DDoS Attack Confirmed

[Snugglebutt]

Considering that WoW was just hit by a DDoS last Thursday, I would put money on it being the same group just shifting targets.

I don't think so. The DDoS on their servers was probably from someone lashing out due to the many problems their severs had when expansion came out. Someone butthurt probably due to not being able to play while they fixed the issues. This DDoS is (due to the timing) probably someone else who is butthurt over the changes to coil which just happened. I doubt it is a group or one person doing it to both...which is not to say such a scenario is impossible but highly unlikely in my opinion. DDoS canons and other such tools are rented out to individuals so does not require having to be some group with a grand agenda or political agenda by another nations citizens to be the cause of it. Such groups are rare, what is not rare is individuals renting these canons to target servers of companies whom did something they do not like.
