John Smedley, CEO of Daybreak Game Company, the developer of PlanetSide 2 and H1z1, has used Twitter to call of a Lizard Squad hacker.
The hacker called in a bomb threat to an airplane Smedley was travelling on, and also published Smedley’s home address online.
Smedley isn’t very happy about that.
that was the piece of garbage that brought my plane down, leaked my information and did all kinds of other crap to me.

Do you think Smedley is justified or going a bit too far?
