DDOS?

 

[Steelcryo]

dedicated denial of service attack

 

[Jónsak]

DDOS is Codename for "Sorry this is all my/Steel's fault"

 

[Legion]

First D stands for distributed i thought?

 

[Steelcryo]

Think both work, depending on if it's dedicated (on location) or distribution (multiple locations/machines)

 

[ShawnRules819]

So it means a hacker did something?

 

[Steelcryo]

no there were no hackers, its just sending information at our server and overloading its connection. Basically there was too much information for the connection to handle so no-one else could make a connection, hence everyone getting kicked off.

It could have been a DDOS, but it takes many hackers sending in data at the same time to overload a server, or DDOS it.... The equivalent to about a ton of people getting in or processing information on the server at once could have similar effects.

Legion is correct: the first 'D' in DDOS is for 'distributed', not dedicated. If it's not distributed, it's just an ordinary DOS. </securitynerd>

Looks like you've been a victim of a DDOS* yourself!
