Just recieved this, this afternoon :
Quote: A message from our COO.
At 17:00 UTC today, CCP became aware of a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) against the EVE Online cluster and web servers.
Our policy in such cases is to mobilize a taskforce of internal and external experts to evaluate the situation. At 17:55 UTC, that group concluded that our best course of action was to go completely offline while an exhaustive scan of our entire infrastructure was executed.
While some may feel that such a drastic reaction was not warranted, it is always our approach to err on the side of caution in order to ensure the best possible service for our players and the security of their personal, billing and account information.
We understand the effect this disruption has had for our players and apologize for not having been able to explain fully to the community what was going on. In these cases it can often be counterproductive to containment to give out information while we are in the process of evaluating the scope of any potential problem.
Our taskforce concluded at 22:05 that neither the game servers nor the CCP infrastructure had been breached. Further, we can also confirm that some personal details such as users' credentials or credit card numbers were exposed through this incident.
Please check yourself if your personal details was compromised by visiting Account Management page. (link omitted).
The servers were brought back online at 23:00 and we will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Again, we sincerely apologize for this disruption.
Regards,
J=n H÷r=dal
Chief Operating Officer
The link takes you to a .co.de hosted website that spoofs Eve's Account Security page and asks you to log in.
THIS IS NOT AN E-MAIL FROM CCP!
Be vigilant of bastards like this trying to cash in on your account and ISK due to the unforeseen downtime.
Some ass holes just don't know when to quit.

Here's something to think about..
How did they get your email and know you play Eve to target you with a phishing mail?

bad people use bad grammar... ... personal details WERE stolen....
CCP should never send you an e-mail asking you to click on a link, they should direct you to go to the website on your own. They may or may not remember this basic part of security. But you should always consider any such e-mail suspect.
And yes always forward with all headers to [email protected] (and petition)

Ever used your email to register to some 3rd party site that was compromised ? There were quite a few. Ever used it to buy something EVE-related ? Ever posted something anywhere about EVE where your email was visible (like, say, ever asked for a buddy invite in another forum) ? Plenty of ways. _

Never ever click a link in an unsolicited email. Ever. The idiots in CCPs marketing dept (or whoever keeps sending those stupid surveys) should be made to write that 1.000 times.
Don't click on a link in an unsolicited email EVER.
Never. Ever.

The email it was sent to happens to be my character name @ a very well known free mail host you stupid tool.
I'll warrant you with a more civil response when you :
A) Post with your main. B) Learn to troll even half as competently as most on these forums.
Oh, and for reference, the mail was forwarded to CCP as soon as I saw it, you halfwit.

Tbh there are actually quite a few general never-do's with regard to pc security that we all have become aware of throughout the years. I am shocked that there isn't a mandatory course for grade school children on how to protect yourself. Its certainly more important that learning cursive. -------------------------------------------------

My account name is totally different, and the email account was set up specifically for use with Eve so I didn't have to use my ISP's email account, you massive idiot.

I guess all those WoW emails I get telling me to confirm my account details must be due to a leak on their servers too, cos holy crap, I have a WoW account...same with the ones from my bank....and those targetted Eve adverts I only get when I have an active eve account..
Consider 2 options:
1) People read about the DDOS attack, think "Lol, wonder if we can get some of them to provide login details", and send bulk phishing attempt
2) People who did ddos attack got details, but only managed to get email addresses.
Which of those seems more probable?
EDIT: Just checked the 5 email accounts I have for eve, no dodgy emails on them, annoyingly no offers of extension for body parts either :(

Pheeewwww, words can't express my relief. For a moment there I was worried that DeODokktor's e-mail address could've been compromised. Thanks for making a press release ASAP so we can all sleep again. --

People, keep posts on topic here and stop trying to troll Verone. He's trying to help the EVE Community and ultimately help protect all your stuff.
How else are we going to pirate it from you in game, eh?

And you wonder why you got a phishing email, to an email that matches your character name.

OR they sent massive emails to random emails in hope that some of them are Eve Players, because phishing is all about sending emails to a large pool to have few responses.
Hell, a lot of people get WoW emails and they never played that game.

So, where are the headers here?
It would help the "community" if you posted all headers here so WE know what to look for.
Troll on.

Me neither. Then again, I never got a facebook account, and don't remember registering anywhere on a 3rd party site with the email used to register to EVE. Thank you, free email service providers, for letting me have as many as I can remember (and then some). _
