- Update: CCP has issued a statement to update those waiting to return to EVE Online and Dust 514.
We continue to make progress in getting Tranquility and web services back up and running. This is a very time intensive process and we estimate several more hours of work. Your patience has been legendary and appreciated.
Original Story:
Earlier this morning, EVE Online and Dust 514 developer CCP made users aware that services had been taken offline due to a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS). The company has issued a statement on the EVE Facebook page that details the response to this type of incursion.
The comment reads,
At 02:05 GMT June 2nd, CCP became aware of a significant and sustained distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) against the Tranquility cluster (which houses EVE Online and DUST 514) and web servers.
Our policy in such cases is to mobilize a taskforce of internal and external experts to evaluate the situation. At 03:07 GMT, that group concluded that our best course of action was to go completely offline while we put in place mitigation plans.
While we initially reopened EVE Online and DUST 514, we have since re-evaluated. With the highest sense of precaution we have taken Tranquility and associated websites back down for further investigation and an exhaustive scan of our entire infrastructure. We will update you more frequently via our Twitter feed (www.twitter.com/eveonline), however, an extended service interruption of several hours is expected as this process should not be rushed.
As of now, servers are still offline as CCP investigates. Source | |
