Anonymous not involved in Xbox Live downtime, Microsoft responds.
Some people have jumped to the conclusion that Anonymous hacked Xbox live due to their high profile attacks. However, YourAnonNews has reached out on Twitter to clear up the confusion and claims that Anonymous did not take down Xbox Live and they had nothing to do with the service being offline for so long.

"XBOX Live was NOT hacked by Anonymous."
a Microsoft representative informed gameinformer that the outage was due to routine maintenance. Some individuals had claimed that hacking brought the service down yesterday. Microsoft assures us that this is false.

ME0WUndisclosed I think it's a little ridiculous on how they claim every crash or downtime. I'm glad they didn't take credit for this
They take credit for things they do?
maybe they didnt do that?
