Sony has said that its PlayStation Network is back online after three days of disruptions that began on Christmas. However, heavy traffic might continue to cause problems for customers, the company said on Sunday.
A group of hackers called Lizard Squad or someone claiming to speak for it took credit for the disruptions. In a blog post on Saturday night, Sony vice president Catherine Jensen added that “PlayStation Network and some other gaming services were attacked over the holidays with artificially high levels of traffic to disrupt connectivity and online gameplay.”
Microsoft’s Xbox Live service, which also went down on Thursday, was back online on Friday, although the company reported continuing problems. So far, there’s no evidence to link these episodes with last month’s attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment. The FBI has blamed that attack on North Korea, which was furious about Sony’s “The Interview,” a movie comedy about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
