Xbox Live Services Currently Down (UPDATED)


Original Story:
Parts of Xbox Live are currently non-operational. It appears that social features are affected, including friends lists and leaderboards.
Many Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners have  been reporting problems with connecting to Xbox Live. Instead of multiplayer fun, consoles are responding with the 80151909 error code, warning that an Xbox Live profile has failed to download when users attempt to sign in. Some are able to sign in and play, with most reporting that it’s just the social features – friends lists and Twitter – that aren’t functioning. While I’ve not attempted signing in on my consoles, attempts to log in on Xbox.com have been fruitless. Lizard Squad is the group that’s taken credit for much of the hacking malarkey of late, with Direct Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on PlayStation ntwork this year, as well as attacks on individual games like Grand Theft Auto 5, League of Legends and Destiny.
The official Xbox website also seems to be impacted by the current outage. We’ve reached out to Microsoft for more information, as the Xbox Live support page, which is part of Xbox.com, is unreachable right now.
We’ll update should we receive more information. In the meantime, the Xbox Live Marketplace appears to be accessible, and downloads appear to be operational.
Update: Microsoft has not commented on the earlier Xbox Live outage, but services seem to be restored. No cause for the down time has been confirmed.
