Depends if this was hitting a vuln, or not. DDoS arn’t always about a Vuln in your system 🙂 and for a curious person it always worth asking 😛 I suspect your right we will not get to know more. Not in a public forum anyway. ---

I love how CCP says that the TQ is back open and accepting connections and then doesn’t say anything about the fact that we still can’t get in ---

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming CCP for the servers being hit by 2 DDoS attacks, but it’s a little annoying being told that there’s no longer an issue when there clearly is one ---

@nezzymay_smit It isn’t right. That’s why DDOS’ing is a criminal offence in many countries - but it most certainly isn’t CCP’s fault, so why would you expect them to reimburse you ? ---

If everyone got reimbursed every time there was a DDoS attack, it would just incentivise people to launch more DDoS attacks ---

All these RW tears and flames against CCP for the DDOS. Come one guys, CCP is being RW ganked at their own RW network gates and most are blaming CCP? I see so little tears against those who are actually causing the problem. Rather most seem to be crying foul for CCP having troubles shutting down the DDOS. Has any of those members who are tearing up actually had to fight a RW DDOS? It is a notoriously difficult task that obviously CCP is working to resolve otherwise there would not be any updates or posting related to the issue. Yes, many of us pay to play and while it would be nice for CCP to compensate for our loss of time to get to play the game. However, the best thing they can do at the forefront is to be sure they learn how this particular DDOS is occurring and what it took to shut it down so as to prevent another one. ---
