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?

Never heard of him but if the attacks stop then he's pretty cool. I'm sure FinestSquad will try to take the credit though.
