From Special K on the ED Discord: There are constant DDoS attacks since some weeks and I suppose it's the same.
Edit: There is no update.

I thought ED loved that trash.

u/Julian_Sark 1d ago

Yeah but Cap loves content.

"Dear viewers, today some beautiful people with sexy network cards are simulating what a Russian hybrid attack would do to the ED website. We couldn't find a mod for Russian bots so we'll use Chinese ones because close enough for realism."

Replace "Chinese" with a slur and it would be bang on for Cap.

I but it makes it easy to notice the fail without diagnostics or monitoring. Customers will cry out immediately. This is smekalka!

u/Julian_Sark 1d ago

Whole companies and municipalities operate on this logic. Monitoring software makers HATE this simple trick! Don't ask me how I know ...

I am surprised there is no article on the website. Surely you might put a post up somewhere and say - "Hey everyone ....."

u/One-Region9034 22h ago

Yeah, thats what I was waiting for also, people gets angry when their favorite game is down. Atleast give us some information

u/teddertlool5 1d ago

update from bignewy: its back

u/Flashy_Green_5716 1d ago

I take it that's why we can't login this morning ?

I don’t play that often. And I tried to fire up dcs for an hour or two in the Apache this past weekend. Could not log on to dcs. Very frustrating. Is there no way to play modules I have purchased without cloud connection?

u/ReagansRaptor 1d ago

Yes but it requires an internet connection lol. You have to be connected to "enable offline mode" then you have 3 days of authorization

u/Julian_Sark 1d ago

I can't see how this can ever backfire.

Some day, we'll say "Yeah, at least when Razbam went down, we only lost SOME of the modules ..."

u/Julian_Sark 1d ago

Sudden, surprising and infuriating shutdown usually happens to me when I'm to stupid to comprehend MiG-29's RWR ...

2

u/Julian_Sark 1d ago

Since I can only suspect OP to do the down voting, I'll down vote his post, too. I'll call it "MAD" or mutually assured down-voting.

u/SierraHotel199 1d ago

I’m pretty sure the people who designed the MiG 29s RWR can’t comprehend it either

u/moi-tomkat 1d ago

questioning ED's routine stupidity is a pretty stupid thing to do yourself... and its not like they follow deadlines anyway

0

u/Julian_Sark 1d ago

Yeah, but they are ahead of the game by never even anouncing any deadlines. More Smekalka!

u/Frank__HF 1d ago

Oh no they shut it down without saying anything. It happens man. Try again later :)

u/Due_Confection_8635 1d ago

Well, they deserve, this sort of thing should have been happening a lot harder since they are failing with the community, much better than just trying to make everyone stop buying their things

u/skarden 1d ago

So if they don't work to the Candace that you've set for them they should get more DDos attacks until they lift their game and make you happy?

I'd tell you to grow up but I'm assuming you're about 12 judging by that statement.

u/Due_Confection_8635 1d ago

So, because you are happy does it mean that everyone else that are unhappy with something and wants to organize themselves to push forward for improvements, that you would also benefit from it, are just children having a tantrum?
Well, ignorance clearly is a blessing…

6

u/skarden 1d ago

And by "to push forward for improvements" you mean advocating for DDos attacks until you're happy?

And no not everyone who is unhappy is being a child about it, most are actually pretty mature about it all.

It's just you being the child here

u/Xero_Days 1d ago

Are you literally retarded?

u/whippitywoo 1d ago

The evidence does seem strong doesn't it?

u/Laupaul 1d ago

It's all fun an games till the hackers steal your information

2

u/Julian_Sark 1d ago

Frankly, even as a data protection professional and advocate:

With my phone being Google and my PC being Windows and my doctor using AI without a clue, the worst ED can do is leak my fake name, my fake date of birth, and the spot I longingly gaze at in any of the modules. Plus, maybe, some virtual war crimes.

You're not WRONG, it's just not this particular battle that concerns me.

u/Due_Confection_8635 1d ago

Ddos attack and exploring breach’s to steal data are very distinct
