Don't know much of the details so I was guessing it was high traffic from the holidays. I figure it wasn't hacking that involved stealing card numbers cause that isn't much panic. What did happen exactly? Also what are you guys doing in the meantime?

The outage has been over with and it was caused supposedly by Lizard Squad who did the same to Xbox Live.

There was no credit cards stolen. They simply DDoSed the servers by faking massive traffic to the servers causing them to crash.

That sounds simple. But what was these lizard people's point in doing this?

They're children, they have Twitters, and mostly did it for Twitter followers/lulz.

It's also not hacking either. They just overloaded the servers with requests. They used botnets(hijacked computers) to do it.

The reason they claimed to of done this was to make people spend time with their families on Christmas... which I don't believe for a bit. Not after one of them supposedly stated in an interview they hoped to get jobs cause of this. Good luck with jobs in jail.

Did they ever think that people would get PS games on x-mas? They might have prevented them from playing them and x-mas would be ruined for them.

Actually, It's more then that. They are kids who are also trying to tell adults how to live. It's ridiculous. I must admit... The story of the kid who called 911 over the outage was rather hilarious, despite how frustrating the entire situation was. (I was playing my PC those days, so the outage didn't effect me.)
