Three hours later, Microsoft is still investigating Xbox Live problems | VG247

Xbox Live started playing up earlier today; both Xbox 360 and Xbox One users are reported troubles signing in, searching, downloading content or using the store.
Microsoft – admirably communicative as usual – quickly let players know it was aware of the problems and had a team on the case.
Unfortunately, the problem (whatever it is) is proving more difficult than usual to nail down, and as of three hours after Xbox's first acknowledgment of the problem, there's been no update besides a reassurance the team is still investigating.
We've come to expect rapid turn arounds on Xbox Live downtime and outages, so this is a bit concerning.
Update: Eurogamer reports a "hacker" squad has taken responsibility for the downtime via a DDoS campaign. We won't give them the satisfaction of our attention, but it's a worry; last year we saw extended console network downtime over the holidays as a result of malicious activity. The group is also said to be targeting the PlayStation Network.
Keep an eye on the Xbox Live service status page and watch Xbox Support on Twitterfor updates.

They say psn is next. Everyone should go to their page and report their twitter account.

Their twitter account got suspended. Some times it's best just to report theses people and silence them where they cant get their 15 mins of fame rather than to go on their twitter and call them names.  8)

On another note: It's the 20th anniversary of "Hackers".  Not sure what the date was but there's a 20th anniversary bluray out.
