Due to a DDoS attack, the Playstation Network was not available for several hours on the network. As Sony announced in the official Playstation blog, the Onlinedienst now works however again disturbed. Moreover, there is no evidence that a break in the network took place and unauthorized access to user data was possible.
In 2011, Sony had already struggled with a massive attack, which had led to a lengthy shutdown of the Playstation Network. At that time, hackers had managed to capture sensitive users, including their credit card information.
Lesetipp: Sony pays compensation for PSN attack
Apparently, in order not to attract even more displeasure among the users, originally maintenance work for the PSN announced today was postponed indefinitely.
Again and again, Sony and its Playstation Network are targeted by hackers, whose attacks seem to become increasingly malicious. So, yesterday, next to the PSN hack, another drastic incident occurred: Due to a bombing, an American Airlines pilot had to deviate from his course from Dallas / Fort Worth to San Diego and to be diverted to Phoenix. However, the machine was able to continue flying after a search of the luggage.
The previous threat was directly against Sony's online entertainment CEO John Smedley, who was in this machine. He said about Twitter about the events
The bombing was also done via Twitter. On the basis of the terrorism suspicion, the FBI has now begun the investigation.
Yes. My plane was diverted. Not going to discuss more than that. Justice will find these guys.
