Sony’s PlayStation Network goes down

Sony’s online service for its gaming console, PlayStation Network, is currently down, with users reporting issues logging in over the past couple of hours — and notorious hacker outfit Lizard Squad claims they’re responsible for the outage, The Next Web reports.

PlayStation Network’s status page confirms that some users may have trouble with the service at the moment, but hasn’t shared details on the nature or cause of the issue.

PSN support says they’re aware of the downtime and are currently looking into it.

While it’s unclear whether this is a maintenance problem or if Lizard Squad attacked PSN servers, the outage comes just a couple of days after Xbox Live for Xbox 360 went down, with the hacker group claiming credit.
