EVE Online's CCP has confirmed both the outage and the attack, the Escapist is unreachable at the moment, and Minecraft creator Notch says that things were down, but supposedly service has been restored.
LulzSec hasn't shared a reason for the attacks just yet, but we can only guess it's, as they say, "for teh lulz."
Update: The group has gone after Riot Games' League of Legends servers as well. Attempting to log in to the game gives a "server busy" message, though there's no official word from the company yet. CCP, please tell us you're prosecuting the little zits.
That article is from 2011, not 2013. |

I think it would be great if they did, but I am wondering how do you know that it hasn't been done? How do you know that the update hasn't been made?
When the server was up and in VIP mode, the 'update' would have been downloaded via the patcher if the process were completed. |

It's still good information for those that need to update their queue's. |
