It’s pretty cheeky of them to do this on the first day of the Open beta, along with Warcraft’s new expansion, those servers are already being basically DDoSed by all the gamers connecting, so this is really a case of the straw the broke the camel’s back. IMO doesn’t really show off any robustness of their platform, make them look like weaksauce script-kiddies.
Well if you think about it this IS a beta test giving them a taste of launch day server loads.
Just a bunch of nobodys that think DDoSing something makes them cool. Not worth the time to visit their page.
at their best. Surely I will meet them in hell.
Is that why it says “failed to connect to ea” all the time?

sucks to be us today!
hope the authority add a little lead into there diet when they are caught
It’s just a bunch of little script kiddies trying to make a name for themselves, but just looking dumb in the process. Anyone can DDoS, I’ll never understand why people think it makes them special.
Bet they are CoD lovers #RIPCoD
“Remember that time we stopped people from playing a video game? Man, I’m so famous and rich now.” ~~ No one ever.
Yeah..doubt it.
Pathetic…
Twitter should block their accounts like they do terrorists..
Well, it was commonly assumed that back when BF3 was taking the crown away from the CoD franchise, the BF master server would get DDoSed on any double XP weekend, also coincidentally whenever CoD had a beta, or an event, or a launch.
The important thing to remember about that was that it was a DoS attack (not DDoS), which means that they traced the attack back to just one IP address. It was one super server/computer that took down the BF master server 5 years ago over and over, which would lend itself to being well-funded, hence the assumption that Zampella was not-so secretly behind it.
This time it’s different, it’s just some kids who want publicity for their product. Have them try and take down a server that’s not already at 99% load capacity LOL. noobs.
Sad little script kiddies. Gonna laugh when they get jailed.
Any word on when this is going to let up? anyone else have information on this?
