This year another hacking group Phantom Squad has promise to do something similar and spoil gamers holidays.
They announced on Twitter that they will take down the PlayStation data pipe and Xbox Live for Christmas.
We are going to shut down Xbox live and PSN this year on Christmas.
They claim to have already started making attacks on these networks.
It says that it is going to carry out the attacks because cybersecurity does not exist.
However, the Phantom Squad claim that they are not affiliated with Lizard Squad at all.
You had 1 year to upgrade your networks.
If Lizard Squad takes down PSN & XBOX this Xmas, well be pissed!
Phantom Squad have also claimed to be responsible for the outage Reddit experienced earlier this week.
The website did indeed go down for a short period of time.
Reddits website status report suggests that the website database was under extreme load.
However, the company has not verified the validity of that claim till now.
We hope that Sony and Microsoft will take necessary measures to prevent this from happening.
No official statement has been released yet from any of the game console manufacturers.
