Steam Servers Go Down As Users Face Disconnection Issues

4.6

Steam has been facing disconnection issues since 7:42 AM EDT. Steam users took to NeoGAF to confirm the issue and several users commented on how they randomly disconnect from the Steam Servers and are unable to reconnect. Several popular Dota personalities have tweeted about the steam servers going down. Famous Dota 2 caster, Toby Dawson (TobiWan) experienced issues during his livestream.

It seems that the hacker group known as PoodleCorp, is responsible for the Steam services going down. PoodleCorp was behind the DDoS attack on the Pokemon GO servers, which resulted in players not being able to connect to the Pokemon GO servers, however, the issues have since been been resolved. Valve has resolved any issues that the users have been facing and Steam services are back to normal.

Yay we wasted like 2 days to take down a server for 50 seconds! Just sad and pointless, like a pencil.

Script kiddies with a wide-band resolver is all they are, their talent could go to such lengths, but no, they'd rather annoy people who did nothing to them in the first place

Yeah, heard about PoodleCorp got hold of the servers and put the servers off for four hours I believe? They're planning to take off the servers for a long period next time for Pokemon GO. I think they said more than 12 hours which is a huge amount of time for a server to go offline. Fair play to them they know what they're doing. It's funny they're doing it over a phone app.

LOL
