Ο ιδρυτής του Mega Kim Dotcom έσωσε τα Christmas For many Gamers of Playstation and Xbox. He describes it as a Christmas miracle since Kim Dotcom appears to have stopped the Lizard Squad's DDoS attacks by handing out 3.000 free Mega accounts, worth $99 each.
When the Kim Dotcom tried to play Xbox (he is known to devote too many hours to gamaing) received him an unpleasant surprise. The same surprise was encountered by thousands of other Xbox and Playstation players who wanted to try their Christmas presents.
Οι Lizard Squad, οι οποίοι έχουν πραγματοποιήσει επανειλημμένα DDoS στο PlayStation Network και στο Xbox Live, ήταν ξαναχτύπησαν με ένα δώρο Χριστουγέννων που κανείς δεν το ζήτησε. Μια νέα επίθεση DDoS είχε σαν αποτέλεσμα να καθηλώσει και τα two networks.
Ο Kim Dotcom, rather than blaming the Lizard Squad, decided to make an offer.
"Hello LizardMafia, I want to play #Destiny on Xbox LIVE. I will give away a whole free lifetime Mega account voucher if we play. Cool; wrote on Twitter.
The Lizard Squad were apparently pleased and replied that they were willing to stop the attacks in exchange for 3.000 free cloud hosting coupons.
When it was approved by the Mega management team, Dotcom and the Lizard Squad eventually came to an agreement via Twitter.
Just the freebies accounts were taken over by the Lizard Squad, the attacks stopped and Christmas was saved.
“Thanks Kim Dotcom for the coupons - you're the reason we stopped the attacks. Mega Privacy It's a terrible service,” Lizard Squad wrote, confirming the successful intervention.
Dotcom, meanwhile, is happy to play on network του XBOX, και εύχεται να μπορούσε να λύσει όλα του τα προβλήματαμε δωρεάν λογαριασμούς. Το Ministry US Justice, however, probably won't accept free Mega accounts.
"Obviously, diplomacy works. I would recommend to the US government give it a try. #MakeLoveNotWar #UseMegaVouchers, ”Kim wrote.
Of course there is no guarantee that the Lizard Squad will keep their promise in the coming days, but Dotcom said it would cancel the bills if the attacks continued.
