I would expect a knock on some doors, and if that didn't work, a pastebin file.
Of course, problem is they are not hacking, they are ddos'ing, which anyone can do with a basic executable. They have members all do it at same time and the servers cripple under traffic.
The real hackers are the ones who will pass on the information to authorities and possibly the public.
Lizard squad were warned.

For a dumbo like me I have no idea of the difference between hacking and ddos'ing @viridis ? Nor the difference in implications ?

Imagine connections to the servers are like pipes.
Most of the time the user data flows quite freely.
Ddos attacks are when they fill every pipe with false user data and that brings the whole network to a standstill because the pipes are all full and bottle necked.
