Here's a better article. http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/games/xbox-playstation-networks-down-hacking-group-lizard-squad-claims-credit-20141225-12dtk6.html http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/games/xbox-playstation-ne... Lizard Squad is posting about their DDOS attack on twitter via @LizardMafia. They are forcing Sony and Microsoft to read their statements for them to stop the attack. EDIT: It seems @KimDotCom is working with @SavagexCOD (Lizard Squad Member) to get the network back online in exchange for lifetime mega.co premium membership vouchers. Kim Dot Com: Hi @LizardMafia, I want to play #Destiny on XBOX Live. I'll give your entire crew Mega lifetime premium vouchers if you let us play. Cool? Lizard Squad: Attacks have stopped momentarily, awaiting @KimDotCom's response.

What a terrible thing to do. "Hey guys, you annoyed me. Let me give you a ransom!" This won't discourage further attacks, it will only make things worse.

  Agreed. They've posted a picture on their twitter of a note saying "Lizard Squad made me do this" beside an insanely cut wrist. Are these activists or terrorists?

    They describe themselves as cyber terrorists.

  I'm not surprised, Kim is known for his extravagance and will promote Mega every opportunity he can.

  Really? If @LizardMafia begins attacking someone, Kim can revoke the licenses. Also, it could very easily be a honeypot. I give you a voucher, and you activate it from your IP, I give it to the authorities. If one time you don't login to your account from behind a proxy/vpn/tor, I can give your IP to authorities. This isn't advisable to Kim, but it is a possibility.

    This really only shows that Kim is in it for himself, just like with his previous ventures. The post gives Mega exposure (good for him), plus it frees up the XBOX network (also good for him), which I'm sure he is playing today since apparently at one time he was one of the highest ranked players in the world. Don't think of it as anything other than self interest.
