Who is ddosing molten

We are working to maintain realms and services online. We're working on countermeasures. DoS attack has been mitigated, but is not over yet. While listening to this as usual. We're implementing multiple solutions. Hold steadfast while we work to mitigate the flood. And who can be behind this DoS.. Many of you will thing that are other servers owners. DDOS is a basic but formidable attack.

Someone that is actually "Attacking" this private server for a reason? Is it from other "Competitors" servers? From Blizzard itself? From a stupid Troll? By the way, i'm not criticizing Warmane Staff or something, they deserve some respect after all they've done Maintaining this Realms and Community after Molten's Disaster , i just want to know more about this.

We are working to try to restore service. We have experienced further severe attacks at approx and which caused more disconnects and login issues that also affected the EVE website. Attacks resumed at approximately UTC [January 28] and [are] causing widespread connectivity issues.

Our engineers are working on the problem right now. Player groups large and small have warned their members to avoid undocking their expensive assets, up to and including supercarriers and titans. Just a FYI in case anyone is not aware. INN will report on any new developments in this sustained DDoS attack as further information becomes available. Let your voice be heard!

Once the attack was detected, GitHub enlisted the help of mitigation service Akamai Prolexic, which routes traffic through its larger network and blocks malicious requests. There were a number of defensive strategies employed to combat the attack. These are database caching systems, which are left open to the public internet without any authentication requirements in place.

According to The Register , there are thousands of these vulnerable systems online at present, meaning new ways for DDoS attacks to be carried out without the need for a massive botnet, which is how the attack on DNS services company Dyn was carried out. While this attack was more severe, services were again restored quickly. Comparative charts of both attacks can be seen here.
