Distributed
denial of service attacks (
DDoS) have wreaked havoc with online gaming sites over the last week. Full Tilt Poker, Titan Poker, Virgin Games and a few others sites have been experiencing major connection problems. In total there have been more than 30 websites attacked over the last week. Full Tilt Poker and some Russian gambling sites have been hit the hardest.
Most of the information is coming from articles written by shadowserver.org, a non profit volunteer group that monitors Internet security issues. Without getting too technical, they pretty much confirmed that these website were under attack.
There has been no official response from Full Tilt or any other online gaming site, but the problems as of this writing still continued. There is also no motive for these attacks.
We'll keep you posted on this story should anything develop.
