An amorphous hacker collective known as Lizard Squad may have played a role in the massive cyberattack against Sony, according to the cybersecurity firm IntelCrawler. The group has attacked Sony previously and appears to have some links to Guardian of Peace, the previously unknown hacker group whose name has appeared on released Sony documents.
This does not necessarily rule out North Korea's involvement in the attack. Rather, if Lizard Squad was in fact involved, it appears most likely that they worked with the North Korean government in some capacity, or that they conducted separate but overlapping attacks.
Meet Lizard Squad the group that may have helped North Korea hack Sony - Vox
I seriously doubt they have any connection to North Korea.
At any rate that is from a couple of days ago.
And this is what has been ongoing since last night:
Merry Christmas. PSN and Xbox LIVE are down thanks to Lizard Squad
Notorious DDoS group claims responsibility
