FBI Allegedly Investigating Lizard Squad Member Over Xbox Live, PSN Attacks
blottsie writes The FBI is actively investigating a member of the hacker collective that claimed responsibility for recent high-profile cyberattacks on Microsoft and Sony properties, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the investigation and the attacks. A member of the Lizard Squad hacking group, who goes by the alias "ryanc" or Ryan, allegedly garnered the attention of a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation after speaking with the media about Lizard Squad's Christmas-day attacks on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.
An alias is supposed to be a cover for your real name. If your name is Ryan C. and you choose "ryanc" as your alias, you're too dumb to be a hacker.

Yep. You can have all the kiddie fun you want, but when you say LOOK AT ME! don't be surprised when you get looked at by the feds.

Lizard Squad != GOP... or do you have additional information?

So you support locking kids up in prisons where they have to expect physical harm for little more than a service interruption? What's your demand for theft? Stoning?
Not "little more". Just a service interruption. But a "service interruption" that was destroying Christmas fun for a few million people.
There was very little damage done to each person. Maybe a minute of jail sentence worth of damage. Multiply by a million, and you get two years.
If you don't realise what a DDoS attack does, then obviously you don't belong in jail. You belong into a home for seriously mentally handicapped people.

I can't tell if you're joking, or deeply immersed in wingnut alternate reality.
