2018/05/10 - Connectivity Issues - DDoS Attack

well it’s still up so in some sense it’s still OK, but when you also see something like

Current vs. 30 min avg: -47.1%

well that’s probably not okay

yup, TQ is down… guess I’ll have to try this thing called “Outside”. I hear the graphics are great but the gameplay sucks.

better get that ticket drafted :frowning:

The name Operation: Conscious Interruption was chosen deliberately and CCP are actually trolling us. On the 15th they will biomass all our characters and Hilmar will retire somewhere in South America.

Other CCP-sites are sluggish, too, not only EVE itself, e.g. https://engine.extccp.com

As based on what you wrote this seems like a rare occurrence for you maybe have a shower first, just a tip. :slight_smile:

https://secure.eveonline.com is unusable, too.

just the tip? OK…

Wish someone would make an eve like game that was actually stable and employed engineers that could mitigate the damages of a 20 year old attack vector… holy ■■■■.

Of course, but that is not what I meant. It is the difference between “I can play” and “Tranquility is Ok”. :wink:

Sah’raSah_ra , yeah but then we would have to pay for the game … oh hold on … we do pay for it … weird

I think if anyone could mitigate the effects of a DDoS, the NSA would like a word with them… as it is, service providers can do nothing but weather the storm

So it is a DDOS. What the hell is wrong with these people.

I am online again.

Seems EVE is back.

I would love to find the DNS attackers and tickle and tickle them to death with a feather or something good Lord does DNS then getting old

You’re correct, the attack used is decades old.

Ever thought about the fact that mitigation / scrubbing puts an additional layer between you/us and the cluster which will make you post something about better network code/programmers since it’s laggy when a DDoS happens ?

Eish, some people really. Spoiling our fun and entertainment. What a bitter world! Thanks CCP for the switft response!
