Why are they attacking blizzard?

Because it sounds too much like Lizard, and they're getting sick of losing the publicity.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the shut down of the Vanilla WoW server. Though I would prefer Murfles theory

What do you mean ? There never was an official Vanilla WoW server, or do you mean the idea of it? Or did Blizzard get a private Vanilla WoW server shut down?

It's been one of the big news items this last week, they forced the biggest private server to shut down.

There was a private vanilla WoW server called Nostalrius that was shut down by Blizzard for operating outside its specific rules, it was one of the only places to play vanilla WoW I believe.

Ah is see, yeah that would piss a lot of people off.

Lizard Squad: The notoriously angry nerds.

Why not steal buttloads of cash instead? Why just DDoS people? Seriously, what incentive is there to just wanna piss off groups without a good score to take.

So all they can do is flood people with copious amounts of meaningless data. F*** sake, if I'm gonna hack into your sh**, I'd wanna make a motherf****** profit out the deal. IMO.
