At 17:00 GMT today, CCP became aware of a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) attack against the EVE Online cluster and web servers.

Immediately, these services were taken offline. As an added precaution all of CCP's infrastructure was disconnected from the public Internet.

The CCP Security team is conducting a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened and how, what the possible impact may be and, first and foremost, assuring that any personal information of our customers remains secure.

More information will be released as it’s available.

...but I have skills to queue.

I'd be ok with Atlas catching heat from CCP. 

Of course, I have a VERY biased opinion of them right now...

A world without eve...oh dear

We'll have to go back to watching Maury and Springer for our daily dose of drama.

This is why I want an EVE pen and paper game...

...but then again, White Wolf's website is down too.

People are genuinely starting to get angry over this whole thing, and the anger's getting directed at AtlasDOT due to a claim posted on their killboard's news section (directly copied from their site):

We would like to annouce that Atlas. has paid LulzSec to carry out the final, and most important stage of Operation: Free Shmak Datash.

TAKE THAT GM HORSE/NOVA!

I await your pitiful attempt to attack me by banning my account, fuckers.

Just Atlas trollers I doubt any legit responsibility.

Yeah, though it could also be someone who passed LulzSec their killboard login credentials as well...

EVE P&P = Traveller

Sinjin, I've been trying to get back into Traveller for AGES now... thank you for reminding me of my failure to do so

[Kyoko Sakoda]

These black hats don't seem to even understand the corporate policy that they troll. Of course anyone who gets DDoS'ed is going to take down the servers to investigate. That's a pretty stupid thing to find humorous.

[Seriphyn]

Is it me, or is going to do wonders for the anti-net neutrality movement?

No, because a lot of what governments/corporations against net neutrality want to do with the Internet is antithetical to security.

[Ulphus]

I notice that it seems to have done wonders for the posting rate on backstage...

[Casiella]

And every other EVE forum... and games popular among EVE players (e.g. WoT)...

I like to think the forced conversation brings us closer together as a community.

Er summin'.
