I know some of you are video game fans and have PS4s since I lurk this part of the section from time to time. Obviously PSN has been down all day and the reason is because a group that calls themselves Lizard Squad has DDOSed the system. That is all fine and dandy since it seems like they have nothing better to do with there lives then hack companies (They also hacked Blizzard, Riots league of Legends among others and did take down some of Xbox Live).
What you guys may not know, though, is that this group when they found out the president of Sony was flying out to Cali today, prompted them to grab even more attention to themselves and tweeted out a bomb scare on the plane the president of Sony was going to be taking. Of course this caused panic and John Smedley (the president) even publicly tweeted that this act of terrorism caused his flight to divert. I'm just interested to hear your thoughts and opinions on this part? Hacking is one thing, but terrorism is on a whole different level and this just furthers bring down our country in my view. It is extremely low for anyone to do this no matter the reason.
Anyway here is the link if you want to read up on the article. Just curious to see what you guys even if you arent gamers, thought.

Edit: I should clarify originally it was reported that the Lizard Squad who took credit for the DDosing of PSN. But then someone else came out under some Twitter name as FamedGod who says he did it. Regardless, Lizard Squad did the bomb threat garbage.
