Xbox Live Status Currently Down And Limited

4.5
Microsoft is reporting problems with its login servers across all Xbox devices.

Users are reporting issues signing in to the service, while browsing the online stores is also proving problematic for some.

According to Paradiger a new hacker group calling themselves “TeamBudyBear” have been claiming on their twitter account to have taken down Xbox Live.

They said:

“We’re doing these attacks to show everyone how bad big company’s care about security. We as teenagers know how to fix their servers. Pathetic.”

It looks like they’re taking down Xbox Live to prove a point. This is a similar reason as to why Lizard Squad did what they did last year.

Tet Give it around 1month before nearly everyone involved is in either in jail or has to pay the 10,000$ fine.


I don't believe many of Lizard Squad are in jail are they?...


The whole whole ideal about Lizard Squad is quite confusing. I really have no clue about the truth about Lizard Squad.

Wow, didn't see this coming *cough*... People will do anything for a second of fame, It's our own fault for not neglecting Lizard Squad.

This again, really? It was pretty funny at first, years ago when it first happened. I never notice these anyway, I barely ever use my consoles, but if I was a console gamer, I'd be pissed off at this, obviously.

ZIGAZAG I don't even care anymore I haven't renewed my xbl gold for 3 months now and I won't until they fix the problem maybe other people should do the same then they will be forced to secure their servers. But if people just keep paying them crying nothing will get resolved


Sorry but securing a server for millions of users from a DDOS is not easy by any means. To date, a company, REGARDLESS OF HOW RICH AND POWERFUL, have yet to protect themselves from a DDOS attack because it floods their servers with fake commands. Those fake commands are things we would normally do but they are sent so quickly in such a large amount it's impossible to tell apart a DDOS from a lot of traffic before it's too late.
