Thread: great stuff happening in cabal eu

  1. #11
    Since almost a week CABAL EU is under a DDos attack. At first impression it seems to be a frustrated "kid" that wants revenge, but GM and some of us players think there is much more behind it.

    Since a few weeks GM received/made some new screening tools that seems to be very effective in weeding out the bots. And just before the attacks started, GM Renovatio admitted having "cleaned up" all the goldfarmers stashes, alz and accounts... So obviously, it is more in that direction, one of organised crime, that one has to look to find the motivation behind such a large scale attack.

    to make it clear : a DDos attack is like causing a huge traffic jam at the servers ports/operation and involves thousands + of "enslaved" Pc (virus infected PC's) that work in a bot-net. The result is that players can no longer enter the game, due to the traffic congestion, and it often ends with the server going on its knees and rebooting...
    Considering the involved scale of the attack,which is massive, it is clear that there is organised crime behind it and that GM is not dealing with some lonely cyber punk

    It is a very serious offence and if they catch the guy(s) he's/they're in for a rough ride, legally...
    As there was an attempt for blackmailing, that specific message was tracable to Sicily, Palermo...
    Remains to be seen if that is indeed the place where he lives... Considering his obnoxious and taunting posts on the forum, it seems indeed to be an Italian, with a very poor understanding of english...
    As far as we know from GM, no one has been caught yet.. but the wheels of justice are slow turning...

    at this very moment , GM has brought down the servers (both game and forum) and is upgrading some hardware... prob in an attempt to stop the DDos attacks..

    so here you have it...

    I always visit, it just depends on if I want to say anything
    Being full of yourself online is fine, since you know in the real world you are nothing.

    Still can't get on the forums though, but this sounds rough. When you say "makes the server go on its knees and reboot, do you mean like crash and everybody lose everything?

    That is a horrible assumption. We block numerous amount of accounts each day. We blocked accounts based on our own investigation and player reports.

    These Alz selling companies will continue to create massive amount of account and will always try to find a way to bypass our security measures. This issue can't just be resolved by blocking those accounts. Players need to stop purchasing Alz from these Third Party Websites.

    Without the demand, there is no need to supply.

    He's a scumbag, he'd rather whine and nitpick. Instead of just reporting the player, he'd rather run his mouth about it.

    So what your saying is you have sent 0 tickets therefor you have 0 room to complain
    In fact you are making it worse by not sending in the ones you see everyday that the Gms miss
    Just saying lazy gives no room for complaints
