Is PSN being targeted again? I'm trying to download BlazBlue onto my Vita and the estimated time is 1000+ minutes for a 3.3GB file. I'm sure it isn't my connection since I have a 50down/25up.

"The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"
That's the solution. We all turn off our video games and just play chess!

Looks like the Lizard Squad account has been suspended on Twitter.
Hopefully they were caught and this adolescent war upon gamers is finally over.

looks like Twitch is getting attacked again. All streams are down.
War has changed. Read in monokumas voice for extra despair.

Begun, the hacker wars has.
Doesn't matter; LizardSquad came back under a new Twitter handle. I dunno if these guys will ever be caught, even if they are just a bunch of annoying script kiddies with nothing better to do with their time.

FBI wanted it to be opened?

Either that or Twitter doesn't consider bomb threats a ban worthy incident. To be honest I'd consider both a possible option considering the state of Twitter.
What game is that?

A DDOS is like thousands or even millions of people all logging in at once and overloading the servers, like GAF at E3. It's a traffic constraint based issue. Zero relation to hacking or a breach of security.
Explained more like you was 15 but hey, I'm sure you'll get it from that.
No. DDOS is not a security breach. Think of it this way. Lizard Squad(If they are indeed the ones responsible), are a group of necromancers. They go to a graveyard(the internet) find a bunch of dead bodies(People's computers that are left wide open securitywise), and they raise them from the dead as zombies. These Zombies look like perfectly healthy human beings, however the way they act is a bit... Odd.
Now, with this zombie army, they go into Twitch's theme park. Twitch has 3 ticket lines(equivalent of servers) for customers to go through, which is normally more than enough and it would be unprofitable for them to have more than they need. On this particular day, the Zombies mix in with the customers. They don't plan on buying tickets, instead they just get in line and say "Hi" over and over again to the cashier. Of course, eventually the cashier will realize there's something wrong with that particular customer and kick them along, however there's such a ridiculous number of zombies that the customers that are there legitimately have a lot of trouble getting into the theme park.
You know when that new game that is online only releases at midnight or whatever and everyone slams the fucking servers all at once and almost no one can get in without errors? That is what is basically happening nonstop to these services.
If UG only got it taken down automatically by reporting it for spam, it probably would've been reinstated because it isn't spam.
I just checked...the game is called DEFCON

@UGLegion is saying they'll leak the names of LizardSquad after 50 retweets

All of these people are just looking for attention and followers. Pathetic really. If they wanted to help they would have just released the names.

They're releasing the doxes now: https://twitter.com/UGLegion
Just a bunch of Canadian kids who probably doesn't even understand what they're doing. HOIC is a Darwinian weapon.
EDIT: This is the new guy they doxed: https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Chief Dunno if the kid has anything to do with this, but we'll see soon enough.

This analogy isn't in terms of the methods (which others have described) but in terms of the effect:
It is like parking a car across someone's driveway, as opposed to breaking into their house.
all this shit is so fake.....do these guys even try anymore? Responders on twitch are finding the photos and where they came from in a matter of minutes.....
No Hacker ever requests retweets, followers, and people to reply so many times to do what they want. If UGLegion actually Dox'ed Lizard Group the dude would be instantly hired AND make over 6 figures starting salary. You know how easy they could get a job figuring out something faster than the FBI could?
