Xbox Live has been having some headaches recently. Connection was spotty for days last week, with the status page constantly updating as Microsoft engineers appeared to be working furiously to return stability to the gaming platform. A DDOS attack of the sort that brought both PSN and Xbox Live down last christmas may be behind the outages, and a hacker group known as “New World Hackers” has taken responsibility, adding Xbox Live to a list of other targets that range from the BBC to Donald Trump to ISIS. Newsweek recently talked to New World Hackers, offering an interesting insight into the group’s mentality. We’ve reached out to Microsoft and will update with any more information. The Department of Justice, as a matter of policy, neither confirms nor denies if they’re treating these claims as legitimate.
