Anonymous not involved in Xbox Live downtime, Microsoft responds.
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.

"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.

People give Anonymous way to much credit for everything that happens in the tech world. They are not the only hacking group there is.

Codec It's good to hear that they didn't attack Microsoft but, how the heck can some routine maintenance mess up so much.
Maybe after maintanence they forgot to push the power button on the servers.

Thank you for finally clearing it up. There's been so much spam in the forums and it's been so annoying. Some people were so convinced and like terrified that Anonymous did it and there was so many topics in the forum. They would like believe the first thing they see on twitter from fake accounts.
