Playstation, Xbox online services collapse after alleged hack

Xbox and PlayStation online services have crashed due to technical glitches after allegedly being attacked by a hacking group.

The companies that make the game consoles, Microsoft and Sony, said that they are aware of the issues that are affecting their online services, reported BBC. A hacking group called Lizard Squad has claimed that they caused the problems.

However, neither Sony nor Microsoft commented on the hacking group's claim but said that they were working towards fixing the problem.

There was a message on Xbox's Website and PlayStation's official Twitter account that they are working to get the glitches "figure out the right away".
