The DERP hacker group, who seem to attack different gaming servers for no reason other than ‘fun’, have managed to cause problems for PSN when targetting the servers for Planetside 2. As a result DC Universe Online is apparently down, and people are reporting problems with PSN.
This doesn’t appear to be an actual hack where the group is mining for personal data, but instead DDoS attacks crippling the service. At the minute I’ve personally managed to sign in but there have been reports on Twitter and other sites.
We’ll keep an eye on the situation and update if the problem escalates.

I can’t put into words how much I detest these “hackers”. Massive pillocks will have to do.

They don’t do it for nothing,people are paying them to do it for them. You can request them to take down anything you like,if you pay they will, just look them up on twitter you will clearly see they say “we take requests” and have a contact number :/

If they’re making money from it hopefully it won’t be long till the feds are onto them.

Yeah buddy it’s getting bad I mean why not attack pedo sites or sex offender sites what people hate, but no they disrupt gaming servers and most of there 48k followers are gamer’s but if they are on xbox they request to bring sony servers down. They gained 30k+ followers after they took down LOL I follow them as the saying “goes keep your friends close but enemies even closer”. It’s sad imho

They also use free wifi from various fast food places so always different IP addresses. The FEDS have even walked in on them after tracing the IP to the fastfood place but they just walked straight past them as they entered. Apparently they dress in suits as the feds never look for criminals in suits, that was there words to a T
Andrewww
If destroying the fun of others is the fun they have in their lives, they’re just really very sad people.
JR.
I wish someone would hack them. To bits.
shane12
Agree totally there is another saying “no matter how big you are there’s always someone bigger” There’s a guy called jester world famous hacker (even has his laptop in the national spy museum)but does good things and try’s to help out sites by showing security flaws in their systems, we need more people like him imo.

Nothing short of criminals. At least Lulzsec/AnonOps usually have a grain of moral justification to what they’re doing.

Some people just need to get laid! Let’s hope that fellow prisoners can help release their frustration once they are caught!

Nice little bit of reading here about DERP and the guy is right not sure if I can post links or not but will try http://imageshack.com/a/img809/2991/qej9.jpg

I can’t go through that link through via linkinspector Vita android so a really big handbrake turn there. Already suspicious about links from newbies, sorry.
shane12
No problem I have no reason to show a fake link but I don’t blame you for being wary. If you like just go to twitter and type in DERP TROLLING it will show you this and more on twitter, then you don’t need to be worried about anything do you.
shane12
It’s an image by the way, a copy of what a guy has said about DERP have you never heard of imageshack it’s well known?
shane12
I would also advise using some better detection programs as yours obviously doesn’t work. Sorry you’re paranoid about an image lmao, never heard such nonsense before to be honest. imageshack omg heard it all now. I also don’t like to be semi accused of putting fake links up sorry and if I was a hacker I could make my stats say I have been here for years and not a “newbie” as you put it, use your brain ffs.
shane12
Try this link it’s to their twitter see if you program can inspect this if not you really have something wrong with your software. https://twitter.com/DerpTrolling

Also Vita was ment as via.

I do apologize to you as I did overreact, I can see that now and I can understand now what you meant. I thought you was some little kid implying I was iffy and trying to give out viruses,but after reading you latest post I completely understand your concerns and agree with them, as I said I do apologize that was my bad. I also have a 14 year old daughter myself so can relate to that. I just wanted to let you guys know what was happening and I also thought I was also being trolled because I was new. You seem a very respectful person and I really do feel bad now for what I said but I can’t remove anything other wise I would have removed that link for you but can’t. I have had a few family issues this week so am a little over stressed to say the least(no excuse I know). I hope you can accept my apology as I am also admin on other forums and don’t normally react like that but people know me on there and know all I do is try to help people out if I can. God strike me down now if I am lying but I would never post any viruses or stuff like that my laptop is filled with some of the best protection around and any person who does that in my books is scum. I am sorry I was out of order and I see that now. Hopefully we can put this behind us :)

It’s ok apology accepted I didn’t get offended. It would take a lot more than that to offend me. Welcome to the site hope you. Have fun on here because I believe this to be the best site on the web, as we don’t like fanboys or trolls on here.
shane12
Thank you accepting my apology and the welcome, I really do appreciate that and I’m glad I never offended you :). That so called “hacking” group took down xbox live last night was off for a few hours. Judging from the posts on their twitter they are using some very very powerful programs to knock off these servers. There has also been a trojan keylogger installed on the LOL server and they can’t trace it with any known Antivirus until it goes active (LOL have said this themselves). My fear now is, if they can do that on LOL they will most likely be able to implement it into anything else they take down. I wont link but if you google “league of legends trojan found” scroll down to the 2 day old article you will see it. This is a direct paste of the 1st paragraph= A recent blue post on the Battle.net forums has some worrying news for World of Warcraft players. It appears that a trojan is circulating that steals both account information and authenticator password at the time the player enters them. This allows the account to be compromised.
Just a heads up for any PC gamer’s who may have been compromised :(

Calm down. He only said he didn’t trust the link no need to fly off the handle like that. There was nothing personal or malicious in it.
shane12
No he actually implied it was a dodgy/unsafe link can you not read? Are you serious “nothing personal” omg what forum is this. He said “I can’t go through that link through via linkinspector Vita android “SO A REALLY BIG HANDBRAKE TURN THERE”. Already suspicious about links from newbies, sorry” Implying that the link is not safe hence the “LINK SCANNER PART”, and not to be trusted. If you’re to stupid to realize that SORRY but I am not, I wish I never even posted it to be honest, I was only trying to show you people what was going on, but don’t worry I wont do that again. I will not warn or help again(which was my whole intention that’s why I joined here my bad) so when you can’t log into to whatever game server you’re playing, you can just check sonys fake server status instead(look for the always green light lol). Some of us have standards and don’t like accusations, maybe you do but I don’t, and putting “sorry” at the end does not make it any less personal (more patronizing in my case). I was well within my right to be offended, so how can YOU tell ME what is offensive and whats not? it’s ME not YOU, and I found it offensive,bottom line, so I bid you a good day.
PS no offence meant sorry
matthangzhou
But you are too stupid to know the difference between “to” and “too” ironically.
DividSmythe
Look at the bigger picture here, sorry after all if caused offence non-intended. I’m professional person. I have to back away from from links that maybe has to things like images or links that may put hidden viruses on any devices which I have, I do have young children around me most of the time. I have to higher and lower my defences at time. I will not use party chat for such reasons.
I’m not making personal accusations here. I can’t, I don’t know you. So don’t be offended by me.
shane12
Look out a grammar nazi, is that all you could find I spelled too as to, could have put 2 makes no difference really does it, this is the net lol not work or school. As a side note this conversation was nothing to do with you, so no idea why you even butted in, as you can see the guy in question can speak for himself perfectly fine and I have already stated just that I overreacted and have apologized (which I really do mean)
PS trust me I am not stupid, maybe stressed but 100% not stupid ;)
