Hacker Gang 'Lizard Squad' Says It Has Stopped Attacking PlayStation Network And Xbox Live - And Will Never Do It Again
Dec 27, 2014, 06:15 IST
The notorious hacker collective "Lizard Squad" says it is no longer attacking PlayStation Network or Xbox Live and will not do so in the future.
You can thank Kim Dotcom for that, the group says on Twitter.
Kim Schmitz, a.k.a. Kim Dotcom, is the German founder of the defunct file-hosting service Megaupload, and the current founder of his new file-hosting service, Mega. He is also the founder and main funder of New Zealand's "Internet Party."
Despite what Lizard Squad says, however, as of Friday evening, PlayStation Network is still down, and Xbox Live is extremely limited.
Then again, it's tough to take Lizard Squad at its word, considering how this anonymous international group seems to enjoy putting a major damper on the holidays for a lot of people. But of course, Lizard Squad doesn't see it that way.
