Which Of These Do You Think Is The Most Likely Reason For The PSN Downtime?

Archive: 11 posts


While the Playstation Network is currently undergoing maintenance, speculation is rife as to what or whom is the cause. And since I've wanted have a go at creating a poll on these forums, I see this as an opportunity to do so.

Which Of These Do You Think Is The Most Likely Reason For The PSN Downtime?

1. Steam
2. Anonymous
3. A moment of incompetence from Sony
4. Jesus Christ coming back from the dead to create his first PSN account
5. Other

This is my first (and probably last) attempt at creating a poll. Get voting

None of those. They're improving the security system.2011-04-24 18:48:00

They did mention that they had an external intrusion affecting their servers a couple days ago which would prompt them to improve their security system, so it might be the work of hackers who are not a part of Anonymous. According to the grape vine, the smaller groups probably consisted of people who sided with or were friends of GeoHot. :/ Don't take my word for it though.2011-04-24 19:42:00

Yes, lemur is correct.

Anonymous is the root of the problem though. The quick version is that they were trying to hack PSN, but Sony said that the attacks were just an annoyance, but they assumed the attacks would continue, so they shut down PSN to protect our security, and build a new security system to prevent more intrusions.

So its "Other" and "Anonymous".

And I just want to say Anonymous has some guts to go after Sony, not exactly the best idea though.

They no have the hate of the entire PSN XD

I do believe that's a symptom, not a cause, something like Spartandude said.

Some hackers (Who actually know what they were doing, unlike anonymous) attacked, and thus Sony need to jiggle around the security system.2011-04-24 20:04:00
