LulzSec attacks Escapist Magazine, EVE Online, and Minecraft
4.5
Hacker group LulzSec, the same group that's attacked Sony and Nintendo in the past, has tweeted that it's committed three distributed denial of service attacks against gaming companies today, bringing down EVE Online's Tranquility server, Minecraft's multiplayer services, and the Escapist Magazine's website. EVE Online's CCP has confirmed both the outage and the attack, the Escapist is unreachable at the moment, and Minecraft creator Notch says that things were down, but supposedly service has been restored.
LulzSec hasn't shared a reason for the attacks just yet, but we can only guess it's, as they say, "for teh lulz."
Update: The group has gone after Riot Games' League of Legends servers as well. Attempting to log in to the game gives a "server busy" message, though there's no official word from the company yet.
Crazywildbag anonymous should secretly try to find these guys
and then post there address on the net..
lulz is immature..
atleast anonymous was doing it for a reason
your rite about anonymous doing it for a reason
but not so sure about posting their addresses, dont get me wrong, anonymous should hack their servers and mess with them, but posting their addresses can lead to legal trouble and FBI getting involved
QuIcKsCoPeNiNjA what was anonymous's reason for hacking sony?
Because they took away a feature from the PS3 that was advertised with the console when people bought it. And despite calls for it to be returned they ignored them. It was for the option to run other OS's off the console,then when GeHotz modded the console to bring it back they sued him.
Lulzsec is not anonymous damn.
They DDoS'd them for blocking freedom,or freedom of speech,I can't remember exactly,but they had a legitimate reason.
