Lizard Squad Members Charged – Daily Security Byte

October 10, 2016 By Corey Nachreiner

Lizard Squad is a “hacktivist” group that targets game companies, mostly with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. I’ve covered some of their hijinks in previous videos. This week, we have some good news. Authorities have identified and charged two alleged members of this group. Watch Friday’s video to learn more about this story.
