Anonymous not involved in Xbox Live downtime, Microsoft responds.

4
Xbox live went down yesterday for quite sometime and nobody could sign into their Xbox live accounts at all and people start getting a bit worried when the Xbox Live service status page does not give you a lot of information and when the outage was quite a large one as the service was down for a few hours.

Some people have jumped to the conclusion that Anonymous hacked Xbox live due to their high profile attacks. However, YourAnonNews has reached out on Twitter to clear up the confusion and claims that Anonymous did not take down Xbox Live and they had nothing to do with the service being offline for so long.

@YourAnonNews
"XBOX Live was NOT hacked by Anonymous."

a Microsoft representative informed gameinformer that the outage was due to routine maintenance. Some individuals had claimed that hacking brought the service down yesterday. Microsoft assures us that this is false.

Oh my god, please have someone who knows how to write an article do these. Or at least someone with common knowledge in basic grammar.

NZL This is a horribly written article. The first 3 lines is only one sentence and their are numerous grammatical errors. Also it jumps from past to present tense constantly, it's like a 12 year old wrote it.


That's exactly what I was thinking.

It's obvious that anonymous didnt take XBL down. It's just kids thats spread things like this around and then people start to get worried. Anonymous are overrated and are only supported by fanboys. They're just some hackers on the net, nothing serious. It's not like theyre a worldwide paramilitary killing people daily.
