You’re obviously trolling, but I feel people who read the forums deserve a counterpoint to your crazy claims. 1. Multiple people including myself have observed network traces showing very conclusively where the traffic drops during connectivity issues. This is very clearly and conclusively a DDoS. Anyone can verify this using simple tools. 2. Care to share the “security websites” that monitor ongoing DDoS, the data sources that they use, and the scope of their monitoring? You are spreading unsubstantiated fear, uncertainty, doubt. Not what we need right now. Edit: Since I’m asking you to show your work - I’ll share mine. This is what a connection drop looks like right now. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/4/9/497695ad7569028e268658bb7417f49fa64baad4.png) ---

Unless… COVID19 mutated from a bio-virus to electronic and is attacking CCP servers, on its way to taking out all the electronics in the whole world… … OK, will someone please get me back in the game. Lockdown is bad enough, but lockdown without EVE, its clearly scrambling my brain. I feel like a hyperactive 10 yo with ADHD. Getting bored now… does it show yet? 😛 ---

Whoa there, Connection is not as good as I thought. I bought a Gold Starter pack over an hour ago, and I have the receipt from 19:43 EVE time. It is 21:03 and no goodies have shown up despite relogging 3 times. Soooo, maybe you have a problem with connection of the payment server to the game server? ---

You’re asking me to show that there are NOT indicators on the seven main industry sites that show global DDoS attacks? You’re kidding right? Just because YOU show ping problems doesn’t mean there’s an external problem. CCP is perfectly capable of having messed up their internal server-to-server communication badly enough that they disrupt their own network. Google “DDoS heatmap” and work out from there. There are six or seven that are very accurate and operate in real time. I won’t list them here and I won’t make a recommendation as to which is the most accurate or relevant (that’d be violating a trust). But there are companies out there, mostly remediation and anti-virus companies, that post this information publically with both real-time and historical data. There is no DDoS attack. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/0/f/0f0b94a0e30595941c6c8ef8a202b064a62cf9d8.jpeg) The packet losses you’re seeing there are internal to NTT, a mitigation service, not from outside. My guess is that NTT has some filtering going on that’s taking too long and packets are getting lost in the shuffle. Likely that’s the result of a datafile that CCP gave them that’s either not optimized or not complete. It would certainly at least partially explain why Omega accounts are hit harder by this. ---

Condescending non-answer to a legitimate question on sources you used to reach your conclusion. From my end, I’m using publicly available [Hurricane Electric looking glass service](https://lg.he.net/) to check routes from various [he.net](http://he.net) routers to CCP Tranquility. Makes it easy to see which geographic region is affected, and where traffic drops. You sound like a competent person so I’m not explaining this to you but showing my work for interest of whoever may read this. > [@Welton\_Cube](#): > > The packet losses you’re seeing there are internal to NTT, a mitigation service, not from outside. YES! Now we’re getting somewhere. NTT mitigation service is dropping packets… > [@Welton\_Cube](#): > > My guess is that NTT has some filtering going on that’s taking too long and packets are getting lost in the shuffle. What could be causing A [DDoS mitigation service](https://www.us.ntt.net/products/security-services/) to - intermittently and unpredictably - over-aggressively filter traffic? Denying service to clients who happen to hit that route? For the record, next hop should be **siteprotect.security.neustar**. > [@Welton\_Cube](#): > > Likely that’s the result of a datafile that CCP gave them that’s either not optimized or not complete.
