Steam, Origin Suffered DDoS Attack - briefly
(hx) 12:04 AM CET - Jan,04 2014 - Post a comment / read (2)
The servers for Steam, Origin, Battle.net, and League of Legends were brought down temporarily overnight by apparent DDoS attacks that seem to be related to a swatting attack on an individual known for streaming games. All of those services appear to be working normally as of this writing. A hacker group going by the handle DERP Trolling claimed responsibility for the Origin attack on TwitterTwitter users are claiming responsibility for last night's attack on Steam.

chris.allenSmack-Fu Master, in training:

I followed this situation very closely (I'm an avid League of Legends player) and can provide some additional insight as I was watching PhantomL0rd on Twitch at the time.

1. PhantomL0rd was not "illicitly" streaming games. He streams games for a living; this is his job.

2. The DERP Trolling group began the attack by taking down the LoL login servers, so that players were unable to log in.

3. PhantomL0rd was in contact with the DERP group during these events and they followed him to other games as he tried to play them (all the while, he was streaming this publicly). At one point, he was given a chance to prevent a server takedown by winning a Dota 2 game, but after his team began to lose the takedown happened anyway.

4. Each game he tried to play, they took down the game servers. This included multiple League of Legends regions, Dota 2 servers, Club Penguin, and others mentioned in the article.

5. Twitch eventually shut the stream down, but not until PhantomL0rd broke the Twitch personal stream concurrent viewer record.

Basically, while these events were going on, PhantomL0rd was getting tons of ad revenue and subscriber revenue by requiring any questions he asked DERP to be asked by subscibers to his channel ($4.99). He certainly made out like a bandit from this situation.

Oh, the wonders of services like Steam...
There's a reason for loving GOG.com...
