Lizard Squad attacking Tor

Don't know how much of this is valid, but we should all be cautious

Fucking children.

It looks like they are just flooding the directories with relays hosted on some google service (probably app engine). The relays do seem to be valid but they will be very easy to block as bad as they are all on google's AS. I assume google will also take them down soon as I doubt they are paying for them, probably using stolen accounts or abusing free trials.

If they actually wanted to hurt Tor they would have just DDoSed the directories, as UDP amplification is the only thing they are good at.

Playstation, XBox Live, and Tor? I mean, with the first two I guess I can kind of understand, but why Tor all of a sudden?


[12 Points] None:

They are a bunch of pre-pubecent teens in need of some attention from anybody willing to take them seriously. They have no reason to attack TOR, they are just a bunch of wannabe hackers. Don't worry about it.

Fuck those guys, I couldn't even get my advanced warfare fix because of them


[8 Points] Gw3do:

Bit of a stretch calling them hackers. The Sony lot were hackers.


[10 Points] KindaNervousGuys:

Shit, if the FBI doesn't get them first, a hitman will. They fucked with PSN and XBL and had some laughs, they fuck with Tor and some deepweb admins will have people find who they are and fuck them up or simply kill them.

This seems serious. Thanks for sharing.

You can't trust a damn thing from a gawker site.

[2 Points] None:

it appears to be very real. Not sure of their intentions but I would avoid using it for now.

check out how many nodes they have control of... 3347 by my count (search for lizardnsa).

More importantly the Bitcoin Bowl is on tonight. The Lizard Squad is going to hack college football.


[2 Points] DarkDubzs:

These fucking little kids just want to get attention like they are 1337 hax0rs. It's pretty obvious as well. They are indiscriminately attacking big popular services and claiming it was them... Trying to stir up trouble and get attention. The thing is, they won't become famous or even known irl, because if they reveal who they are and what they're doing or responsible for, they're just going to be fucked. So everything they are doing is just pointless, besides for feeling full of themselves and as if they are making any kind of difference.

If traditional hackers can be compared to a burglar who lock picks his way into a home, Lizard Squad can be compared to a bunch of rich idiots who pay an army of trained squirrels to bang their heads against the door until it breaks down. Tor has nothing to fear.

I want to see these guys' faces. And laugh for hours
