This is being discussed in the Steam community thread but I think this is big enough to warrant its own thread:

Another day, another DDoS. And this time it's Steam.

As you can see by http://steamstat.us/, most of Steam's servers are down.

Lizard Squad, the same guys who claimed to have DDoSed XBL recently, are taking responsibility for the current Steam outage:

Woops. There goes 2 million steam users.

Can we get an update on Steam's status?

Well, I was hoping to broadcast something for a few friends before bed but now I can't. Thanks for nothing, Lizard Squad.

e: credit to aeolist for directing me to the LS twitter, should have put that in before

Lace · Dec 5, 2014

I thought they were done with this.

Ermac · Dec 5, 2014

Those cold-blooded bastards.

VoltySquirrel · Dec 5, 2014

Getting really fucking tired of Lizard Squad's bullshit.

CreeperBlocks · Dec 5, 2014

Fuck these people. I hope gabe tracks them down

RPGamer92 · Dec 5, 2014

These attacks are pointless because they effect the consumers more than the companies :/

Bessy67 · Dec 5, 2014

So is it actually hard to catch these guys, or are they just not a big enough nuisance for these companies and/or law enforcement to track them down?

Wyndstryker · Dec 5, 2014

It's one thing to hit XBL, but hitting steam is like asking for other hackers to hunt you down.

Carl · Dec 5, 2014

Someone needs to sort these fuckers out sharpish

ChawlieTheFair · Dec 5, 2014

Yup, account offline. Was about to play CSGO as well. Wankers.

buy teh haloz · Dec 5, 2014

They done fucked up now

Strider · Dec 5, 2014

Steam went down for like a minute for me. Now back up and working fine.

Gabe too strong.

-MD- · Dec 5, 2014

Up for me, been on all night no issues.

Wario64 · Dec 5, 2014

No wonder I was trying to send a message through chat, lol

Duxxy3 · Dec 5, 2014

No issue here.

Face it Tiger.. · Dec 5, 2014

..really LS?

._.

Unknown One · Dec 5, 2014

These bastards need a new hobby.

RyanPierre · Dec 5, 2014

It kinda seems like a big part of why they do these attacks is the attention. Why doesn't Twitter close/ban the account?

Is this joke going to be repeated in every lizard squad related topic?

I-guana hear new jokes.

Ghazi · Dec 5, 2014

Was having issues with Dota 2 earlier. This explains it.

smokeandmirrors · Dec 5, 2014

DDoSing is the dumbest and most childish thing you can do.

1337 HAXXORS GUISE WERE TOTES KEWL

SilentRacoon · Dec 5, 2014

Fucking thing died on me when I was about to take on the enemy ancient, seriously don't these guys got better things to do?

ph1l0z0ph3r · Dec 5, 2014

What a sad group of individuals. Their holidays must be terrible if all they plan on doing is trying to ruin everyone elses. I mean shit if your going to brag atleast do something that actually takes skill.

RadioJoNES64 · Dec 5, 2014

Now it's personal.

I enjoyed this.

Jawmuncher · Dec 5, 2014

Hopefully it's done with when I wake up.

vypek · Dec 5, 2014

I'm surprised these guys have so much support/retweet/favorites on twitter. Why?

Drifters · Dec 5, 2014

Who's next?

alr1ght · Dec 5, 2014

You're giving them just what they want

Idiots love them. Can't wait for them to grow up and actually get jobs so they can go away.

Ricerocket · Dec 5, 2014

Need to stop talking or mentioning about these guys. This is what they want.

Devilgunman · Dec 5, 2014

Not impress. Try DDoS Facebook then we talk.

That would actually be interesting at least.

Sounds about right. Even if I'm not someone who is being affected, it is really annoying

malfcn · Dec 5, 2014

Did they hit Xbox again? My wife said she was getting bumped while trying to play Dragon Age.

This totally wouldn't have happened if OP didn't make this thread.

Damn you, OP!

kurahador · Dec 5, 2014

Sigh...no wonder I can't login to steam store.

Should change the title to "some random group".

Do you honestly think someone else wouldn't have made a thread if I didn't?

And it's news. Steam is down for a lot of people and a lot of people on GAF use Steam. There was a thread when LS took down XBL too.

Shengar · Dec 5, 2014

Is it just (part of) USA sever? I'm having no problem right now.

Shepard · Dec 5, 2014

Went down but it's back for me.

No_Style · Dec 5, 2014

Have they targeted non-gaming services?

BitterSidekick · Dec 5, 2014

EU land here, having problems too.

Also, they do this because of what? fame, attention? Damn...

Zuhzuhzombie!! · Dec 5, 2014

Ah.

I can't watch any streams and I keep losing connection to the server. Though tit might be my problem but glad its not local.

Mostly just stream and friends list problems for me.

Keep posting their twitter.

edit: I think we should all follow their twitter as well. To show how much we hate them. Also, do they have a facebook page? I'll join their facebook so I can dislike their posts.

That'll teach 'em.

Bunta · Dec 5, 2014

These guys are some leet haxxors.

Braag · Dec 5, 2014

... Ok so what now?
Are we supposed to be impressed? I don't know what their attacks are supposed to accomplish.

yankeeforever2 · Dec 5, 2014

I get one hour to fucking play today, and it is ddos fuck these people. All these groups end up imploding and in jail and I will be happy when they are.
