    I don't own an xbox but I have to ask, why the -blam!- would people do this!? You don't gain anything, all they do is shut shit down so people can't have fun it makes no sense to me! They're like the enemy from braveheart '' oh look you got a shiny new game did you? well we are going to take it and then blam it first then shut it down so you can't play it bitch! Only WE GET TO HAVE FUN!" I hope that they find lizard squad and lock them up for 30 years. Don't forget to use the tasers! And why would you do it on Christmas!? The day of the lord, the happiest day in the world. And you're gonna shut it down, You guys must be real douche bags . And you can never shut down xbox, they are too wealthy and have staff that are alot smarter than you guys.

    • There is actually people out there sad enough and pathetic enough to do this. This sickens me to the core and makes want to hunt down these assholes. This is truly sad if they do I hope they get caught and locked up.

      • By the time I have spent time with my family and had some food and a little Christmas nap, xbox live will be back online, if it even goes offline. That is if I even play the xbox on a day when people tend not to, as they to are spending time with their families. This is not addressed to the person who made this post as you are probably not even part of the cumquat squad anyway. You just be trolling.

      • No, no. You have to insert a dramatic pause before "forever", and then add the proper emphasis. Like so: [quote]"We'll shut down the Xbox Live servers... [i]FOREVER!!!!![/i]"[/quote] It helps if you have an orchestra play an ominous "dun dun DUN" afterwards, but that's not strictly necessary as long as you really hit the dramatic pause.

        • They are just going to get their asses handed to them by Microsoft. If they are looking for notoriety then why hack Microsoft. One of the worst security networks and a complete joke to hack. Even the famous hacker group Anonymous said that hacking them I ridiculous and not that large of a feat. If only these kids understood the real world they would understand that reverse psychology is a pain in the butt!

          • Simply put, it really goes to show that they are the Amateur Hour act of the Script Kiddies club, if they think that they have the power or know-how to actually do it. If anything, they have at least crossed the lines of making a terroristic threat, that will make the authorities more keen on shutting them down. Domestic terrorism, combined with the fact that the FTC has grounds to get involved, at least in the US, means that there is a shelf life on these clowns. If they think that they can just run their DDoS for an extended period of time, they are more than welcome to try. They will be helping the authorities to track them down. Just like tracing a phone call, the longer that a DDoS is run, the easier it becomes to trace it back to the source. And, if they think that they are going to physically compromise the segment of Azure that XBL runs on, they really need to learn a little more about how Microsoft has built that platform. Having worked with the Security Engineers at Microsoft, in their Cloud Computing division, I can say - with confidence - that they (LS) are outclassed, skill-wise, by those folks. All a DDoS is, ultimately, is a disruption. It is elementary to do, which is why these people are likely no more than school-age folks who think that because they took a programming course, understand how all of technology works. They could not be more mistaken. Realistically, they are no more than a nuisance. But if they want to think that they can "elevate their game", more power to them. Makes designating resources and pursuing legal action against them so much more attainable.

            • I have a feeling that these kids aka jizzards are sad sad little boys that were never allowed to play video games as kids. So they have sworn their lives to ruining others enjoyment with video games. At least that how I see it haha

                • Why do they have such a hard on for x-box, I mean what's the point in them doing this? If they're doing this to fight an evil corporation, shouldn't they go after one that does actual harm, and ruins lives?

                • Ddos cannot shut anything down permanently. Lizard squad does not have the talent to actually hack anything...
