I'm having trouble connecting to AG and when I do(as in now) everything is fuzzy and it's really slow. this has been happening for a few days but there is nothing wrong with my computer. Any help please?
@Ferret Its working alright. Thanks. But DDoS has more than just attack these *cough* websites... I think It attacked many more. Its not the first time however. I fear we may be in battle against DDoS...*cough cough*
A DDoS is a type of attack, or weapon, mean people use to shut down websites. It was in fact a DDoS attack that shut us down. We've put protection in place however, so hopefully we won't be seeing any further attacks of this nature. The images should start showing up again soon, everything else seems to be cooling down.
"A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack occurs when multiple systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system, usually one or more web servers.This is the result of multiple compromised systems (for example a botnet) flooding the targeted system with traffic. When a server is overloaded with connections, new connections can no longer be accepted." ~Wikipedia
Hey guys, I'm glad you were able to overcome the attack. It's ****ty when good places like Armor Games are threatened by such a terrible pandemic. This kind of thing is destroying League of Legends and is even finding its way into every Blizzard game amongst many others at the moment.
I definitely think it is worth putting up those defenses and fortifying however you can for future attacks. These guys do not stop once they find a weakness.
