PSN gets DDOS attacked, bomb threats and the FBI manhunt

PSN has been DDOS attacked several times over in the last 24 hours.

Just when you thought that the video game industry couldn´t possibly become much darker that it already is. Yet another dark cloud hovers over the world of Gaming. In fact, two clouds even. The first one concers the fact that PSN has been down for quite some time now.

And that's because someone (LizardSquad) came up with the brilliant idea to DDOS attack the Playstation Network (seriously people, don´t be asshats. Just enjoy the games like everyone else). Then we got cloud number 2, which would be the bomb threat against SOE president John Smedley.

Something which effected American Airlines and the plane that John Smedley travled with. And after that "little" incident, Smedley tweeted this:

"Yes. My plane was diverted. Not going to discuss more than that. Justice will find these guys." - SOE president, John Smedley

So now FBI are on the case.

"The FBI is currently handling the situation at this time. We have no further comment," Sony told GameInformer

And from what i've heard, there´s plenty of other people that's trying to hunt down the people that´s responsible for all this as well (fans, white hats and so on). There´s a lot of things that´s unclear at the moment. But one things for sure, there will be one hell of a digital manhunt for the onese who caused all this damge to Sony.
