Well, as some of you know, the log in servers of LoL (at least EU) are currently down. Along with Eve Online, Minecraft, and Escapist Magazine.

This isn't due to hacking or whatever, it was a simple DDoS attack that brought them offline.

http://twitter.com/LulzSec

You know what I find ironic? The fact that Jozreal, a server engineer, who is the same one to ask on the forums what the problem seems to be, is following LulzSec on twitter.

If you don't know who LulzSec are, then you've been living under a rock for the past month or so...

I don't see what's wrong with Jozreal following Lulzsec on Twitter. Althought giving them +1 follower is supporting them, Jozreal can kinda see them coming in a way.

What's Lulzsec?

I have little interest in many areas of society, the news and twitter are included in these.

Exactly.

I'd much rather say "Hey Lulzsec, are you going to DDoS us?" and then have them say "Yeah" than not know at all, and freak out every time it happens.

If anything, it's Jozreal keeping up with current events.

Basically replace the word "Lulzsec" with "Anonymous 4chan hackers" and you've got a pretty accurate idea.

I know, I just think it's pretty ironic.

That's like Batman following The Joker on Twitter, or something.

So, does that mean everyone's info's about to get leaked?

I'm assuming you don't know what DDoS means.

Basically, they just send thousands of logins to the server at once in order to crash it.

No hacking, no fancy stuff, they just took the server down for a few minutes/hours.

Also, Lulzsec hasn't released any personal info about victims of their exploits.


Something to be noted as well.

Lulzsec so far, hasn't actually hacked anyone yet, it's all been DDoS, or social hacking that anyone on the street could have done with their resources.

If anything, the big companies only have something to worry about if they are being stupid.
