EVE Online and Dust 514 servers under DDoS attack, offline

4.5
CCP Games pulled the servers for EVE Online and Dust 514 offline following a DDoS attack this weekend, the EVE Online Facebook page reads. CCP is investigating the attack.

"With the highest sense of precaution we have taken Tranquility and associated websites back down for further investigation and an exhaustive scan of our entire infrastructure," CCP writes. "We will update you more frequently via our Twitter feed, however, an extended service interruption of several hours is expected as this process should not be rushed."

EVE Online is an MMORPG for PC, and Dust 514 is a PS3 FPS set in the EVE universe and using the same server cluster. Dust 514 launched a few weeks ago, on May 14, and it is free-to-play – though perhaps that freedom is limited right now.

VEVO That's gonna piss off a lot of players. WHY do they DDoS? Majority of the time is without reason. Just randomly done at the sake of being a ****.


This is what people do when they have nothing else to do. It's sad, but true.

I really don't understand why people do stuff like this. I can see doing it for monetary gain or for scaring people into think their accounts aren't safe but on a video game?

To get a point across. Maybe even to make a company increase their security.
