If you remember 2014’s Christmas Day, you might recall a memory when you weren’t able to use nor Xbox Live, neither PlayStation Network. It was because a hacker team called Lizard Squad attacked both services. This year might see a repeat of the events but extended out to an entire week. It would be done by a different hacking crew, though.

Xbox Live and PlayStation Network might go down for an entire week thanks to Phantom Squad – previously, they claimed to take successfully down servers of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Grand Theft Auto V and even Reddit. Their reasoning? They claim that „cybersecurity doesn’t exist”.

We don’t know if the attacks will happen or not, but let’s hope this is a warning sign for both systems and companies. Hopefully, nothing will happen, but if there will be a fly in that soup, be sure to prepare some backup plans to spend the next week without gaming. Better be safe than sorry!
