DoS attack on ESOC

Hello peeps,
as you may have noticed, the ESOC website has been under a denial-of-service attack for the past day, resulting in a lot of downtime on the services we normally offer. Our team has fought a tough battle with the attackers to bring ESOC back online and keep it that way (thanks Buckethead for helping out!). Unfortunately, I cannot yet say we are safe, but know that we are doing all we can to stay afloat and add protective measures against these types of attacks.
Please stay patient and be careful to not lose any important unsaved posts as we work through this issue, since there may be periods of downtime again.
Thank you for understanding.

Nope, we don't have clear evidence pointing to anyone at this time.

Even dead games' communities aren't safe.
ELO was also down for a little bit today, coincidence?

We know who was behind the DoS attacks. It was not diarouga, but I don't think I'm allowed to say who it was, so I won't. There's no need to accuse diarouga without any proof or knowledge of the situation, though.

ESOC itself conducted this attack to make madrouga seem more guilty. Unfortunately it backfired as rouga was streaming simulatenously. 10 /10 for effort , 1/ 10 for execution. Better luck next time !

When in doubt, blame the guy always preaching he wants "revenge". Seems reasonable.

not saying he did it, but why can't you ddos + stream? isnt ddos something you set up and then let happen while you go drink a coffee + have a 1 hour shit mcjim style?
