Merry Christmas, everyone!  :)

 

I came here to make a very unfortunate Public Service Announcement, Lizard Squad has hacked and brought down both Xbox Live and Playstation Network. Xbox One Users are unable to sign-in to their gamertags, even offline. 

 

So if anyone here was wondering why they can't play their video games, now you know.

 

I plan to update this thread when the Xbox service is available again, (I don't have my Playstation 3 hooked up at the moment).

I signed in to XBL with no problems, and several friends are signed in, as well.

I was online for a little bit on my Xbox One to get an achievement in the Halo MCC to play Halo 3 on the 25th of any month and all went swimmingly. That was earlier during the morning though.

I still can't sign into my account, but it's connecting to Xbox Live now. I don't really understand how that's working.  

 

Here's some source for the DDoS attacks, beyond personal experience:

That is odd, maybe certain areas are effected and some aren't? No idea how that stuff works.

I know that it isn't just my Xbox One, I can't sign into my account on Xbox.com either. I might be having issues because my account isn't on auto-sign in, I have it set with a password. Maybe that's why I and some others are effected and others aren't? I don't know.

Edit: So it appears that most of the issues are fixed, signing into Xbox live is the only real remaining issue:

Do you think it's better for the ones who can sign in to sign out again? I mean would it be easier for the hackers to hack something when we are signed in?

There's nothing to worry about. It's Lizard Squad. They just DDOS stuff. They seem to either not want to or lack the knowledge to steal data.

Ahh okay thanks, I have no idea who they are or anything so I got a bit worried when I read this.

As Liam said, they only DDoS things. I don't know how these things work exactly, but I was thinking that maybe they are hitting certain servers instead of all the servers, which is why some, but not all of us are effected. For those signed in, I recommend staying signed in, because you might not be able to later. 

 

On the bright side, I just found out that there is a hacker group called Finest Squad that's goal is to take down Lizard Squad. It would be a poetic justice if Lizard Squad were taken down by another hacker group.

Neither me nor my brother can sign into PSN. I've got a brand new PS4 here, haven't even been able to make an account yet.

Can't sign in on XB1 at all

I relly hope someone finds every single one of these asshats and anally rapes them repeatedly with baseball bats because this nonsense is beyond annoying especially after a long work day

Phew, just tried my PS4 as well and luckily no problems there either. It must be an area/country thing.

 

It's probably a bunch of 12 year old brats!

That's rough, getting a new console and not being able to use it is 10x worse than not being able to play a new video game in my books. 

 

Here is Sony's status page: https://support.us.p...-status:-online

You might want to keep an eye on it, so you have a heads up when the issue is fixed. I'll try to update for both, but I might be a bit late on posting when the problems are fixed.

At least I can still mess around with single player stuff. I got the GTA V+The Last of Us bundle, but unfortunately the Last of Us is a voucher for the digital version. Can't wait to play it.


Off topic, but what do you play on PS4 OWA? We might have to gang up on some fools.

I would love that Tony, lets do that. My PS4 is pretty new as well, bought it in time for DA:I, so I've only got that one so far and AC:Unity but if there's a specific game you have in mind, then I don't mind buying it.

I'm planning on getting AC: Unity. Maybe we could all play some co-op soon. :)
