Banking on its “fame”

The group that has claimed responsibility for bringing down Sony’s PlayStation Network and Microsoft’s Xbox Live with a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which began back in August, are now looking to make a profit. Lizard Squad has launched a DDoS tool called Lizard Stresser for anyone wishing to bring down a website or service for a fee.
Eight price packages are being offered that ranges from $6 per month to $130 per month with adds-ons being offered for more power to take down a website. The starting price of $6 will result in a site being taken down for 100 seconds while $130 means a targeted site will be brought down for 30,000 seconds (over eight hours). A “lifetime” option is also being offered with one-time fees ranging from $30 to $500.
According to the group, Lizard Stresser is available to anyone who is willing to pay with the customer being able choose any target of their choice. Lizard Squad is even implementing a referral system that will give 10 percent of the amount spent by friends. However, those who decide to deal with the group, and make use of Lizard Stresser, will only be able to make purchases with Bitcoin, according to the group's Twitter account. However, Lizard Squad states that PayPal support is “coming soon.”
Lizard Squad has become notorious for its targeting of many game networks and MMOs this year such as Battle.net, NCSoft, and League of Legends. Its latest attacks were once again aimed at Microsoft’s Xbox Live and Sony’s PlayStation Network on Christmas Day which resulted in Kim Dotcom offering the group 3,000 free vouchers for premium Mega accounts to stop their DDoS attack on both networks.
