Steam is down after a lizard squad attack

If you try to enter Steam, you will see that Steam is down after an attack by Lizard Squad. Dangerous news for video game platforms. Because Lizard Squad has pulled down Steam servers and threatens to do the same with PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The worst part is that this is happening a day after the winter ones hit Steam.

And you are surely wondering, who are Lizard Squad ? It is a group of hackers that is not a novice, because years ago they pulled the platforms of PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. As a result, many players (millions rather) were left unable to access the online modes of the games.

Lizard Squad pulls the Steam servers

Bad news for Steam guys and gamers, because these hackers have decided to take it now with Steam and tear down some of their servers. The affected Steam servers are causing problems for players in Europe, the US, Japan, South Africa and Australia as we have read in the last count. This is how they communicated the news via Twitter:

But this does not end here, but Lizard Squad threatens to make another DDOS attack (denial of service attack) to the servers of PlayStation and Xbox. What is clear is that when they warn, not usually everything is left in a warning, they tend to be serious. So it is to be expected that in the next few days, users of these platforms will run out of online service.

What can Steam do to stop attacks?

As a curiosity, you may also hear the news that the founder of MEGA, Kim Doctom, gave these hackers 3, 000 premium accounts just to stop them from attacking the servers of Sony and Microsoft. They are capable of everything, but let's see what Steam can do to get everything back to normal.

Steam is currently down. It is still down but we hope that the service returns as soon as possible. The guys from Steam have not issued an official communication of what has happened, but we hope that everything will return to normal soon.
