Unfortunately last month, Microsoft’s Xbox was attacked by  **hacker group Lizard Squad** . Microsoft’s Xbox Live and Sony’s PlayStation Networks both experienced user connection problems on Christmas Day. Both companies expected heavy use as people who received Microsoft Xbox players or Sony PlayStations on Christmas tried to hook up. The problems may have been exacerbated by Sony’s decision to let consumers download the controversial movie The Interview through Xbox Video as well as other online sources.
