Update: http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/security-it/revealed-the-young-men-who-ruined-christmas-for-xbox-and-playstation-gamers-20141230-12foc5.html You guys gotta see the pics for these two. There is no doubt at all that they will crack and tell everything they know about their friends. here is the article: The core members of a group calling itself "Lizard Squad" — which took responsibility for attacking Sony's Playstation and Microsoft's Xbox networks and knocking them offline for Christmas Day — want very much to be recognised for their actions. So, here's a closer look at two young men who appear to be anxious to let the world know they are closely connected to the attacks. The LizardSquad reportedly only called off their attacks after MegaUpload founder Kim Dotcom offered the group some 3000 vouchers for his content hosting service. The vouchers sell for $US99 apiece, meaning that Dotcom effectively offered the group the equivalent of $US300,000 to stop their seige. On December 26, BBC Radio aired an interview with two young men who claimed to have been involved in the attacks. The two were referred to in the interview only as "Member 1" and "Member 2", but both have each given on-camera interviews previously (more on that in a bit). The BBC's Stephen Nolan asks Member 2, "It was nothing really to do with exposing a company for the greater good? You took the money and you ran, didn't you, like a petty criminal?" M2: "Well, we didn't really expect money from it in the first place. If we really cared about money we could have used the twitter accounts that we generated over 50,000 followers within 24-48 hours we could have used that for monetization, you know? We could have easily sent out a couple of linked….profiles or whatever where each click could gain us three to six cents." Nolan: "So why did you take the vouchers, then?" M2: "It was just an offer. It's hard to say. It was just a one-time thing. It's $300,000 worth of vouchers." Nolan: "Dirty, grubby, greed?" M2: "Well, that's what happens, I'm afraid. That's what it is like in the security business." Member 2, the young man that does most of the talking in the BBC interview, appears to be a 22-year-old from the United Kingdom named Vinnie Omari. Sky News ran an on-camera interview with Omari on December 27, quoting him as a "computer security analyst" as he talks about the attacks by LizardSquad and their supposed feud with a rival hacker gang. The same voice can be heard on this video from Vinnie's Youtube channel, in which he enthuses about hackforums.net, a forum that is overrun with teenage wannabe hackers who spend most of their time trying to impress, attack or steal from one another. In a thread on Hackforums that Omari began on December 26 using the Hackforums username "Vinnie", Omari says he's been given vouchers from Kim Dotcom's Mega, and wonders if the Hackforums rules allow him to sell the vouchers on the forum. Member 1 from the BBC interview also gave an on-camera interview to Sky News, although he does not give his real name; he offers a pseudonym — "Ryan". According to multiple sources, this individual is a Finnish teenager named Julius Kivimäki who has used a variety of online monikers, including "Zee", "Zeekill" and "Ry"an". Sources say Kivimäki was arrested by Helsinki police in October 2013 on suspicion of running a huge botnet consisting of more than 60,000 hacked web servers around the world. Local Finnish media reported on the youth's arrest, although they didn't name him. Kivimäki, 16, also was reportedly found in possession of more than 3000 stolen credit cards. KrebsonSecurity.com

For the Record, there is already a "fix" for this out there LOL Maybe should edit your subject to read "Newb Pirate not smart enough to google how to pirate gets owned"

Awesome! Will check this out, thank you

The shoutbox annoyed me

I own all 3 that you mention, and I spend more time in D3, so uh, yea IDK Sadly no Barbarian tips, although I was thinking of going with that next over the wizard, just not really sure

just finished the game. It restarts you in Act 1 on a higher difficulty, you keep all your stuff which is awesome. I was hitting ghouls for 60k+ damage right outside tristram and they didn't die LOL If you guys roll Crusader, let me know, I have tried almost all of that classes stuff out and have some advice

I wouldnt. You end up getting a ton of good shit on normal. Bank it, max out your crafters, and stash, and then jump into hardcore Higher difficulty doesn't mean teh rewards get better, at least they don't on PC

^^^^ Pretty sure 4 is right Crusader hit 51, still haven't died or used a health potion (I am selling them now lol), I am into the expansion now, and about half way through it from what I can tell. Maxed out my Enchanter, Backsmith, and Jewel dude, and started salvaging oranges. As fun as this is, something feels off, and I am hoping its just that "Normal" is actually easy mode

D3 is worth it IMO if you can get it and the expac for no more than 30$ its a great deal. I don't think I would pay more though

Destiny is about the only game that I play thats multiplayer anymore. I still play minecraft and diablo 3, but not with other folks. My son and my puppy keep me running all over the place. for example I had Diablo 3 running all day yesterday, to the point that I had to charge my controller 3 times. But I think I only managed to actually play for about 3 hours. The rest of the time it was paused or I was standing in town. I do have Far Cry 4, and GTAV, as well as BF4 and a few other FPS games. I just don't have time to really focus on that stuff anymore

Well I guess I should play Diablo 3 some more then lol

I was peeved yesterday, but today I just been playing single player games with my son. No biggie, more family time I guess

PSN has been under attack since yesterday afternoon Probably related to the movie "The Interview" No one has claimed credit for it, but you know they would have if it had been Anon or any of the hacker groups EDIT: Well I was wrong a group is now claiming credit http://bgr.com/2014/12/25/psn-and-xbox-live-christmas-hacks/

I am level 30 on my crusader also just rolled a witch doctor and am going to do a monk as well I can't remember what level my wizard is

Great post. I've read that elsewhere though, just can't remember where We should do more posts like these about bands we like

I did lol I even invited you yesterday to a fireteam

Kicking my nephews off Diablo 3 now and will jump in for a little bit here

Sent FR's to both of you guys. Will look for you at some point here tonight or tomorrow

That reminds me I start a nightfall as well, never done one, and I hear you get strange coins from them. I only have 3 right now

Anyone up with helping me finish the Crota Summoning Pits mission? For whatever reason when the Knights spawn, I can't seem to keep up on killing them. I'd like to finish out that quest line at some point.

yea, thats what I figured, I need to get a better main hand weapon. I love Hawkmoon on my Warlock, it fits the playstyle better.

I need to start a thread here soon, because I have no idea what I should be working towards or what armor I can get from where (Non-Vendor)

I really need Ice breaker at some point. I am sick of running out of ammo

I would like to jump in on this. Thats at roughly 530 my time though, so I might not be able to make it. My titan is level 28, if that is to low, can I maybe get a VoG after you guys are done? I'd love to see that place
