Lizard Squad DDoS attacks...

[NickHouston]

So over the past couple weeks many things we know and love were knocked offline after a hacker by the twitter name "Lizard Squad" claimed to be behind the attacks. I'm not sure if he is actually the guy behind these DDoS attacks but it's annoying. Some affected services include:

Battle.net (Blizzard)
RuneScape
Play Station Network
League of Legends
And soon to come is Xbox Live.

Now, it is unclear whether or not Lizard Squad is behind the attacks, but whoever is behind that Twitter account is definitely taking all the credit.

Thoughts?

Any new stories, we've had this happen before

Well we know if multiple networks are under attack them it's most definitely a group or collaboration. And if it's not this Lizard Squad dude, then I feel sorry for him when the hackers take all his stuff

I agree with king, might be lizard squad's twitter hacked because lots of followers. Id be interested to see how big their botnet is to take down those huge networks!

I remember friday night LoL was down for about 3 hours, but they didn't mention a DDoS, just an emergancy restart (probs coverup )

Just read the twitter, crazy bastards lol.
