Kim Dotcom Makes Deal with LizardSquad to stop attacks towards Xbox Live and PSN

4.6

All of you who just got your Xbox One or PlayStation 4 for Christmas can now connect to Xbox Live or PSN. The recent DDoS attacks from Lizard Squad have taken the services offline, but have since stopped

The founder of Mega tweeted Lizard Squad asking them to stop the attacks in exchange to give their entire crew 3000 Mega lifetime premium vouchers.

Dotcom was the founder of the now Shut down Megaupload. Dotcom is also an eager gamer once ranked number one on Modern Warfare 3 before the raid on his home.

Tweets sent out from Kim DotCom and Lizard Squad:

Hi @LizardMafia, I want to play #Destiny on XBOX Live. I'll give your entire crew Mega lifetime premium vouchers if you let us play. Cool?

Asking Mega management to approve 3000 @MegaPrivacy premium vouchers for @LizardMafia if they stop attacking XBOX Live and PSN immediately.

Attacks have stopped momentarily, awaiting @KimDotCom's response.

barkley800 All I read was Kim just funded LS.

"But if you attack them again the vouchers will be terminated"

Even if they plan to sell these codes it will take them at least a year or two to sell the 3000.

seagullz I'm actually disappointed the Kim supported the terrorists like that.

Better that than hundreds of thousands of people not being able to enjoy some games on Christmas.

Still with more money do you believe they will simply stop, with more funding they can cause more damage. As said they are selling them if they want to sell fast they could sell them $50 or whatever and it wouldn't hurt them since they got it for free and the people that bought them would be hurt if Kim cancels them.

He is a business man, I'm sorry do you understand the way the world works? Anything they sell, he will cancel, if they use them he will hand over any data received to the correct authorities... Damn you kids are idiots

Calling others idiots, you make it sound like they are easy to find. You must be dense if they used them from what you are saying kim would be able to give their location but has he?

I see where your coming from but my guess is that he done it firstly so he could go online and play because he is a big gamer and secondly to promote his website.

Horizex Lizard squad could simply still DDoS xbox love and PSN but me silent about it just to keep the deal with kim

Also another group can easily emerge and say they did it.

I can't believe they had to be stopped by someone bribing them...
