Xbox Live Goes Down Yet Again, Lizard Squad Claims Responsibility

4.3
Xbox Live social services including friend list, party chat and logging in are currently suffering from connectivity issues on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

At the time of writing the Xbox Live Status page does not currently reflect the problems, but we can confirm that the service is having difficulties.

The Xbox Support Twitter did acknowledge service problems as well as down detector.

Xbox Live and PSN took a hit last year when the Lizard Squad were running rampant but it seems the group is back to their old tricks once again.

Literally talking about how this happens way too often the other day and some MS fan was trying to claim it's a rare occurrence lol.

That's why I've been able to successfully be in a party and see who is online for the entirety of the weekend. Nice try lizard squad, but you are downright pathetic.

Lizard Squad just needs to stop. I mean, are they doing it for the fun of it again? That's really pathetic if they are. They need to do something better with their lives instead of hacking stuff for the fun of it. This is getting annoying. Microsoft needs to upgrade their security or do something about Lizard Squad.

I cant stand this anymore, I try to play but it ends up its always offline they need to fix something.

SkittlePosted:

Maybe they should do something that takes effort, not typing in an IP Address and pressing Enter..

If xbox live isn't back on for when i get back to uni in a few hours, god dayum! 3 weeks without my console, and its down.

PryzelPosted:

That picture really creeped me out for some reason...

OT: Lizard squad really just need to stop and just grow up. They have almost nothing to gain from doing this, it's pathetic.

Akin This Is why xbox Live pisses me off so much tbh.


To quote Deranged
"All you **** saying xbox needs to get their shit together are retarded.. ddos is almost impossible to stop when they have so much equipment dedicated to kicking a company offline.. everyone is vulnerable but at least xbox only has issues with just a few services.. playstation gets completely shut down for hours and takes days to recover everything.. even steam has been hit.. regardless its the bitches ddosing that need to get their shit straight not xbox "


Here we go again, turns this into a Xbox v Playstation console war. This is why I hate looking at the news because if anything happens to PS then Xbox owners are in the PS news like "that's why you get a Xbox m8"

Oh and just to add, when LizardSquad did the Xmas ddos to both consoles, I was still playing the two days that it happened.
