TOKYO--Sony Corp.'s online PlayStation store and Microsoft
Corp.'s Xbox site suffered disruptions to users on Christmas Day in
a possible cyberattack.
The PlayStation store Twitter feed said that some users were
having trouble logging into its network. It said engineers were
investigating.
A notice on Microsoft's Xbox website said it knew some users
were having trouble signing in. It said, "We're aware of this
issue, and we're working to find a fix ASAP!"
The problems were affecting Xbox Live Core Services, though most
other applications were up and running, it said.
The PlayStation store also experienced spells of inaccessibility
earlier this month. That followed a cyberattack on computer systems
of Sony Pictures Entertainment that led to the release of
confidential information on the Internet.
A hacker group calling itself Lizard Squad appeared to take
responsibility for the disruptions on its Twitter account.
