A new hacking group has warned gamers of launching another large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against XBox Live and PlayStation networks. “We do it because we can,” the group said, “We have not been paid a single dollar for what we do” Neither Sony nor Microsoft has yet responded to the hackers’ warning. DDoS attacks against DNS hosting provider Dyn last fall broke large portions of the Internet, causing a significant outage to a ton of websites and services.
