An American Airlines flight on its way from Dallas to San Diego Sunday landed safely at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport “due to a security related issue,” azcentral.com has reported. On board was John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment. “This incident follows a prolonged PlayStation Network outage that Sony has blamed on a DDOS attack,” reports gaming site Kotaku.
The “security threat” seems to have been issued by a Twitter account called @LizardSquad, which has been hounding Smedley.

Oh, and “Lizard Squad” also claimed to have been taken over by Anonymous.
Gamers were not impressed.
Update:
A final word from John Smedley:
