DDoS Attack Confirmed

[Rhindas]

Well honestly, China and others cyber attack the USA virtually daily, the common citizen just lives blissfully ignorant of it. And that's not tinfoil hat conspiracy. It's the world we live in now, and yeah, that's pretty scary (and should be).

And the bad thing is with the way the utilities are set up in the U.S. it is predicted that is this is how our next big terrorist threat will come from.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.
