Last night, they managed to down the Dota 2, League of Legends, Battle.net, Club Penguin, and World of Tanks servers. As of now they are back up, however they've now targeted Runescape. The Runescape servers are currently down.

It's amazing what these people are doing, not good amazing, but amazing that their pulling this off. According to their twitter, they managed to evade police by wearing suits because no criminals wear suits, according to them.

The even bigger issue, their taking requests from people. Who knows what gaming server will be next! Let's all hope that Nintendo Network doesn't face another outage...unless the Christmas outage was a ploy and it was actually these people!


Update: At around 1:55pm, Police managed to tail this group and seize 3 of their machines

Seems more like reddit cancer.  I remember when 4chan used to do this every so often, sometimes they actually mange a site going down every so often.

 

Anyways, they aren't really "hackers".  Just a quick look shows that they just use wi-fi from places like starbucks and DDOS.

 

Pretty sure Nintendo Network won't be next unless their server can be easily be DDOSed, I remember nothing about Nintendo Network.

battle.net is back up. as for the others, i have no idea.

 

i wish they would target BF4 servers, those would get a much better response.

PSN was supposinly took down.
