J ai ete voir si le forum anglais de Goa marchait et j ai trouve ceci:



Morning everyone

Last night was a tough one.

Around 7.00pm GMT last night, our entire network was attacked (hacked) and this went on for about two hours. The main consequence of this attack was the downing & re-opening of our servers. We decided to shutdown our entire DAoC network to give our technical teams & Mythic’s some time to react and riposte.
The website (forums included) was also unavailable soon after the attack for security reason and was brought back up this morning.

What are the consequences of this attack?

It was a tough night for our tech teams; to trace the origin of the attack, to protect the platform and check the consequences of the attack.
For now, the attack mainly caused a “Denial of Service” (impossibility to connect to the servers and the website), the game databases were not affected.
Our logs and analysis show that the early afternoon servers “crashes” yesterday were the early beginnings of the evening attack.

The servers should be back online early this afternoon with the end of the afternoon backups.

We are already working on a solution to give everyone affected a compensation free day.

Stay tuned...
