Ps3 sign in not working?

[.Shaun,,]

So I go to sign in it says 'you have been signed out of playstation network'. I ask my mate to try and sign in still no joy any ideas on what's going on here? :S

[dbgtz]

Some errors, its on the ps blog. Says it could take 1-2 days to fix. Most likely the hackers who have been targeting sony.

[Oleh]

There is speculation that this is a different hacktivist group than the previous one. A group which disagreed with anonymous's soft aproach

Probably. Anon did say they wouldn't attack PSN as it defeats their whole approach of benefiting everyone.

This happened to me about 2pm this after noon, and by the sounds of it, it's still not working lol. :(

Might go back to my xbox :/ Ps3 always has something going wrong with it :(

Not exactly sonys fault if people decide to attack their network. Well it's assumed to be that as it wasnt planned.

Well at least people don't hack microsoft or have all these down falls. Been a few times were it has been on maintenance and it has been there fault.

I'm sure the network security could be upgraded tenfold if PSN people were made to pay for their service. I've been on Live for almost three years now, never had a problem

[dbgtz]

It's not even a hacker now anyway, its apparently a network error in Japan. Kinda expected this to occur considering.

[.Shaun,,]

Any idea's when its back up?

[Aidenn]

Friend recently spoke to me about this via Msn, apprently it should be down for about 3 days? >.<

[.Shaun,,]

It's been down 3 days already I think O.o

[Zuth]

Wasnt it down on Thursday?

[dbgtz]

started around thursday morning
apparently it is anonymous hacking now as they posted a vid but apparently theyll stop as they realise theyre hurting the consumers. Either theyre lieing or sony is just securing the network again.

[Zuth]

Hope it's back before next week or I'll be really bored!

They've denied hacking this time around (well that was the news this morning).

Then someone mimicked anon then, not really hard but still (they posted a vid with the v for vendetta mask and the roboty voice.

[Korumpa]

Yea I can't get into it apparently they closed it for 5 days :/

Closed or closing?

[smiffy70]

Tbh this is where Sony have a downfall, I read somewhere that until a few days ago they had no idea what happened, the second the PSN goes down they should know why and where it's happened

[Jordan]

Someone on facebook said it was back up, not that I can confirm/care


nvm ******* lying :lll

[Korumpa]

I dunno :l

Huh.. I thought that Sony took it down themselves when they realised there had been a breach etc, although it does seem that Sony are changing their story a lot.

We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.

We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.


Shame it's been down for so long but if it's being attacked by whoever then it's not really surprising, if it's not been/being attacked then Sony has balls'd up somewhere.

[Recursion]

There's been no hacking. Anonymous aren't involved (they aren't going to bring down PSN because it just causes a pain in the ass for consumers) but another group decided they didn't like Anon's soft tactics and are still DDoSing the network.

There's sweet **** all Sony can do about it and it can happen to anyone at any time, even to the Xbox Live network, so don't start that stupid idea.

[N!ck]

I thought the first attack was a DDoS for ~ 1 hour by Anonymous and now this is a network intrusion by a different group and Sony shut the PSN down for security?

But yeah, if it's a large enough DDoS there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it. Xbox Live would be just as vulnerable.

[Zuth]

Anyone got any news on when it's back up?

And i have a feeling sony wont bring it back up until they find out how they got in

[Jssy]

My boyfriend has Ps3 but luckily he has xbox too and so do I :)

[.Shaun,,]

Hope they put it up soon, it's rather annoying you pay like £200+ for the console and you can't go online :/

This is what was said on the official EU Playstation Blog:
