Last year, Lizard Squad was every console gamer’s Grinch, where the group took down Xbox Live and PSN servers via a DDoS attack. The attack overloaded servers and denied entry for all users. The Lizard Squad attack lasted for 3 days and gamers couldn’t get online to play their new systems or games.
Warning @Sony & @Microsoft. You had 1 year to upgrade your networks. If Lizard Squad takes down PSN & XBOX this Xmas, we'll be pissed! RT!

This year, Phantom Squad wants to make a new Christmas tradition of attacking Xbox and PS4 servers. Let’s hope both Microsoft and Sony learned from last year’s terrible experience and do what it takes to prevent another attack.
