EVE General Discussion

I very much see CCP as a vendor offering me Software As A Service. Whilst I commend CCP for all of their hard work, and totally appreciate why they disconnect the cluster from the internet during the DDOS; it does **** me off that they haven't put adequate protection in place to stop this from happening.

They take a serious amount of money from us, the least they could do is protect their network from such attacks.

CCP I suggest you look into buying something like Cisco IPS Intrusion Detection System devices, then use a third party such as Qinetic to monitor your network for such attacks. As is you have failed the community a second time. Get your 5h1t sorted out!

Thank you CCP for all your hard work, I know this must have been tasking for you guys. As a character that lost SP as a result of the extended downtime I don't blame CCP I blame the jerks the DDoS'd us, I would personally like to make them pay for what they have done.

Great work, thanks for all the overtime / effort put in to make it stable again. And good luck on the Oddessy deployment, if that is still planned for tomorrow.

Ignorance!

Trying to secure a server or worse a network is like trying to secure your house. If someone wants to break into your house bad enough, there is not a damned thing you can do to prevent it, at some point driving a truck through the front door negates all attempts to stop an intrusion.

Same thing with computers, servers, and networks.

It's simple for you to suggest what CCP should do to prevent this type of thing, yet you don't even know how they were comprised, nor what type of equipment they use against this type of attack.

Considering how many government networks, financial institutions, major corporations have all suffered from DDoS attacks, it should stand to reason by example that it's near impossible to stop someone from attacking your network or IP address. Gaining access or "hacking" into a network is something utterly different, this was just an attack, but one which could be said choked the connection to the point it caused connection issues.

And if you have not already figured it out for yourself, let me say this yet again. The entire point of the attack was most likely done to cause people like you to point your finger at CCP, in anger, when it was really the fault of whoever attacked the server in the first place. Don't be manipulated by the attacker, why not instead use reason, understand what was done and the most probably reason why, and place blame squarely where it should be placed.

Great job CCP!
Anyone working in IT business can imagine how difficult it has been to fix this issue.
Thanks for all the effort the last 2 days!

Thanks CCP, We really appreciate you for getting back online so quickly. What a nasty attack. Anyways, much love from us, the players. Compensation is nice, but not necessary since this wasn't your fault.

I hope the perps of this attack die in a fire, slowly.

Was interesting, CCP receives a DDoS Attack.

And 90% of the forum threads demand SP.


Ransom?

I would have like to post to the previously connected thread to this! HALP is on it's way :)

Hmmmm, how very strange. Frigate Wreck (from ship that died early yesterday) is still there. WH exit is in same place in W-space, but the K-space end has moved.

In my case I figure if i am going to look at a toon all the time, in the corner, it should be a she and she should be hott.
