Microsoft has shot down rumours that the widespread Xbox Live outage over the weekend was due to a hacking attack.
Hacker collective Anonymous was reported to have been linked to the problems with the online service, but Microsoft moved to debunk the rumours in a statement issued to
GeekWire.The platform holder said: "The Xbox Live service outage on 13 April resulted from networking misconfiguration during routine maintenance and was in no way related to false claims of hacking the service."Many Xbox Live users experienced issues logging into their profiles on Saturday, while matchmaking and account issues were also reported last Wednesday.
