Here's a quick rundown of the Lizard Squad situation:
So it all started because Lizard Squad didn't think Micro$oft's servers were very good. Whether you guys agree with them or not, that's aside the point. So Lizard Squad warned Microsoft that they would be attacked on Christmas day if they didn't upgrade their servers. Well, apparently Micro$oft didn't listen, so Lizard Squad attacked, in the form of a ddos attack, as promised in hopes that Micro$oft would listen, and consider upgrading their servers.
As far as I know, Micro$oft didn't react a whole lot. There was a little bit of activity on various (official?) Xbox accounts, but nothing else more than "Yes, we're aware our services are down, and we're trying to fix them".
Then, around 7 hours ago, Kim Dotcom offered the entire Lizard Squad team free lifetime Meag vouchers if they stopped the attacks. After a bit of negotiating, Lizard Squad agreed to the terms, and stopped the attacks. According to Lizard Squad's twitter, the attacks have stopped. Any services that remain down are simply a result of the aftermath of the attack.
tl;dr: Kim dotcom saved Christmas [/quote]
But, shouldn't these hackers go to jail?[/quote]
If they can be caught...[/quote]
If the hackers were received free vouchers, would you think they where caught?
