LONDON: Sony’s PlayStation network remains down for a third day in a blow that hit eager online gamers as they unwrapped their new consoles on Christmas morning.
Microsoft’s Xbox Live service, which also went down was back online yesterday, although the company reported problems with some functions later.
Credit for the disruptions was claimed on Twitter by a group of self-proclaimed hackers called Lizard Squad, or someone purporting to speak for the group. But many video game enthusiasts and other hacker groups quickly condemned their actions.
