Merry Christmas. Xbox LIVE and PSN are down thanks to Lizard Squad

4.3

Did you get a brand new PlayStation 4 or Xbox One for Christmas? That's great and all, and I hoped you thanked Santa, but it looks like you're going to have some problems getting the most out of your brand new console right now.

According to numerous reports, both PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE are both down, suffering from connection issues believed to be related to DDoS attacks from the notorious hacker group Lizard Squad.

Neither Sony nor Microsoft have confirmed the DDoS attacks, but Sony has at least acknowledged the issues with PSN. The PlayStation Support site, however, says PSN is "online," but when we tested it we received error code "NW-31201-7."

Microsoft has finally acknowledged sign-in issues with Xbox LIVE on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

I don't know what they trying to prove but let's just be serious instead of wasting there talent on gaming console. They should use there talent in something else like hacking a bank at least there not going to get popular. Who is going to recognize a gaming squad/hacker ? At least not me !!

I can't connect to XBL on my X1 and this is pissing me off. Whoever is doing this, microsoft needs to take legal action against them.
