Original story: Several gaming servers have been at the receiving end of DDoS attacks over the past several hours. Blizzard's Battle.net servers, Riot's League of Legends, Grinding Gear Games' Path of Exile, and PlayStation Network are among those under attack by a group of hackers calling themselves Lizard Squad.
Several tweets have gone up throughout Saturday evening, in which Lizard Squad has taken responsibility for the attacks. The group started with Blizzard's servers that include Hearthstone, Diablo 3, World of Warcraft and others. The group quickly spread to League of Legends and Path of Exile before deciding to spread their terror to PlayStation Network. The latter's outage is not related to the scheduled maintenance set to begin Monday morning.
The situation is ongoing, as the various staffs work hard to get the servers active again.

To show off :p
From the looks of things they are saying it due to holes in the network which all networks have due the nature of DDoS attacks.

Sony uses a range of servers not just one server
Global network after all, makes no sense to have just one data center.
The picture posted above looks to be a small part of the PSN network most likely CDN and not login server.
I don't know much but from the tweets looks like they went after something connected to PSN over the servers blocking up the routes taken.
