Hackers claim responsibility for Pokémon Go DDoS attack
Talking to TechCrunch, a member of the group said that they were part of a trio of teenagers that uses these incidents to advertise their ‘security services’ and make people more aware of security issues.
“We don’t want other hackers attack their servers, so we should protect their servers,” the member said.
Apparently a message on their website says that they wouldn’t stop the attack until they were contacted by representatives from Niantic.
Another group called PoodleCorp also claimed responsibilty for the servers going down on their Twitter account.
The app has been crashing and experiencing server issues since release, so it’s entirely possible that it wasn’t a DDoS attack, but simply launch issues.

I love when multiple groups claim responsibility, when in all reality, it could just be server launch issues. We'll see if it was PoodleCorp if they go through with their threat to hold them offline for 24 hours lol
