DDOS attacks (Nope, network issue)

You know, I think the STO servers have been victim to DDOS attacks. There are a couple of groups doing using it on MMO login servers lately.

For those that don't know, it means that the login servers are being bombed with junk data. They fill up, and crash.

The point of the attack? Nothing. Just hateful boredom. Maybe a sad attempt at getting validation?

    Would that validate the 8-10 hours it took to get it back up the other day?

    I thought WoW's forums had angry elitist snobs, but I never could have imagined the level STO forums has.:confused:

    Nope. Three words. Lack of infrastructure.
