Hacked? Xbox and Playstation Networks Go Down

Thousands of people reported Christmas Day problems on the Xbox Live and Playstation gaming networks, as a band of hackers took gleeful credit.
The networks, which allow users of the popular consoles to play the video games with a wider online community, first crashed on Wednesday evening and the problems persisted into Christmas Day, enraging many users — but especially those powering-up new machines from Santa Claus.
A hacker group called "Lizard Squad" claimed responsibility, saying on Twitter that it toppled both networks with so-called distributed denial of service attacks. The tactic involves overwhelming Sony and Microsoft's servers with unexpected — and bogus — user traffic.
The group wrote on Twitter Thursday, adding a similar line about Sony, "Jingle bells jingle bells xbox got ran... oh my fun it is to troll of you morons ... hey!"
Xbox and Playstation responded Thursday saying they were working on the problems and investigating.
