DDOS attack

[MistakeNot]

are you the DDOS attacker? Shialan I play 6 to 8 hrs a day I just wanna play there's no trolling I want to understand this situation. The video was simplistic at best who wants to do this? and keep millions from playing this game? is is a corporate attack from a business rivel? or could it be from the inside disgruntled employee?

We don't know who is responsible.
Most likely some bored kids who think it is fun sabotaging stuff. They wouldn't have the technical resources by themselves, but there are botnets for hire that they can rent.

You're complaining that they're not recovering fast enough from being attacked?

Maybe would be less vulnerable if did not put the web server on same server or something down those lines @@

Maybe it's people pissed because they can't pay anymore due to the payment processor change fiasco, maybe it's the rmt mafia, ... Your guess is as valid as any rumors.

No, I complain that, as such a gigantic company, they are not able to take preventative measures, those are two different things

a 7 layer DDoS attack is really difficult to ward against or the likes, if you educated yourself a bit by looking it up, you would see that, you need to put your complaints about those that perform it and further more all the people that has been infected by this little bot tool that then sends traffic to the server.

It could be everything, from your car to washing machine, litterally anything connected to a network that sends these messages to the server.

I'm sure they are taking lots of preventative measures, but no shield of protection is perfect forever, especially with a motivated and well-equipped attacker.

Until we have evidence that SE's attempts at protecting themselves were negligent somehow, attacking them for being attacked seems wrong.

It seems, that TeliaSonera/Twelve99 has issues and not the FF14 servers.
