limited Xbox Live service, PlayStation Network still down

4.7
Microsoft has restored a limited service to Xbox Live users after the online gaming platform was allegedly taken down by hackers.

A group named Lizard Squad has claimed responsibility for the disruption, which is still affecting Sony's Playstation Networks.

The outages come just over a week after threats by hackers forced Sony to cancel public screenings of a satirical film.

Both companies expected heavy use as people who received Microsoft Xboxes or Sony PlayStations on Christmas Day tried to hook up.

iBaby PSN Network has always been too easy to hack, Least xbox had actually 'Limited service', still the 'Lizard squad' are idiots, especially over christmas


Um, there were hackers involved in this? Definitely NOT!
I'll try and tell you how to prevent and why they couldn't
prevent it. Think there's a guy 10 foot deep in an open
hole chained to the floor. The hole is rather narrow so
when someone decides to flood him it will take less
water. Think of the person as PSN if the water gets to
his head = PSN Offline. But then PSN gets wiser this
time he makes the hole a lot wider, thus causing
a lot more water to drown the guy. (Widening
the hole = Upgrading Bandwidth)

A lot has changed now, Sony have really upped there servers compared to PS3.. Although it is still slitely easier to attack as mentioned by real hackers.

LizardSquad need to quit annoying people for no viable reason. Ruining tons of people's Christmas is nothing to be proud of.

loganj23 some of the people on here are **** retarded did u read the lizard squad interwiew?? obviously not because they said microsoft was much easier and that psn has upgraded their security alot.idk why everything turns into a goddamn console war. lizard squad quote in interview "Microsoft and Sony are **** retarded, literally monkeys behind computers," one of the members of Lizard Squad explained to The Daily Dot. "They would have better luck if they actually hired someone who knew what they were doing. Like, if they went around prisons and hired people who were convicted for stuff like this they would have a better chance at preventing attacks."


Look at their twitters, they say Sony is easier to hit lol

But they also said Microsoft were faster to upgrade their security than Sony and that Microsoft stopped the attack faster than Sony.
