Group that attacked Tumblr threatens to DDoS Xbox for Christmas

Tumblr went down for more than two hours Wednesday afternoon. A new hacking group is taking credit for a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that took down Tumblr this week. The site was first reported offline shortly after 3:15pm ET. The group claims they are not motivated by money and have no sinister motive for the attack. They say they plan to take down PSN and Xbox Live for Christmas 2016. The most common type of DoS attack involves sending more traffic to a computer than it can handle.”]
