ok so it makes me think how bad is xbox live security is and if anyones information is safe due to this. It is like the 5th attack lizard squad has performed on xbox live but yet they still lack the security to prevent a simple DDos attack if that was simple to do how simple would it be for them to gain access to hundreds to thousands of credit cards and paypal information. like why hasnt the enforcement team counter attacked or tracked the mac address down to the ones doing this even the best hackers have something that can trace them down.

Not sure if I just suck at reading or if he actually just called this a "simple" DDoS attack.

I don't think it would be just as simple as counter-attacking back and such, they aren't just gonna be like "Hey here I am come get me"

Plus, the server is being hit by stress, so I don't see where security comes into play. But it does make you wonder.

If Microsoft had very, very poor protection, they'd be DDoS'd daily, hourly.

well it is simple ddos i used to do it all the time sending packages that the serves cant handle but yet with a ddos it comes from a ip address and with every ip address there will be a mac address yes its a stress and it wont be simple to the average person but to ppl with computer knowledge it wouldnt be hard to do it but with the experiences i have ddosing my school network and costing them security issues and money and almost facing federal offences its not hard to track the sources of these large packages

lizard squad probably has a big botnet which they can send packets from, so tracking would be nearly impossible, but i do agree that Microsoft should increase there DDoS prevention

I'm not trying to be rude but you really don't know what you're talking about.

Listen. If ANY of your information is tooken like credit card information you are intitled to sue Microsoft. I'm no joking this is 100% true

One person just can't simply shut down Microsoft's wall like that.

It has to be more than one person.
Based on the info from their Twitter, I believe it is a group of less than 10.

did you just admit to DDoSing? which his highly illegal and you can be arrested because you just stated that. And no, they have to have the most extreme booter you have ever seen, wait no, you never seen. they have to have millions of bots.
