Earlier we reported that a hacker group named Lizard Squad had DDOSed the PlayStation Network, well, looks like it was true after all. Sony’s John Smedley has tweeted that it was indeed a DDOS attack, and has said that it was a “large scale attack”.

PSN seems to be up for some people but for most it says “undergoing scheduled maintenance”. They have not given any ETA of when the service will be up, but since they now are working to restore service, it probably should be up soon.

Earlier Sony had announced that a scheduled maintenance will be held on August 25th, and they may or may not go through with that due to this issue today.

If your PS4 is set to primary system you should have no problems in playing your games offline.
