I really hope Poodlecorp's latest tweet doesn't imply it will be down all summer! :C

Retarded 'hacking groups' like this always end up biting off more than they can chew, anyone remember lulzsec? These people are just a bunch of twats who happen to know how to use computers and they're running around trying to break as much shit as possible, just like lulzsec they'll end up in jail soon enough if the internet mob doesn't hunt them down first.

At least anonymous genuinely tries to go after bad people and doesn't do permanent damage, that much I can at least respect.

They are just a group of morons 'hacking' servers. It is not that hard to DDOS a server, almost everyone can do it with the correct tools and a little programming knowledge. They will probably be busted and a DDOS can be busted just by restarting the servers.

Never heard of poodlecorp. So they are the killers of everybody's fun. 
More like party-pooers.

By the way guys, I have the sneaking suspicion they just targeted EA's servers as well, I've never seen them go down before but I'm now unable to use Origin or get into the Battlefield 4 servers, absolutely nobody seems to be logged in, population is all at 0.

The servers are up.

Thanks, just noticed as well.
