While Lizard Squad was taking down Microsoft and Sony, a war was brewing. A rival group known as the Finest Squad seemed hellbent on stopping the Christmas Day attack, but they failed. Omari said the opposition only made them more determined to take down PSN and Sony Live. “We wanted to show that Finest couldn’t do anything. Without access to Microsoft and Sony’s servers, there’s no way they could have prevented it,” says Omari. “They are just a group of wannabe hackers.” Finest Squad then set up a website that claimed to reveal the personal information of members within Lizard Squad. “The website is so far off it’s hilarious. Either the information is extremely outdated or straight-up wrong,” said Omari.*
