesnt use it, but a lot of others do), and sure enough everything PSN related started to drop off at 6am UTC today. A few weeks? ago they were under heavy attack from a hackers group causing similar issues. Those, too, were not reported here. ;-) wii, xb360. and nonconsole graphs look good, though, so you have a direction you can recommend for your customers. :-) -- david raistrick http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html drais@icantclick.org http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
