i was havung a fantastic christmas and BOOM my brand new xbox one is totally useless for over a week i was so frickin mad

im not having a good day tbh, but thank you for the nostalgic time of 2014

you missed a key part of the entire story… this happened because Sony went back on their promise to have free online services and did not reinstate it until after the hacks stopped. These dudes literally saved PS owners hundreds of dollars

You don’t get to dictate how others spend their Christmas

they exposed flaws and exploits in the security system, government usually goes light on people like them for that stuff

thats probly because shortly after their sentance.... they got a job offer from the FBI... or the NSA

@@CrazyChiefXxX Maybe, that would depend on how good they actually are. By the sounds of it all they did was DDoS servers (the bomb threat was equally pathetic as anyone can do that), unless I've missed something they never actually 'hacked' anyone. DDoS'ing is weak, at best. They couldn't even DOX properly, which in my opinion makes them pretty pathetic. I have a lot of respect for people with true talent (as long as they don't use it to damage the reputation of good people/businesses/organisations) and those are the people that get drafted in by the FBI/CIA/NSA/MI6 and all the other 3 letter agencies.

i was wonering on that comment on the reporter saying its not that big of a job can you give me more details want to know how up there asses were

@Kevin Agustin Santiago Jacobo a dDos attack is super simple, all one has to do is generate “traffic” on a website or server system to the point where a system fails to be able to handle the traffic, this is done by sending encoded bits of information called “packets” back and forth across the ports (access points) for the system. It can be accomplished by nearly any random person with about 2 hrs google time and a prewritten dDos machine

@@kevinagustinsantiagojacobo698 There are many kinds DoS attacks, and I’m not sure which the Lizard Squad was using. To follow up on what Captain Mike said, there are a couple of analogies that could help explain it. For example, one kind of attack could be similar to continuously calling someone’s phone so nobody else can get through; now imagine your phone company saying “hey you’re putting a burden on our network, so we’re gonna automatically drop every call you get for awhile.” Another kind of attack could be like me ordering a bunch of Pizzas from different restaurants and giving them your address; it ends up taking you a lot longer to sort it out than it does for me to keep calling in the orders. This is an example of both Amplification and Reflection which is the “best” kind of DoS attack. In both of those examples, the attacker doesn’t need any knowledge or creativity. Random teenagers could do it if they’re bored one day.

I also remember the attacks. I was a child who was shocked at their childishness.

lol my thoughts exactly, not that these people can grasp that kind of logic. Its clear just from looking at their faces in these interviews that they have some obvious mental issues.

@@jamiecf2698 Correct me if i understand your wrong, but basically what you are saying is, that every hacker have mental issues according to you?

@@herppderpp7458 haha what? thats not what i said at all. i was talking about the lizard squad specimens in the video

Managing to ddos large companies is ironically still more productive. Takes some work and learning and practice and could honestly be a real skill in life.

Both? Usually in europe u get either.. like x hrs service is x weeks in jail. Atleast that how it works in Nordic countries.

@@kungfreddie hmm I recall it was worded in quite a confusing way so maybe it was indeed either of the 2

@@Rerbun the judicial thinking in most eu countries is that if the sentence is under x time (2 yrs in sweden) then it is seen better for the society and the convicted if he can serve it by ankle monitor/community service/etc. But only if the convicted is not seen as likely to reoffend or is a flight risk. So to get community service at the end means he is not likely to reoffend or flee, and would therefore get the whole sentence as community service. I would guess...

They didnt hack Vastaamo, thats the real problem. That company had zero protection or safeguards and the data was easily accessible by anyone with a decent knowledge of the internet. The company was a total scam company run really badly. It was wrong what that one guy did (not lizard squad, one guy who is no longer a member) but it was bound to happen sooner or later when someone noticed the total lack of security. Both the hacker and company were at fault there. It is good they went bankrupt as they were a very immoral company. Nobodys data was ever actually released and it triggered a massive increase in security in medical systems across Europe, which was badly needed. So you could argue it was good overall i guess.

damn

They flew Julius back into Finland (from where-ever he was hiding) for this, and he finally got what he had coming for him. This was big enough crime.
