Gamers
around the world were left disappointed on Christmas Day after hacking
group Lizard Squad carried through with its threat to bring down both
Sony's PlayStation Network and Microsoft's Xbox Live service.
Notorious
hacking group Lizard Squad, who had previously brought down both
networks earlier this month, once again claimed responsibility for the
sustained distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Microsoft
and Sony both used Twitter to acknowledge the issues and to assure
users that they were doing everything they could to restore their
services
Another
hacker group, The Finest Squad, then emerged, saying that it would stop
the group and bring its members to justice. The Finest Squad tweeted at
about 5pm ET that they had Xbox 'pretty much restored.'
The
problems may have been exacerbated by Sony's decision to let consumers
download the controversial movie The Interview through Xbox Video as
well as other online sources.
'Are
you having a rough time signing in to Xbox Live?,' a service alert on
the Microsoft product's website asked. 'We're working to get this
figured out right away. We appreciate your patience.'This Hackers will soon take over Governments,what do you think?
