A PROPER RECAP OF EVENTS SO FAR (sorry for the caps, but just so people see and we don't have a thousand different news reports of random shit):

So a guy by the name of FamedGod (https://twitter.com/FamedGod) DDOS's PSN in the name of proving that Sony has shite security still. Then a group of fools named the Lizard Squad (Edit: Twitter link removed as the account is carrying doxxed info) decide to take credit and take it a step further by threatening that there's a bomb on the American Airlines flight of SOE CEO John Smedley. As a result his flight is rerouted and now sits on the tarmac being inspected (https://twitter.com/j_smedley) Edit: Added Smed's Twitter.

Well Anonymous (https://twitter.com/W0rIdPeace) comes to the aid of PSN and AA, telling people that they're working to get PSN up and assuring AA that there is no bomb on the plane. In the mean time FamedGod finds out that LizardSquad has taken credit for his attack and proceeds to release the IPs of all of Lizard Squads members. Anon then tracks the IP of the Twitter account to Washington, DC and now everyone's just waiting to see what the hell is going to happen. Edit: The update so far is that LS is still tweeting out ISIS flags and Jihad hashtags while the FBI is, ostensibly, monitoring the plane inspection in Phoenix.

I should add that Federal Authorities are now involved because of the bomb threat and the ISIS flag being flown. So there's a group of morons out there who are probably going to be enjoying a steaming hot cup of FBI pretty soon.

UPDATE (before I head off to work): LS's Twitter is replying to people, still taunting Smeds and the FBI, acting as though they're ISIS soldiers doing all this from Iraq. No updates from Smed, Anon or FG. But we do know that the FBI is involved and at some point a lot of people are going to be tracking down LS in connection with what's happened with the AA flight. I'll try and update from work if I can, but I'm sure there's going to be a lot more coming.

Sidenote: So despite media reports to the contrary, Blizzard and Riot appear unaffected.

UPDATE2: Smeds plane was cleared and the planes back on its way after a 3hr bomb check.

UPDATE3: (Thanks to u/PickleSlice) Looks like LS has doxxed FameGod- so the person responsible for today PSN outtage has been revealed, though he seems unconcerned. Edit: Removed link to Doxx, because commonsense and site rules. My bad on that- still posting from work and slipped.

UPDATE4: FameGod is now stating that he didn't do it- which may or may not be true, in the face of Federal Authorities being involved and his personal information being released. (Thanks to u/Kill_Me_For_Money) https://twitter.com/FamedGod/status/503697915999961088

Sidenote: (Thanks to u/Ganoobed) Mainstream media are now picking up on the story: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/american-airlines-flight-to-san-...

UPDATE5: (Shoutout to u/PickleSlice again) So now Unknownsec, a different group, have doxxed Lizard Squad. Mainstream media are paying more attention to the bomb threat (rightfully so, as it's the most severe aspect of todays events) and this all adds up to a lot of Federal Investigators coming down on a lot of "hackers" at the end of this. Some very severe consequences for all involved at Kotaku confirmed earlier in the day by way of SOE that the FBI was involved with all of Sony's problems too.

Sidenote: Apparently looks like Battle.Net is now being hit by Lizard Squad. (https://twitter.com/BlizzardCS)
