I followed Lizard Squad from the beginning, and they were notorious for DDoS attacks, but never saw anything about data breach from them. Also the public DDoS attacks we know from LizardSquad around Christmas was in 2014 and they took down Playstation Network, Xbox Live, and then I believe they also targeted some of the TOR network.

With that being said... I do remember vividly out Assange was said to have disappeared, the deadmans switch was supposed to trigger, and then major portions of the Internet went down temporarily. This was in October 2016 and was due to the DDoS attack against DynDNS, which took down DNS services for many services throughout NA and EU. I remember AWS, Reddit, Twitter, Spotify, Slack, Paypal, Etsy, Github, and many more were affected.
