>Last Christmas, so-called hackers at Lizard Squad decided to toy with the emotions of millions. At a time when many people would have been hooking up a brand-new game console (or loading up a new game), both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live were knocked offline, thanks to an effective DDoS attack. Considering the fact that the same group decided to take PSN down on Black Friday a few weeks ago, it seems the attackers haven't grown bored. With Christmas right around the corner, we can't help but wonder what will happen next.
>So far, there have been no visible threats on PSN or XBL, but Steam and Minecraft are being targeted by a new group desperate for attention. This one goes by the name of SkidNP, and it promises to take down both services over the holiday.
Why do they do it? What cunt wants to spoil Christmas?

as a dota 2 player. please do take steam down.

They don't even need to. All the traffic during a sale does it for them.

>"wow, this guy's good"
Steam servers go offline when they please anyway, people already got used to it
>going after the two servers that go down on their own very often
Steam often kills itself via sales.
Minecraft often kills itself via maintenance or the Mojang Toaster blowing up.

You know when you make up hypothetical conversation situations in your head, they should really stay there. Nobody thinks your witty, honestly you come off as autistic.

>Psn down on black friday
I bought stuff just fine and was playing online. when did this happen
I'd love to see them try and DDoS the plethora of different servers Steam has across the entire globe. Good luck with that one.
The store? I'd be more surprised if it worked even without their skiddie tinkering.

I found it pretty funny.
You however, come off as a massive tryhard.
Maybe you should stick to LoL and Counter-strike: Global Offensive forums, as they seem like more your shtick.
