PSN outage
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. |

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.
