Bad News if you got a PS4 or Xbox One from Santa Today

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

If you're like me and got a awesome new PS4 for Christmas, you'll probably be freaking out right now because you can't connect online. Just to let you all know, a hacker group known as Lizard Squad hacked into PSN and Xbox Live. So now both servers are down and it's impossible to connect online. Figures a bunch of jerks would ruin Christmas.

Yeah, that sucks. Anyone know how long it takes Sony and Microsoft to fix this usually?

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Well my 3DS and Wii U can connect online just fine so I guess the holiday is saved for me 

 

Anyway hopefully this gets fixed soon and hopefully they'll up the strength of their firewalls for their servers

[Gijs Potters 11]

What the firetruck does the lizard squad hope to accomplish with this???!!!

they really make me sick...

No clue. I hope that by tonight it'll be fixed, but who knows.

[Exiblade7 1,917]

That must suck. I hope they fix the servers for both systems soon.

They hope to simply achieve fame. They have nothing else to do in their crappy lives

Not saying this is the reason for sure... But it could also just be that the amount of people accessing PSN/Xbox Live with their new systems was too much for the servers to handle and they went down, and this group is taking credit for it. The Nintendo Network was down for two days last Christmas because of server overloads.

I think Sony/Microsoft would have let people know if the the reason was server overloads, but maybe you're right.

True that.

True that.

From what I remember, Nintendo didn't say anything about the server overload last year until a while after it happened. I also feel like Sony and Microsoft would let people know if it was something as serious as a hack. That's still a possibility, but I feel like a server overload would make a lot of sense this time of the year.

I think it's a mixture of both Server Overload and the Hack. Last year, some people were able to go through with Nintendo. No one is getting through here. Not only that, it's so bad for Xbox that you can't even go onto Xbox.com. It won't load.

Damn, that's seriously not good

Well perhaps they are trying to get to accounts information in order to get games or use a members money to their own benefit, all of this under the name of a user you know?

[HikariYami 354]

Some pieces of shit really wanted to take down the server to mess up people's holiday and jeopardize security. 

They could use their talents for something better. 

 

I wanted to play XBONE today, but that is not the case.

well i guess it's possible but i never heard about something like that happening on PSN/Xbox live

[hatok 6,413]

Damn you North Korea

is there no level you won't stoop to to mildly inconvenience us!?

[Hargleblargleboo 979]

The Lizard Squad are probably college drop-outs that live in their grandmother's basments, merely seeking sadistic fame through douchey acts on the internet because they lack any kind of life whatsoever.~

 

I mean, just look at their twitter page.

It kills my brain cells.

UGH! I wanted to play the free FFXIV trial  If they steal money or do something really bad we'll probably get free stuff so I guess there's a positive side...

Don't know. But the "Lizard Squad" says that they will take both down for good. Doubt it though.

Tsk...Tsk...Tsk...there's always gotta be a Grinch somewhere, huh? Whatever happened to just living deep in a cave high above the reaches of society?

That could be possible. I'm holding out on saying what it specifically is until either company makes an announcement, though. It could be either one for all we know.

I forgot that was part of it, too. I think it was mostly all of the people who made new NNIDs for their new 3DS or Wii U that caused it, though. Pokebank just helped.

[Cucco 1,907]

Yep, been having this problem with my new ps4 all day ;_;

I doubt both companies will admit it, since it looks bad. However, apparently a group known as Finest Squad is going against Lizard Squad to bring back the servers. Apparently this month the two hacking groups have been going at it as a full blown hacking war.Here's the Finest Squad's Twitter. They claim that they're restoring Xbox Live and are currently working on PSN. https://mobile.twitter.com/FinestSquad/tweetsThey also claim that they got the Lizard Squad's Twitter down, and that they got a Lizard member arrested.

Join the club. ;-; Lets play some PS4 and celebrate when PSN goes online

Well, I feel like they'd have to let people know if some sort of hack went down. A lot of people would be really concerned if some hack happened and they were never told.
