Outage of the PlayStation network today sparked unconfirmed rumours that
the downtime may be down to a denial of service attack.

problems in logging into the online gaming network have given rise to
speculation that it is due either to a DDoS or hacking from a group
trying to get Sony to abandon its court fight against PS3 modders.
