Anonymous not involved in Xbox Live downtime, Microsoft responds.

4
Xbox live went down yesterday for quite sometime and nobody could sign into their Xbox live accounts at all and people start getting a bit worried when the Xbox Live service status page does not give you a lot of information and when the outage was quite a large one as the service was down for a few hours.

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.

@YourAnonNews
"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.

So stating facts is being a fanboy? Alright, seems legit.

I did't believe that anonymous was responsible, There was 1 guy who was saying that people were going to be getting disconnected & most people did't get disconnected

Thank god I found this post, now I need to link some people here because they were trying to argue it was anonymous... xbox server's are run from an enclosed network. No body can breach them lol.

Anon couldn't pull it off anyway, it was stupid off people to think they could.

I always thought anonymous did their things for a reason not just to do it.
