Hackers claim Christmas day outage of Sony PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox networks
Earlier this month, as the Sony Entertainment breach was making headlines, Sony's PlayStation Network (PSN) was knocked offline due to an alleged hacking attack. On Christmas morning, just as kids everywhere were unwrapping their new PlayStation and Xboxes, the PSN and Microsoft's Xbox Live network were both disrupted leading to speculation that they were once again hacked. A group calling themselves Lizard Squad claiming responsibility for the attacks via Twitter.
As of now, PlayStation is still offline and PSN is directing users to their @AskPlayStation Twitter account for updates.
Please follow @AskPlayStation to get the latest updates as we work to restore full network functionality.
