Christmas hacking – while you were out

Just a few items occurred while you were with Christmas activities:

Playstation and XBOX Live networks were down by a DDOS attack. (Distributed Denial of Service) attributed to Lizard Squad.

Playstation is part of Sony Electronics. And its store was not loading as of 01:47EST 12/26/14

So there are problems in Sony Land — Does this have to do with Sony releasing the Movie “The Interview”?

 

The movie may be bad (as critics say here) http://thehill.com/homenews/news/228085-critics-hate-the-interview !

But at least it is our movie to dislike – lots of theaters who showed the movie were very busy.

 

So we also got Rackspace  DDOS which was restored after some time:
