Lizard Squad launches DDoS tool that lets anyone take down online services, starting at $6 per month

Lizard Squad, the “hacker” group best known for attacking Microsoft’s Xbox Live and Sony’s PlayStation Network, has now launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack tool. Now anyone can now take down the website or online service of their choice thanks to “Lizard Stresser,” which we’re not linking to for obvious reasons.

I quit reading here, after having my suppositions piqued upon reading the OP. I honestly don't believe for a second that Lizard Squad is behind this venture. Reads to me more like an opportunist(s).

Introducing the Lizard Squad Miner. Now, you too can conduct your very own DDoS from the comforts of your own basement provided, of course, the ambient temperature is 77o F with low humidity, akin to the ideal setting for BFL Monarchs.

(51% attacks are extra, and not available everywhere. Check your local listings.)

I can bet you most of them are teenagers ,people can argue if they are that good, why aren't they at major security consulting firms? Simple, they either can't

maybe they are from North Korea or Iran or other places where the security consulting business is not profitable.


Or maybe they are and want make money from both ways

after some recent hacks by Lizard Squad, looks like someone is using their name to get promotion and marketing of their hacking tools
if they need money then they can make it easily by hacking, also they won't sell their product to collect the bucks for coffee
