For the past several weeks, Tranquility has been the target of a persistent series of DDOS attacks, which have been responsible for connection issues that our players have been experiencing.
Up until this point, for security reasons we have been referring to these attacks as GÇ£network issuesGÇ¥ so as not to provide the attackers with increased visibility. However, we can see that these issues are at times proving to be frustrating for our players, and as such we would like to be more transparent about the issue to allow better understanding of the situation.
Our teams have been working tirelessly to address these attacks, but by their nature they are extremely difficult to predict. We will continue to counter these attacks as they occur, in our efforts to provide you as much uninterrupted internet spaceship fun as possible.
Thank you for your understanding, and apologies for any inconvenience the interruptions have been causing.

Thanks for that update. I think a lot of folks suspected as much, but it's good to get an official confirmation.
Hope the countermeasures go well. Dealing with a DDOS attack can be frustrating, to put it mildly. |

I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!
As if we didn't already know. CCP may have a lot of internal issues, but you aren't this bad for this long.
Trying to mask this issue from the start was silly. Dozen's of "dropped" postings inside and outside these forums pretty much lets the DDOS's hear what they want to hear. CCP .. always first with the wrong stuff CSM .. CCP Shills with a vacation plan

Did wonder why tracerts were getting diverted to vrsn (VeriSign) domains whenever there were connection problems - ddos protection I guess. |

Hate to have to ask but is there no hope for better mitigation in the near future? Constant downtime is really getting infuriating as I'm always either losing a ship to it or losing out on relic sites. |

So lets see, whom did CCP annoy in the last ~2 month? Seems to be a personal issue, since script-kiddies wouldn't be that persistent with an Online Game. I can think of one candidate in particular.
Edit: someone spilled the name already :) |

TLDR enough players have cancelled their subs with the socket closed problem as the reason. Since we don't want to get fired we will finally tell the players what is actually happening... once again business as usual in the CCP offices. |

can we get a db pull on how many pirate battleships have died to incursion rats while this has been going on? I feel thats the one positive thing here that we must all focus on. |

Yar, TQ just did the currently popular kick 'n' crash routine on me too - as did forums for a good few minutes.
Maybe instead of having ISD sweep legitimate threads reporting user issues under the carpet all week - we're not talking about reposting stuff from existing topics, but different people providing good detail on multiple issues - it might have been better to be honest about it earlier. Your players deserve better than being cursively dismissed with a non-explanatory lock when they're trying to help and provide/discuss information on a perceived technical fault.

Everyone knew already it was a DDoS attack. Obvious is obvious. No ISP is THAT incompetent with routing over a prolonged time span. |

Reliable sources inform me that the DDOS attacks are actually the American NSA trying to gain access to ingame player data such as Evemail. EvilAmericans# NSATakeover# SaveEVE# CCPFalconBestCCP# |

Can't we immunize the hamsters with some sort of vaccine or something? I mean, they must already be pretty autistic seeing the nature of their work so it wouldn't do any harm even if the anti-vax-wackos were right. |
