General Discussion / VATSIM Hacked?
« on: March 16, 2009, 05:37:51 PM »
I think this is getting slightly blown out of proportion.
While the situation is serious, VATSIM has not been "hacked" as such. This guy has been launching DDOS attacks against numerous VATSIM-connected servers, resulting in them becoming unstable and periodically going offline. This is the reason for the current unstability of the data and FSD servers. There is no threat at all to individual members and logging onto the network is perfectly safe.
The .net forums have been taken down as a precaution because of an attempted attack against individual members through said forum.

I just also want to note...in that this person is also attacking a site like LiveATC...he seems likely to be a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy. It's not necessarily some random hacker...it's likely someone involved with or formerly involved with VATSIM; that's the saddest part of the situation.
Yes.
