Hackers attacked Sony and Blizzard crazily: finally caught by FBI

Everyone must remember the bad behavior of the hacker group Lizard Squad a week ago. They first launched a DDOS attack on Sony's PSN service platform, and then took down Blizzard Battle.net, League of Legends, and the live broadcast website Twitch. In addition, they also falsely accused the president of Sony Online Entertainment of carrying a bomb on a plane, which led to the FBI's involvement in the investigation. Today, Lizard Squad was finally taken down by the FBI.

On the evening of August 30, a Lizard Squad member tweeted: "It looks like the FBI has now found Komodo and Iguana (Lizard Squad members). Maybe I'll be next. Good luck FBI."

In fact, after Lizard Squad attacked PSN, another hacker group, Activist Revolution, tracked down the IP addresses of all Lizard Squad members, as well as detailed information about each member. In addition, the bold Lizard Squad members also like to post personal photos on Twitter. Perhaps the FBI relied on this information to catch Lizard Squad.

However, the angry Lizard Squad had no intention of disappearing, and one of the escaped members threatened the FBI, saying "good luck to you."

It seems that the remnants of this hacker group are planning to make some big moves. I wonder what impact this time will have.

Event Review:

Lizard Squad launched a DDOS attack on Sony's PSN service platform on the evening of the 24th, paralyzing its global service platform. That night, they lied that John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), was carrying a bomb on a US flight, causing the flight to be stopped at Phoenix Airport for security inspection. The FBI then intervened. In the following days, Blizzard's Battle.net, League of Legends, Path of Exile and other games as well as the live broadcast website Twitch were all attacked.
