The group that hit PlayStation Network and Xbox Live on Christmas day, Lizard Squad seems to be the cause of another DDoS attack, but this time aimed at 4Chan.
In fact the tool provided by Lizard Squad, the so-called Lizard Stresser is now used to attack 4Chan, a well-known website where users post anonymously.
The Lizard Stresser that is now being used in the DDoS attack against 4Chan is the same tool that took down PlayStation Network and Xbox Live about a week ago.
There’s no telling who exactly is using it now because Lizard Squad made the tool commercially available, so anyone could execute these attacks for the right amount.
The Lizard Stresser offers individuals a way to take down IP addresses without having to know anything about hacking or DDoS attacks.

Like six or eight hours of it being down today, and image upload is currently broken.
It was down for me at 3:40AM now some threads don't seem to load images if the thread loads at all.

It was down for maintenance, there was even an announcement for it before it went down.

ohh yeah, I see now.
and then they blamed it on Vipes.

if they actually did this they'd be truly assholes.

muh merge
I do wonder why you'd attack 4chan of all places though. All that does it get you the bad kind of attention
pretty sure it was maintenance seeing that there was an announcement

I remember seeing it too late last night.
Well I currently can't shitpost so I'm pretty bummed out
I don't understand why people keep on giving these assholes attention, it's what fuels them to pull this kind of shit. If nobody responded to them doing this, sooner or later they'd give up.

Actually I'd prefer it gets out of control and they get caught doing more and more serious crimes so they get put in jail for as long as possible. Its going to happen, being this reckless.
rip lizard squad I guess?
I cannot create threads on /tg/ right now. I thought it was because of my shitty WiFi. Now I feel bad for mentally insulting my ISP
"Hey guys lets attack one of the most controversial websites on the planet, 4chan consists of nothing but virgins anyway"
they dun fucked up

If LS ever were to actually attack 4chan, there'd be absolutely no better time to break out the popcorn.
Not so big of a hacker now, aren't you 4chan???
trying to take down 4chan is like poking a a hive of wasps
Either it wasnt taken down (just for planned maintenance) or the one behind this is really stupid
Seems like the elusive hacker '4chan' got a taste of his own medicine.

Aaah, my bad then.
Watch as there is publicly announced steam maintenance and then there is news somewhere about Lizard Squad taking it down.
So, they didn't take it down? And it was just maintenance and they claimed it was them?
still down for me (Germany)

Perhaps in 2006, but you are seriously mislead if you believe todays 4chan Anon is able to do anything but order pizzas.
Where am I supposed to shitpost now?
