Merry Christmas, gamers: Both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network are down this morning, apparently due to a denial-of-service attack. The hacking group Lizard Squad has claimed responsibility on Twitter for both outages. While Lizard Squad's role in all of this remains unconfirmed, both Sony and Microsoft have acknowledged issues, with Sony issuing a tweet and Microsoft posting a message on its website: "We're working to address this as quickly as we possibly can," reads its status website. "Thanks for your patience, Xbox members."
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
10,00RTS and we will stop smacking #Xbox and #PSN offline
