A hacker group going by the name of ‘DERP’ has targeted a bunch of online gaming servers for what appears to be a bit of ‘fun’.

Talking through their Twitter account, it seems like DERP decided to follow popular Twitch streamer PhantomL0rd and crash every game he was in, as well as randomly targeting a few sites. DERP took down League of Legends, Battle.net, EA.com and Club Penguin, with each of the services now up and down intermittently. PhantomL0rd talked to members of the group, who said they were doing it “for the lulz”.

Then, apparently, the police raided PhantomL0rd’s house, with the gamer saying:


just had an automatic pointed at me, put in hand cuffs and sat in the back of a cop car as I watched as 6 policemen go through my whole house.. will keep you all updated.

As far as we can tell, DERP has mostly been DDoSing the gaming companies – a distributed denial-of-service attack, where servers are overloaded by tons of activity – the approach used by Anonymous to bring down the PSN, as well as by LulzSec to bring down Sony websites, rather than the more sophisticated techniques unknown hackers used to infiltrate the PSN.

The idea that someone would ddos Club Penguin is kind-of psychotic. It's for little kids. I hope they throw away the key.

It's not like he's beating them up or anything like that. Little kids can go without Club Penguin for a few minutes without any psychological trauma.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Good job getting the servers back up again, esp considering the time and date.
