Hi everyone. Hope you all enjoy this one, sorry it took so long to do another documentary. As always, any support on Patreon is greatly appreciated, and thank you all so much for watching. You're all the best.
Great job as always!
Mystic fantastic documentary Ryan loved it
Thanks for the hard work 👍
Nice video, although too many youtube commercials, keep it real. That outage was during my peak movie downloading days on to my PS3. My brother was laughing at me with his 360 fanboys. I did not have a credit card or any funds on my account so and I wasn't too worried about my info, I just changed all my passwords immediately after.
I didn't feel too offended by this event, especially because Sony handled it mostly professionally.
Xbox on the other hand burned me 3 times with the red ring, it made perfect circles destroying several of my games, low quality 360 controllers that lasted me less than 1 year, and now a crummy exclusive-less generation. It gets harder for me to forgive their mistakes. Especially with those stupid,"oops" error messages.
I enjoyed that alot was really good keep up the great work 👍
Imagine working for Sony's technical support the day it started...
A fucking nightmare
@Wilf 116 I can imagine how fast that person's heart dropped. I wonder how many overtime hours were worked because of the attack.

I swear to god almost every Major security breach is the same story: The company knew of the vulnerability but ignored it.
If only they knew how bad it would affect them...
I swear to god bro the psn security wasn’t either made yet powered yet or was just underpowered against the big hacking groups
I remember when this happened, I was 9 and remembered saying "Ooh free games!".
Didn't know that my dads credit card was in jeopardy. Now infamous is one of my favorite game series
Omg me too. Infamous is actually my #1 fave lol
I’m so glad that back then when I wanted anything I would use psn cards instead of debit/credit cards, if a hack like that happened now I’d lose my shit because I do have some stuff connected

I was playing ps2 that time lol

this is like the one show you can't stop coming back to, it's amazingly well put together
The hack was an adventure which changed the life of BILLIONS of people and most don't even know it!
Luckily I was still playing ps2 in 2011.
Me too and psp
Same lol
I was still playing Nintendo 64 in 2011 😂

But online on PlayStation was free back then

Is that a haiku?
This event is oddly nostalgic for me, what a wild time; I miss these times when this random stuff would happen. PS3/XBOX 360/Wii era was something else man.

no way you just compared 911 to a 21 day outage on playstation

@@carljohnson7168 Right but many people died on 9/11 resulting in a war, where the 21 day outage resulted in gamers not knowing what to do with themselves for a few weeks basically speaking
@@littlej493 yeah that’s true.
Imagine just getting the PS3 and discovering that you can play online with other players only to have the Network get hacked a week or so later...
Yeah, that was me.
Lol, that was almost me since I got my PS3 sometime in early 2011 but didn't decide to make an account until around August
I got my ps3 on December 23rd of 2010 so yes I went through the hack
On my birthday, April 25th 2011, I got a PSP GO which was completely digital which meant I could only download games through the playstation store. Needless to say I was very upset when I found out the network was down and I couldn't get any games for it. It went back to the store 2 days later for a refund. I never bought another Sony product again.
Thats me 😂 Got my ps3 in March 2011
Got it on February 2011, was frustrated with barely time I was playing online before servers went down 😅
Hackers in April: *hacks psn*
Sony: “We are sorry, it won’t happen again.”
Hackers in May: “Want to see me do it again?”

ok didt think i would see you here
i mean, some of the choices were infamous littlebigplanet and wipeout but k lol
Woah infamous is a very good game, so is little big planet.
I remember those days, damm time flies
I lost a friend because of this. I knew someone who was suicidal and I had talked her down multiple times. After the hack, I never saw her log in again and after mourning her for a long time, I kind of accepted that I'd never get closure and unfriended her account. I hated always seeing her PSN ID on my list with the Last Logged In date only getting longer and longer...
I think about her on occasion, praying she didn't actually do anything but... I don't have high hopes anymore.
this makes me sad
I used to play with a friend i met on ps. I played with him almost everyday for 2 years. And one day he logged off and ive never heard from him again.
imagine she logged on and she saw u werent there

Nah it was someone else and Sony had weak a$$ security for the PS3.
It wasn’t Anonymous tho. It’s a guy named Cody Kretsinger.
If is fairly unlikely it is them.
Sony might not be the cleanest company in the planet concerning their products, but at the very least they are responsible enough to take full backlash against their wrong doings and apologize for breaking their promised delivered services. Good job Sony, you genuinely tried your best 👍
I’ll never forget this day my older brother was screaming at the top of his lungs for a whole week cuz he couldn’t play black ops online 😂, meanwhile I was having the time of my life playing on my ps2

Finally it’s not just me I thought it was down for months too
yeh i was 10, it was during school holidays as well, back then two weeks of school holidays felt like an eternity of freedom lmao.

enjoy them kiddo those were some interesting moments for us

That hack was great. It got Little Big Planet & Infamous. Both great games.
Sameeee
both games are so fuckin amazing
Did you have 2 accounts? I only got little big planet and a couple of psp titles.
I downloaded all 5 through various accounts. Never played Wipeout but especially loved Infmaous and playing through Dead Nation with friends
Infamous and infamous 2 were fuckinnnng goood and had replay value too. I played both of those games at least 10 times over each
This didn't really affect me. I'm just glad I got free games out of it lol. It'd be far worse if it happened today
Dude the free games they gave as compensation sucked.
@@HossBonaventureCEO Little Big planet was something I remember as a kid I'm glad they released those games
@@CherryFlavoredAntAss Littlebigplanet was the 4th one in the US. Lbp was almost 3 years old, Infamous was almost 2 yeats old and already had huge price cuts, wipe out was meh, and dead nation was super short.
I didn't even have a PSN account back then. Lucky me. I remember i used to play wayyyy too much Demon's Souls Offline when that happened.
It happened on Xbox in 2015 or 2016 for a week? That was when I just got it.
Back here as a reminder of why I will not be buying Helldivers 2 after I planned to get it to play with friends that already got it
They reversed it, you won't need a PSN anymore.
I’d just got my PS3 hooked up to the internet the day before this happened so the free ps plus was a nice treat for something I never felt I missed out on

Yeah, after it was their asses being put on the line too.
something like this shouldn't have been possible in the first place, DDOS is something anybody can do with a bot network, its a wonder nobody did it earlier.

Maybe Sony shouldn’t have asked for more than they could handle asking for PayPal information? User IPs who watched his RUclips videos? Sony wanted to be Tyrant but forgot that there are people out there that will put them in check.

Sony as a company is so weak, and the fact they still have not spoke out about this speaks volumes. Rockstar immediately got the FBI involved once someone started leaking their GTA 6 footage, embarrassing.

Dude i bought my ps3 at the same time. A day before the outage. And specifically just to play CoD online. I was so pissed when i got home and tried to sign up. I played so much campaign and zombies.

When this was happening, I was chilling on the couch playing on my Xbox 360.
I do not usually leave comments on videos but this was a truly exceptional video and I feel it deserves greater recognition.

wow, must have felt like hell
meanwhile me just chilling with my PS2 not knowing any of this was happening 😂
Funny thing I lost 450$ and missed the welcome pack..

@Nikitos 77 Did you miss the PS3 when the PS3 welcome pack happened because you weren’t on the PS3? Or did you not get the PS3 welcome pack even when it came out?
I also didn't get the welcome back pack, because when I had originally created my psn account, I had mistyped one character in my email. And so, I was always using an email address I never had access to
Only realized it after 1 month of frustration of not being able to play online, when I had to reset the password. And of course I also lost all the trophies and stuff. Ahhhhh good old days!

I was only 8 at the time, and I'm pretty sure I got my PS3 a couple weeks after all this had settled down, but even I vaguely remember hearing about this while my family watched the news. Never knew PSN was down for so long though, I think I always imagined in my mind that it was closer to a week. Very interesting to learn about.
It probably says something to how rapidly the internet was growing at this time that this was such a massive deal. Back in 2008 or so it probably wouldn't be quite so big yet still a big deal. Nowadays though, something like this seems insanely unthinkable. Gaming and online are almost completely intertwined now, and thinking of something like fortnite being offline for 23 days seems insane. There would be riots.

Glad I was on GameCube during this time!
I was on the Nintendo Wii 😂
Lol I had all those but my ps was the best
Good Console!
I was a Wii and 360 person around that time
I was on PSP.
I remember when the Playstation Network went down... I was like "Oh well, nevermind!" I've NEVER EVER used the PS online Network when playing games. Just doesn't appeal to me whatsoever even now, I must be the odd one out here!?!
10 years later:PS4 PSP PS5 PS3 gets hacked
PSP was completely broken way before iirc
Kutaragi was so far ahead of the ball. It is such a shame the old guard at Sony were/are so blind. He had the vision to create an iOS/Android like environment almost a decade before anyone else. The old guard were clueless about the web. This whole thing could have been avoided if they would have listened to Ken.
My 10 year old playing on the wii not knowing what online even was

I remember this being in highschool. Boored to death having to go out and socialize. It was traumatic.
However it did make me play solo... And reach the highest cod zombies level I've ever had

It was never about the addresses... It was about the poor security and Sony being arrogant AF back then.
I got my ps3 in 2013, I was 9 years old. I knew about this story because a lot of my older friend told me about this. A lot of people were scared, others were annoyed and some of them took time to play solo games they haven't finished back in the days because of online play with GTA, black ops and Playstation Home (R.I.P we miss you). I'll always remember some of them telling me it was the worst period of ps3

I remember trying to boot up just some casual Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies after school with some friends and just being unable to. Luckily, back then co-op wasn’t completely dead and forgotten about, and we ended up just playing split screen at each other’s houses.
Sorta Same, not with school friends but just online in general. Ascension just came out too., and had to play it offline lmao. Rough times they were.
