Pokemon GO DDOSd?

in #pokemon8 years ago

       Earlier today the new Nintendo hit Pokemon GO was attacked. The hacking group PoodleCorp has claimed responsibility for the attack even though the action has not yet been confirmed. The attack caused the Pokemon servers to be down for 4 hours today! Can you imagine how many people that this upset. PoodleCorp leader then tweeted out later that this was just a little test and that they had something planned in the future that would be much, much bigger. This means that they could be planning to take the servers down for an entire 24 hours or even worse. I am sure Nintendo is looking into the situation and is trying to add more security to their servers. 

        My opinion is that I believe it may take a while before the servers get any type of "good" security mechanism.  My belief for this is that the server crash on their own very often just from a high population of players. Lots of people say that it is crazy that they were able to "hack" Nintendo, however I do not believe it was that big of a feat as I mentioned above the servers are already unstable on their own.
