Xbox Live Status Currently Down And Limited

4.5
Microsoft is reporting problems with its login servers across all Xbox devices.

Users are reporting issues signing in to the service, while browsing the online stores is also proving problematic for some.

According to Paradiger a new hacker group calling themselves “TeamBudyBear” have been claiming on their twitter account to have taken down Xbox Live.

They said:

“We’re doing these attacks to show everyone how bad big company’s care about security. We as teenagers know how to fix their servers. Pathetic.”

It looks like they’re taking down Xbox Live to prove a point. This is a similar reason as to why Lizard Squad did what they did last year.

Never effected me but even though it went down for some it wasnt even for that long.

People do not realize how much it costs to keep these attacks at a down low. Their will never ever be a way of completely preventing attacks due the amount off skills that are available to this modern day of life.

RIAA Were doing these attacks to show everyone how bad big companys care about security. We as teenagers know how to fix their servers. Pathetic.

You as teenagers know **** all about security, it has to be said. I find that to be far more pathetic, skids using DDoS tools and claiming its to do with security rather than capacity is just retarded.


Ya I was just about to say that! Creating too much traffic on the server and security is two completely different issues.
