Fixing the issue isn't going to be easy either and may take a long time since they have to filter the IPs bombarding the servers with endless queries and requests.
You can't prevent DDoS attacks but LizardSquad said in last septembre that their next attack will be for Christmas. They knew an attack was coming. They basically did nothing to prevent it.
