Well I swear to you I was not trying to make it vibrent, its what I actually thought. The whole situation at first glance reminded me of the 2011 PSN shutdown.

It's kinda pathetic really. Hacking was a bit cool when the internet just started to get popular because nobody really understood it but now it's just stupid. I really hope they catch them and put them in jail without computer access. These cybercrimes should be severely punished imo but then again i believe almost every crime gets sentenced too low...

u wot m8t

I see several possibilities:
Nintendo fans who want to bring down XBLA and PSN? (Or maybe Nintendos lack of a decent store system wasn't worth taking down :D) (Unlikely)
PC Elitists (Also unlikely)
Assholes (Probably correct)

EDIT: After doing some research, this isn't the only thing those bastards Ddos'd
They even managed to do it to fucking steam (For about 20 minutes) and Battle.net

Boy would I like to have the IP of their PCs. The thing is Ddosing isnt too difficult to do. Hell, you could do it with ping.
Just found this. May not be relevant to the Lizard Squad attacks but its kinda scary. This is what cyberwar looks like:
