EVE Online and related services are currently experiencing service interruptions. We are working diligently to prevent further interruptions. We have taken the API offline at this time and hope to return it to service shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will have service restored as soon as possible.

---

How many SP do we get refunded if the EVE API goes down when we PAY for it?

About 20 minutes ago, the group teased it would strike against EVE Online again when it tweeted: ôThe EVEning is approachingàö

The official website for the game was down for a few minutes as well, although Lulz claimed it was not responsible for that end of the outage.

Just a few moments ago the group tweeted: ôEve Online login servers are completely obliterated, looks like their website got knocked off via overkillàEve website may or may not work off and on; weÆre not actually hitting it, their stuff is so crappy that it goes down with the logins.ö

Yesterday the group hit Minecraft, League of Legends, EVE Online and The Escapist with DDoS attacks.

As of now, the EVE Online website is back up, but Tranquility, the main game server is up and down sporadically.

If you havnt registered your email on any eve related sites, then thats a worry
If you havnt named your email the same as your char names, then thats a worry
If you ahvnt named your email the same as your account name, then thats a worry.


If I get a email like that, then I know the emails where compromised (or more), cuz it is not used anywhere else and not even close to account names or char names.

Epic was DDOSed the same day as CCP, Epic lost emails and passwords. Forced all users to reset. Lulz never leave empty handed.

I have reported @LulzSec to Twitter and the reply from them said "As a policy, we do not mediate content, including potentially offensive content. Twitter provides a communication service that allows controversial posts even though some may disagree with the content. We understand that everyone has different levels of sensitivity towards content, and that you may feel uncomfortable with the posted content. If there is something that you donÆt agree with, or find insulting, itÆs best to block that user."

Lulzsec also have an IRC channel and a chat area at irc.lulzco.org and chat.lulzco.org which they advertised in a tweet. Both URLs DNS to IP addresses of servers run by a hosting company Gigenet in Illinois. I contacted Gigenet's online support team and reported to them that their servers were being used by LulzSec and they basically said they didn't monitor what their customers did and unless their TOS were broken, they weren't interested. I kept a copy of the text chat I had with Gigenet and forwarded it to the FBI office in Chicago.

Haha, you watch too many movies.

I've seen no evidence that they've done anything other than use tools that are freely available online to download and rent botnets - the moment they pull off something original then maybe but at the moment these are just script kiddies running other peoples scripts at that.

They may have done some research in order to feel ****y enough to think that they can permanently hide under the radar but computing savants they are not.

If Lulz ever take down STEAM, Valve would get something done about it. Valve has the money to do it.

But I don't think even LulzCannon can affect Steam, they have servers world wide, and I don't think the lulzcannon can take them all down.

I play a FPS online game called Deus Ex. Some years ago some noobs were DDoSing my server and others so a coder made a program which lolled at DDoS attacks and it worked 100% and still does.

Can CCP not make one?

I think the cia is the whole wrong adress for this issue.
It would be the FBI or homeland security if ccp was an american company.
I do not know if Iceland has similar institutes.

and to discredit Anon, in the continuing Political Wikileaks wars. remember Anon hit the payment providers that blocked WIkileaks donations, this is just a continuation of that. Governments against Wikileaks and now targeting (as nato stated publically) Anon.

Lulz is a bunch of ego maniacs that are easily coerced. Anon is not.

It deff seems that way. But what happens when there ego pops. Will the internets implode with it? I am sure they think so:)

Well, they obviously are existing only on the attention they're currently getting. They're using "hacking by request" on Twitter to gain fame and notoriety.

No next month subscription from me.

It will be over once they realize they're doing nothing but putting themselves into danger of getting caught. I think this has been going on for so long just because most of them are too young to see that they aren't actually anonymous at all.
Imho, they're youngbloods who just discovered all those little programs floating around the net and think they're "1337 h4(kz0rz", kind of like we all were when we were 20-30 years younger.

---

Wrong.
You're lacking knowledge.

They won't get caught that easily,
else they'd be in arrest already.

These are no script-kiddies.

They proclaimed themselves as a hard core of 4chan from "a hundred years ago" (2005 i believe).
That's ... not so funny, tbh.

No script kiddies.
Get your facts right.

To put this in simple terms; This is an interruption of international commerce by an Technologically adept terrorist group. I am also strongly of the opinion that such idiots should be wiped from existence, killed, snuffed, terminated, etc. All they will do is continue to do so, unless stopped. If I were one of the CEO's, COO's, CFO's, of any of the affected companies then I would be calling my fellow victims and pool our resources while lobbying my government(s) to get off their butts as these guys threaten all of us, and also hire our own detective firm. Offer large monetary rewards also works well for good information. Then with the list of guilty conspirators names that will always be found if enough effort is put forth - hire mercenaries/professional problem solvers if you will. Ideally the national intelligence groups would do the killing for the companies, they are much more efficient at plausible deniability."PROBLEM SOLVED" Quickly, efficiently and consistently each & every damn time.
When all such malicious hackers are treated this way then we will have much less volume to deal with. Would you risk your life if you knew this is what happens to you and your friends when caught?

Probably did it for a laugh and then discovered it was easy to get CCP to shut their whole network down, so they did it again. I doubt they're targeting Eve because they have something against it, it's easy publicity.

I hope CCP have a backup plan for AT this weekend in case it happens again. Maybe a Dev Q&A, Incarna talk, take questions from players and the experts/commentators in Iceland etc. (would be a fairly large audience too, because many players not interested in AT9 would probably tune in, as well as those who want to know wtf is going on). Could easily turn a negative event into a positive one - or at least a not so negative one!

Although if their network is down they probably won't be able to stream any video :(

please don't think that these guys are actually good. they're not
if you REALLY want to end up in jail for a long time (no, people like that don't get government jobs) then you can google yourself to this amount of knowledge
using other peoples tools and knowhow to get into places with penetrable security isn't magic
im not saying they are dumb, or that trained monkeys could do it, but any programmer can with some effort
there's a reason people don't do it, and certainly not brag about it: a single mistake and your life as you know it, is over

I don't think some of you really understand just how difficult tracking these people actually is.

I strongly suspect that they've co-opted one of the major botnets. For the uninitiated, a botnet is a large number of computers all affected by a specific strain of virus, with a listening protocol of some kind (the ghetto ones use an IRC channel, but there are more sophisticated and less obvious ways of doing it) by which a controller can give them instructions. This controller is sometimes itself an infected machine being given instructions remotely. When the correct command is given, they all execute it simultaneously - almost always a DDoS of some description. The IPs that the victim sees will be these infected machines, spread all over the world. Tracking the machine which sent the original command - and from there, tracking the human from which that command originated - is much, much harder.

Even if this is not the way they're doing it, I very highly doubt LulzSec are just running LOIC from their home PCs. They're narcissistic, arrogant and reckless but they're not stupid.

No it isn't.

The governments WANT ANON, not Lulzsec. Lulz actually is useful for the governments, soon the people will be crying for the governments help (they are now) to CLAMP DOWN on INTERNET TERRORISTS.

Anyway, to find them just follow the sound of cackling and swelling egos.

The CCP Security Task Force reports that all servers and services are functioning normally. Thanks again for your patience.

EVE Online and related services are currently experiencing service interruptions. We are working diligently to prevent further interruptions. We have taken the API offline at this time and hope to return it to service shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will have service restored as soon as possible.

16. You may not do anything that interferes with the ability of other EVE Online subscribers to enjoy the game or web site in accordance with its rules. This includes, but is not limited to, making inappropriate use of any public channels within the game and/or intentionally creating excessive latency (lag) by dumping cargo containers, corpses or other items in the game world.

17. You may not engage in any activity that increases the difficulty and/or expense of CCP in maintaining the EVE Online client, server, web site or other services for the benefit and enjoyment of all its users.

21. You will not attempt to decipher, hack into or interfere with any transmissions to or from the EVE Online servers, nor will you try to create or use any third party add-ons, extras or tools for the game.

25. CCP reserves the right to close, temporarily or permanently, any userÆs account without advance notice as we deem necessary. Furthermore, we reserve the right to delete all user accounts or inventory of characters as warranted.
