DDoS Attack Confirmed

[Syx]

www.digitalattackmap.com - Click on Canada. Suffering from about 30-50Gb/s of malicious bandwidth since yesterday evening. Only about 4Gb/s originate from China. The rest has no source IP. This is only the top 2% of reported attack data.

Corporate sabotage from Blizzard surely!

blizzard had the same type of attack 24 hours after launch. SE got the same after 2.4.1 to prevent exploits and gold diggers from flippin us sideways.

Looking at that map, it looks like the United Kingdom has it worse than the United States

Keep in mind that this map is just a momentary impression. A datacenter in the UK may be suffering now. Tomorrow it may be a center in the US.

Oh wow come on China. Not cool.

Because you can just flip a switch, right.

In a serious note this post is spot on. Some people think that they just can stop it straight away..... It takes times and it's being investigated. Look at what happened with psn.

im guessing it's more the USA's fault right now. japan and china have no real use to shoot themselves in the foot by ddos'ing one of its biggest videogame company. same goes with the USA and we ALL know to wich extent the usa is willing to sink into obnoxiousness in order to look like a victim

Anything is possible, ppl need to remember a lot of US Tech Companies did move assets to China for cheaper labor.

- so make it look like the attacks came from there and no one will bother to look any further. It would also be very easy to bounce the attack off a lot of PCs there because that's probably where most of the insecure Windows XP installations in the World are located.

Even YoshiP talked about this when they were making the Chinese Version of XIV. Cyber Cafes are very popular in China and most of them sadly have older PCs and why they had to take that into consideration.

I know this is a serious matter, but what if this is "Pluto's Kiss" happening?

Those two monitoring websites ARE scary!

Looks like another round of a sled-load of coal from Santa for these DDoS bitches.
