Game is under attack once again

**CeFurkan** · (This post was last modified: 2012-08-09, 07:53 PM by CeFurkan.)

The safe guard software that i developed closed server in order to prevent harm. Check once a while to see whether server opened or not.

also other games are also under attack. pokemon online games

probably one another game is attacking these games including us

here a text from one another pokemon online game

Recent downtimes/DDoS attack
Alright, time to explain some things. The people who liked us on facebook already know.

The downtimes of a week ago and this morning is because someone is
attacking us with a DDoS attack. (Tens of thousands of computers
spamming the server basically)

We are up right now for a couple of hours again luckily. This doesn't
necessarily mean that we are protected for future attacks. How much I
want it, it's just nearly impossible to protect against such attacks.

Another note, a lot (talking about 4-6) of other online Pokémon RPGs
have also been DDoSed. We've got ourselves a Pokémon RPG hater, or a
jealous colleague.. Wink

Ah... so it was supposed to be attacked, but the new software shut down
the server instead to prevent from being attacked... nice software

So we'll be playing soon enough... and hopefully, these attacks will stop...

heatshot · 2012-08-09, 06:49 PM

:S It's terrible.

yes. basically software is checking 7/24 and as soon as detects attack started close server connection in order to prevent any possible damage

You mean before this happened? Yeah, some complained that their pvp is terribly lagging. Prior this attack, there was some terrible lagging at the moment.

Probably just means the attacker was trying to hide the attack better than the last times so Cefurkan didn't have time to respond. Luckily, the new software was in place and worked, but basically, it sounds like this jerk is just practicing. Hopefully, new software will make him find a new target to test his attack on.

That really does suck... and now I'm bored with nothing to do. Sad

**CeFurkan** · 2012-08-09, 07:28 PM

3000$ a month, You can barely afford what you need for the game, what exactly are you going to do???? and the 3000$ a month is going to the attackers? or to someone to protect the site? with some sort of software thats better?

heatshot · 2012-08-09, 07:39 PM

It is for protect the site I think, it must be

i hope it is, i would never pay a cent to someone who attacks my game..... (speaking as if i was CeFurkan..)

heatshot · 2012-08-09, 07:43 PM

Of course , CeFurkan dont pay it to attackers, it's impossible. CeFurkan is protecting the game.

i might be wrong, but it could be a team.. like, some guys who decided "hey, lets annoy as many as possible, and shut down some mmo's..."

it could be, but i think its leaning more to bots instead of a team
