Major Game DDOS last night

So a group named LizardSquad went around DDOS-ing some big games last night. WoW, Runescape, and League of Legends were all effected for different periods of time.

Mildly annoying at most, but sucked cause they kicked me off when I was about to level up :(

These people need to lay off DDOSing stuff.

Amazon is still the biggest target and the biggest payoffs for these guys. It's pretty ridiculous. I had it happen to a server of mine a while ago, not fun at all, especially if you don't have the resources like Amazon does to combat it.

It is getting pretty bad these days. VISA was hacked recently and wouldn't you know I went on a shopping spree 1500 miles away the next day. They took the info and uploaded it to a dumby card. I feel most games get hacked because people don't like losing.

Happened to my Amex when Target was hacked last December.

All I can think about when I think of hackers is the amount of intelligence they're letting go to waste over the dumbest ****. "Oh man, I just DDoSed a game. Huehuehue. Derp-de-derp."

Freaking morons could be working with computers for a living, getting PAID for it and making a difference in the world of technology. Instead they'd rather sit at home and hack stuff, like that's never been done before, and then circle jerk about how cool they are -__-

Its silly how they say they are with the IS and that they will keep on doing it until USA stops bombing the terrorists.



Bloody nutjobs >:(

That sounds.... painful :P

Hopefully they decide to leave Diablo 3 alone today. I just want to play a season character in peace :/

I actually just changed majors in college to Cyber Security, pretty excited for it.

I always thought hacking something huge then circle jerking about it seemed kinda fun lol.
