9/7/2019 Server Issues

Wonder where my $15 a month over the last 10 years…
Clearly wasn’t spend upgrading your server’s security.

Don’t knock the PSL! :grin:

From PCGamer: " A 38-year-old Romanian man is going to do a one-year stretch in US federal prison for launching a series DDoS attacks against [World of Warcraft] in 2010. The US [Department of Justice] said in a statement that Calin Mateias unleashed his digital fury after getting into an unspecified beef with other players."

Not the first time and this dude(s/ets) are not going to think the consequences are funny when they befall him

Only thing he can hope for is in a nonextradition country (which I doubt)

They don’t tend to give ETAs because most people don’t understand what the “E” stands for. If they gave an ETA of 3 more hours and it went one second beyond that, people start freaking out and making no sense…“How can a billion dollar company…”

i’m petitioning my supervisor to have this as our MOTD for when our website goes down.

Do you guys not have firewalls?

Umm I was agreeing with you, unless you replied to the wrong person. I know what a DDOS is and how generic and hard to predict it is.

Nice DDOS attack … began 16hours ago… …it’s supposed to be prevented ^^

Actually, they are not being totally clueless. There are companies that provide DDoS sandbox servers for redirecting DDoS attacks to the sandbox server. This prevents things like this from happening. As for reimbursing, yeah… that’s not going to happen unless they can’t stop the attack for days on end.

So much for my glorious break from real life… This has been going on now according to the hacker’s twitter account for 18 hours now…

Congrats wow on yet again not protecting your servers…

Yeah but sitting here for 5 minutes, vs sitting here for 60 minutes, I’d prefer to know “It’ll be long” even if it ends up being quick, than it ending up being long while I’m waiting for a quick.
