chris_heyward 47 Posted January 1, 2014 I can't find a thread about this but I thought I'd let the devs and others know that the downtime was due to a DDoS attack from a hacker group called DERP. https://twitter.com/DerpTrollingThey have spent the past few days f*cking up all MMO servers/websites and its more than likely going to continue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linfosoma 38 Posted January 1, 2014 Are those the same guys messing up the Rust servers? Because if so they are seriously rustling my jimmies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris_heyward 47 Posted January 1, 2014 I don't think so no. They have taken down all things EvE Online, WoW, DOTA2, Guild Wars 2, Runescape and World of Tanks. There may be others but that's all I can remember. Oh and they personally targeted a Twitch.tv streamer and forced him to play DOTA 2. If he won, they would leave it alone and if he lost, DOTA 2 would get screwed and he lost. They also got the guy arrested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevsta545 451 Posted January 1, 2014 ^^ yep. They made the twitch streamer be put in jail today. Deep has been taking down crazy amounts of game related servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
