Xbox Live Experiencing Issues, PSN Attackers Taking Credit

4.5
Xbox Live is currently experiencing sign-in issues and those claiming responsibility for the earlier PSN attacks, and the bomb threat against a flight carrying Sony online president John Smedley are taking credit.

Is anyone having issues with the Xbox Live Login servers?

The good news is, Microsoft is fully aware of the issue, and has this message posted on the Xbox Live status page:

Xbox members, are you having a hard time signing into Live? We’re aware of the issue and working hard to find a solution as quickly as possible. Thanks for being patient in the meantime. Please check back in a half hour for an update on our progress.

The issue does not appear to be entirely widespread. While I did have issues signing into Xbox Live with my Xbox 360, my Xbox One did not pose any problems.

Xbox shouldn't complain too much considering how often PSN is hacked.

Gossip I didn't have this issue thankfully.


Actually, very few users are being affected compared to the amount of users that are not being affected.

Calling them hackers is being too kind and also incorrect usage of the word, they're skiddies and I pity the skiddo reading this who might be involved.

Baby_Harris DDOS is far from hacking. Anyone can do it with little knowledge of computers.


Ok then take down XBL for just one second if it's that easy.


Well no because it's highly illegal and I don't have the resources to do so. I'd prefer not to do jail time to prove a point to a 12 year old on TTG.


Hahaha "ok then take down XBL for just one second if it's that easy." you must be 12? If you don't know DDOS come on.
