Can some network guy explain to me why the STO server randomly lags?

This has happened a couple of times these past couple of days, and I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this.
Are the STO servers just getting DDOS'ed or is my ISP routing me through a horrible bundle of connections?
I sincerely hope for the sake of the game that Cryptic's servers are not the problem here. I'm not quite sure why I get massive connection lag in a massive MMO game designed to handle hundreds of thousands of people.

Yes.
It sucks, and unfortunately there's not much we can do about it but wait until the d-bag gets bored and stops.
Would something like cloudflare or other similar DDOS protection tools work for an MMO? I also really appreciate the dev attention.
x = y
where
x is the number of persons trying to play STO
and
y is the number of persons who'd love to put the beatdown on individual(s) behind this DDOS attack
Anyhow, thanks to Trendy for taking the time to reply, and keep us informed.
Oh wait...
Sorry, my bad.
Should this thread get the treatment the others like it already have?
I meant "beatdown" within the game. I did not and would not suggest RL violence. That would be morally reprehensible.

Sunday evening (yesterday) and late this afternoon, I got the red numbers, server not responding and got kicked out. Best thing to do is quit for a couple of hours.
There are always other things to do

Doing other things would require me interacting with real people. You are all figments of my imagination.

But it solves so many issues
That is why humanity is doomed.
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
Oh well... time to wander the Commonwealth Wasteland and comeback to STO later tonight or tomorrow evening...
EDIT -
I got booted out and it seems STO is being patched right now.
Don't forget about all the other games Cryptic has.
Whats so bad, is some people only understand the "violence". I have witnesses that first hand, its useless, but in their mind, its o.k..
And he/she has Justin Bieber/Miley Cyrus music pumped into their cell 24/7 non-stop
The problem, beauty, and elegance of violence as a solution is if it doesn't work you simply need to apply more violence until it does work.
The only violence needed in this case is having a Flowers by Ingrid van or three roll up to the kid's house and take one dependent off the parents' taxes and put them on everyone else's for a few years.
Or Cryptic could extend the very latency sensitive Omega Particle based event by however many days this TRIBBLE manages to collaterally damage it as his temper tantrums are coming close to coinciding with the once and done ship grind and the grind to get upgrades without paying an arm and leg for quality increases.
It's people like that, claiming that it was Cryptic's servers that are annoying, tbh. Servers are rarely the problem in a DDoS attack; the problem from a DDoS attack is almost always the DDoSer or the specific DDoSer squad (For example... Lizard Squad.
I'd just like to see the guy responsible for this go one round with Holly Holm, Ronda Rousey, or Cat Zingano.
And no, I'm not contradicting myself; UFC is sport, not violence.
To be fair, I can see how some people would assume it's just another symptom of the persistent "regular" lag issues.
If there wasn't constantly latency issues with the game, people would probably be more apt to suspect something more is going on when this nonsense happens.
