TGYuurei 10 Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Still nothing to do with APB, it's not like it is the same guy DDoSing Runescape. (Very unlikely at the least)_ APB has always suffered from DDoS.. LO needs to take a page or two from some company's books, like NFOServers for instance, they have great filtering. Edited June 29, 2018 by TGYuurei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isn't exactly hard to do and it's something that is hard to stop so people will always DDoS for their own twisted personal sense of justice. But yeah, it's not like it is the same people DDoSing both games. Also I heard that Classic Runescape is shutting down soon? Maybe it's because of that?

They will do it till the government makes "Attacking a specific Individual or Product's Connection" a criminal offense. Heck a few places started making "Creation of cheats" a Criminal offense.

Heck a few places started making "Creation of cheats" a Criminal offense. It is a criminal offense in most countries. In America it falls under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, pretty sure we have a Computer Misuse Act here in the UK if I remember rightly and there are similar Laws all over the EU. If nothing else, I imagine it probably falls under harassment laws too. The problem is that it is often very hard to track down the attackers and DDoS attacks don't seem to be taken very seriously by the authorities. (Not that it is really their fault as they probably don't have the resources in order to investigate these attacks.) Also the punishment for committing DDoS attacks is often just a fine or minimum jail time unless the incident is as serious as being a government target. It just seems like something that is destined to continue happening as there just isn’t ways to catch those who do it. Most companies just plan to mitigate attacks but like I said this can be expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAmIs 4 Posted June 29, 2018 Osrs is always getting ddosed. Like literally always... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madelite 0 Posted June 29, 2018 It is also illegal under financial damage, as a company (for example a game developer) loses money from DDoSing. But yes, most countries (if not all) have some sort of computer abuse act nowadays as well, specifically aimed at DDoSing, Virus spreading and so on. As long as they don't DDoS Hentaihaven I'm fine.
