DDoS Attacks Confirmed

One distinct possibility for incongruous stories is that I doubt Yoshida has all info and information releases flow through him at all times, he's a busy guy and usually there are other PR entities that handle things in addition to lead devs resulting in one hand moving opposite the other. This can frequently lead to miscues and miscommunications. For example, just last month in world of tanks a NA legal offices put out a press release on an issue for the EU region that was completely contrary to what the EU office had said resulting in a PR debacle. I'm curious to see what further information comes out clarifying/supporting/elaborating on the tech issues and this 'DDoS' issue.

yep good point. I been combing thru some of the websites of major data hubs trying to see if anything has been issues about it, and poking around in the less than desirable places on the net to see if anyone is hinting at who did it too.

Is Square publicly traded/beholden to a board? I also wonder sometimes with companies because no matter how great and honest a Lead Dev can be, I've seen the CYA (cover your a...) legal/PR departments make some very shifty moves/statements in the past (other companies/games, my experience with SE is pretty limited so I dunno about their past integrity etc). People like to forget sometimes that the almighty bean counters can trump producers/directors/devs sometimes in major corporations. Either way I'd like to see what they do about this going forward because regardless of the reasons getting chain DC'd half the time you enter an instance isn't a good experience.
