"Quake Live" Having a Hard Time with Another DDoS Attack During Various Hours **UPDATES**

From Quake Live's Twitter Account, Comes the Message from id Software:

https://twitter.com/quakelive/status/560943050483335168


"QL is experiencing a DDoS attack and may be down intermittently while we seek to address the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience."




When we Have News about the Stablishing Network of Both Website and QL Game Servers and the Posterior Launch of the QuakeLive.exe, which Isn't Executable for the Moment, we Should Say Something about it, in this Post, Stay Tuned !

**UPDATE**


The DDoS Warning was actually Posted Last Night but, Users on the Quake Live Forums are still Complaining about Difficulty Connecting to the Game and according to Blue's, the Quake Live Website itself has also been Forced Offline at Times. I'm Compelled to Take a Moment to Note that, a DDoS Attack — Distributed Denial of Service — is the Lowest Form of "Hack" that, a Person Can Undertake, essentially the Digital Equivalent of Setting a Bag of Dog Poop on Fire and Leaving it on Someone's Front Porch. Worse, actually, because at least the Poop is Only Going to be Stomped on by One Particular Person, Who's presumably Caused you Some Sort of Irritation; a DDoS Attack is Tedious, Indiscriminate Jerkery that Accomplishes Nothing. Ok, Got that Off my Chest. No Other Information about the Attack has been Released but, I've had Trouble Reaching the Quake Live Site Myself this Afternoon: Sometimes it will Load and Sometimes the Connection Simply Times Out. A Bethesda Rep Echoed the Message Posted on the Quake Live Website, Saying, "The game will be down intermittently as we address the DDoS attack" but, Offered No Suggestion as to When the Matter Might be Resolved.




We'll Let you Know if and When we Hear More.

**UPDATE** #2


id Software Says that, "QL is back up, we are monitoring it for further attacks. If you have problems connecting, you may need to flush your DNS cache on your router and computer".
