Was the DDoS attack just some random kids wanting to DDoS something for teh lulz? Or was it something more sinister...

Wasn't there a big null sec battle just before the DDOS?

Naturally, that leads to speculation that one side meta-gamed and used DDOS to buy time to get more players/push the battle past the other side's peak time

that would be really dumb because just as last year's ddosers found out, there are consequences ... Bubba will have fresh jail meat soon

Honestly I'm not sure this information will be publicly released by CCP even if they do find out. They could be opening themselves up for legal troubles by doing so. Say they release names of who did it, and then someone were to attack that person IRL. I'd like to know as much as you, just for closure's sake, but I doubt we will find out any time soon, and if we do it will be from public court records most likely.

It was not a DDoS attack but someone or a group that was able to exploit a vulnerability to some back-end services.

Start the day off slow and taper off from there.

I don't care who it was, they need to be found and punished to the fullest extent of the law, if for no other reason than the crime of making me expose myself to the cancer causing rays of that "Luminous sky-blob" (i've heard-tell it was something called "the sun") and forcing me to participate in a neo-pagan ritual where I was forced to eat charred animal flesh (some primitive concoction know as bharr-bee-que or some such).

It's was barbaric...and delicious.

lulzec attacked eve two years ago I believe, together with PSN and a few other places-

They got into trouble for it, so this might not be too unrelated. The punishments align as well.

More likely it was a RMT group up to there no-good tactics again. Seriously doubt it was any alliance.

Ok here comes the pooper, I was reading comments made on the twitter and Facebook what was amazing was how so many were making comments close to threats.
Saying what should happen to the perpetrator(s) of said ddos attack, yes they should be prosecuted and fined and jailed, but to say stuff like I wish I could find them to do X is over the top, but I did admire how many kept their composure.
CCP is no more guilty for an idiot then any other entity when such a fool decides to poop on the floor.

In other news, my neck hurts because I had to actually move it up from the screen...ouch.

BTW I lost 2 full jet cans of the Holy Veldspar I will now commence 1000 hail Marys.

I agree as they have a vested business interest. It's no secret that (effective) DDoS attacks involve both risk and resources, and last I checked, money and anger were prime motivators.

It states in the first sentence it was a DDoS. The whole point of DDoS is to exploit a vulnerability to gain access.

There was a big TEST/CFC/NC fight in NOL-9 just as things were crashing. It got weird.
