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.

Woobie Lol i'ts just Microsoft being them, unreliable.
Compared to Sony I assume? If that's so I'm not trying to start a war, but this happens to Sony much more than MS...

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.

Lavish People give Anonymous way to much credit for everything that happens in the tech world. They are not the only hacking group there is.
Yup. They say the down everything when they don't.
