That's a small dose of what's to come on Christmas. LizardSquad
Lizard Squad ( LizardPatrol) December 2 2014Game players are able to access Xbox Live again after the site suffered an outage Monday that the hacker group Lizard Squad took credit for.
According to a Yahoo story many in the United Sates and Canada were unable to connect XBpx Live after Lizard Squad claims to have DDoS attacked its servers.
DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service and happens when a group floods the site with so many requests it shuts down.
The group claimed on Twitter that it had taken down XBox Live and threatened to do it again over Christmas.
Lizard Squad has also taken credit for disrupting League of Legends the Playstation Network Grand Theft Auto and more.
So far Microsoft the company that developed and operates XBox Live has not commented on the outage.
