At approximately 10:27 a.m. Philippine Standard Time (PST), hacker group LizardSquad claimed responsibility for taking down Valve's Steam servers, instantly disconnecting some 2 million users. According to the group's twitter group, the recent attacks on Steam and other gaming servers are just a precursor to more attacks to come during the holiday season this December. As of 11 a.m. today, Steam service has been restored. The hacker group made waves in media and news reports this year when they took down several major gaming corporation's websites and servers, including grounding the plane of Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley last August.
