Today brought more hacker woes for Sony’s PlayStation Network (PSN) and Sony Entertainment Network in the form of a crippling distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack from a vandal collective known as "Lizard Squad.”
In addition, the FBI is investigating the diversion of a flight carrying a top Sony executive amid reports of a claim that explosives were on board. An American Airlines flight carrying Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley from Dallas to San Diego was grounded because of a bomb threat.
Awesome. Flight diverted to Phoenix for security reasons.

It appears that the same group behind the current PlayStation Network outage is responsible for the bomb threat on flight 362, which was safely diverted to Phoenix. The group, in fact, retweeted Smedley’s tweet:
Yes. My plane was diverted. Not going to discuss more than that. Justice will find these guys.
