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.

Lizard Squad is a bunch of virgin children who think they're cool for "hacking".. Oh wait, DDoSing..

Peas Lizard squad are doing you guys a favour , it could of been much worse if someone actually intended to do something bad.


Their doing us a favor? To me it seems childish. Yes, every company has its flaws, but they are not doing this to help the companies, they are doing it for publicity, otherwise why brag and gloat about it all over twitter? Do I care that they are DDoSing Xbox and PSN? Not really because I am mainly a PC gamer. Beside that point, what other reason would they DDoS them for other than publicity?
