Daybreak Game Company, the studio formerly known as Sony Online Entertainment, suffered a series of DDoS attacks yesterday. The attacks came shortly after their CEO, John Smedley, made a series of angry and threatening Tweets directed towards Lizard Squad and Julius "zeekill" Kivimaki following news of Kivimaki's punishment from Finnish courts. Smedley, understandably, found the punishment to be far too lenient for what Kivimaki and his associates did. It's easy to remember that Lizard Squa...

John Smedley, the former CEO of Sony Online Entertainment and current CEO of Daybreak, has a small bone to pick with Julius "zeekill" Kivimaki.

The courts gave Kivimaki a two-year suspended sentence. That's essentiall...

Hot on the heels of the news of the recent arrest of an individual possibly tied to script kiddie group, Lizard Squad, comes word that their pay-to-DDoS service was illegally accessed by third party sources. For those unaware, Lizard Squad tried to be savvy business people after the success of pressing a button or two to bring down PSN, Xbox Live, and send threats to SOE's John Smedley. They set up a site, LizardStressor, that would allow people to coordinate similar attacks and sell subscr...
