Kim Dotcom Makes Deal with LizardSquad to stop attacks towards Xbox Live and PSN

4.6
All of you who just got your Xbox One or PlayStation 4 for Christmas can now connect to Xbox Live or PSN. The recent DDoS attacks from Lizard Squad have taken the services offline, but have since stopped

The founder of Mega tweeted Lizard Squad asking them to stop the attacks in exchange to give their entire crew 3000 Mega lifetime premium vouchers.

Dotcom was the founder of the now Shut down Megaupload. Dotcom is also an eager gamer once ranked number one on Modern Warfare 3 before the raid on his home.

SSYN I just want to know what they are using to take down the servers.

Well I think you should go and read a few books on networking and programming, if you think people are just going to tell you out of the blue then you are going to be waiting for a while.

This is a very good thing to do, yet I don't think that bribing hackers is the long-term solution, it just spreads the message "if you're doing something really bad, then we'll give you free stuff if you stop"

Miss Should have offered them something much larger to end it completely.


You obviously didn't read the entire article. In the last tweet in the image

"Pro1 annual Mega vouchers with 500GB storage (value99) each. If you leave Xbox Live and PSN alone they will be converted to lifetime - Kim Dotcom

"Yes Sir" - Lizards

"But if you attack them again those vouchers will be terminated" - Kim Dotcom

Looks like a good enough reason to me for the lizards to stop for a while.
