THE XBOX LIVE SERVERS ARE DOWN

[b]Posted this a few days ago, but might still be helpful in clearing some stuff up.[/b] It's not the Destiny servers. It's Lizard Squad, a group of "hackers" who DDoS'd the Live servers. This means you might be unable to use some services on your console (Netflix, Hulu, Destiny, Titanfall etc) as they require 100% of the network to be online to work. They are likely going to take the PSN servers down as well, so you Sony heads better hold on. https://mobile.twitter.com/LizardPatrol Just clearing up some confusion. Be sure to help me bump this to get the word out. edit: [spoiler]and give Oracle a little break informing people. heh[/spoiler] edit2: here's what a DDoS attack is; [quote]DDoS is a distributed denial-of-service attack. Basically, a group infects computers with a virus which allows the group to network it with other infected computers. This network is then used to overload a targeted system to the point where its security can't do anything and the system is useless until the traffic can be rerouted or the attack ends.[/quote] Thank you Oracle for explaining this to people. In other words, it's like a room(server) with the occupation capacity of 100 having 300 random people squeeze in, pushing a majority of the people already in the room out and overloading the room's limits. The reason it's still offline is likely because of the damage caused by the attacks, but I'm no tech professional. edit3: [u]What you can do about it;[/u] GET OFF YOUR XBOX. Give MS some time to work it all out. By tomorrow things should be as if nothing happened. edit4: It's happening again. At this point, Microsoft needs to get better security. Vote with your wallets, people!
