Zeh Hamsters Are Not LulzCannon Proof

So the EVE Online servers seem to have just gone poof, the explanation is simple, the hamsters aren’t LulzCannon proof:

We just wiped out the login server for Eve Online, and it accidentally took their website out at the same time: eveonline.com

- LulzSec

This was a random attack, they were taking suggestions for targets, and apparently someone suggested EVE Online. Now your account data is safe, as they merely crashed the servers by overloading them with a massive amount of requests, which means they don’t actually have access to the servers.

Some people seem to be saying that LulzSec is just claiming they did this while it was down due to other reasons not related, yet everything they listed on Twitter as something they targeted was actually down (And I doubt 4 websites can coincidentally be down at the same time, and get noticed by 1 entity).

P.S.: Yes I do get enjoyment out of this.

Update (14 Jun 7:13PM EVE Time)

CCP has taken down all the servers to investigate the attack, this may indicate something more severe happened, or it is just another display of CCP’s stupidity.

Update (14 Jun 9 11:24PM EVE Time)

Tranquality is back online, and CCP has confirmed it was a DDoS and no security breach was detected (source)

No doubt they were objecting to the lack of jazz space horse in the game…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKBM0OFHps4

  Would be a nice idea for the in-game billboards, complete with sound transmitters of course ^^

    The Horse is weirdly addictive… but on the plus side looks like CCP are just doing a full post attack wrap up to ensure that theres been no issues. I would expect the servers to be back soon – as a side note looks like Lulz also hit minecraft & the escapist.
    
    I do have to question (as I do often do in my own head) the competency of some of the people at CCP – why on earth their “web server” is so tightly coupled to the rest of the virtual world operations is beyond me.

      I’m surprised that pretty much everything went down when only one specific thing was hit indeed.
      
      And yes I know they also took down Minecraft, etc. I follow this quite closely

@lulzsec
cease fire lulzfags,
i dont know what you hoping to achieve with this blatant attack on gamers and their lulztime, some of which im sure have supported lulzsec in the past.
go attack someone who deserves it
i did support u guys, no longer.

TL;DR
i play eve + i support lulzsec = i am disappoint…
No

since the database is gone, the game is gone, but the webservers where partially available (showing the database as gone) its exactly NOT looking like too many requests.

  And where did you get this information?

I seriously question anyone who “supports” hackers. What is there to support or admire? They’re sad digital cowards. But, hey, if you really want more government control of your internet, go ahead an support the hackers.

  Supporting them and laughing about their actions are two different things.
  
  Also, I do not necessarily support them, I’m just glad that the poor security even high-profile companies have is finally getting exposed and reported on (This is unrelated to DDoSing though)
