Kim Dotcom Makes Deal with LizardSquad to stop attacks towards Xbox Live and PSN

4.6

All of you who just got your Xbox One or PlayStation 4 for Christmas can now connect to Xbox Live or PSN. The recent DDoS attacks from Lizard Squad have taken the services offline, but have since stopped

The founder of Mega tweeted Lizard Squad asking them to stop the attacks in exchange to give their entire crew 3000 Mega lifetime premium vouchers.

Dotcom was the founder of the now Shut down Megaupload. Dotcom is also an eager gamer once ranked number one on Modern Warfare 3 before the raid on his home.

Tweets sent out from Kim DotCom and Lizard Squad:

Hi @LizardMafia, I want to play #Destiny on XBOX Live. I'll give your entire crew Mega lifetime premium vouchers if you let us play. Cool?

Oh this is the worst thing I'v seen. They decide to 'hack' probably one of the most joyful days of the year and stop actual children doing what they like, because they don't have their own families to see since they're all sad pathetic people...and now we reward these people. Nice going human race.

I have always loved Kim Dotcom. He is really nice and everyone should go watch the documentary on him and megaupload when the FBI raided his house. Truly a unique man!
