Heads up.... current DDOS attack underway....US and China major players

Just started a few minutes ago:

map.ipviking.com...


Mod can move if necessary... but it looks to be a huge event unfolding.


Edit looks to be dying down now but there was some pretty intense traffic going on there from 10:00-10:15pm CST.

a reply to: RickinVa

I've never looked at that site before. Is this way out of the norm?

a reply to: RickinVa

awesome to watch.

a reply to: RickinVa

That's some intense shizz right there. Kinda crazy watching it all happen.

a reply to: TerryMcGuire

This is a hoax? I've never even heard of this website.

That wasn't funny

a reply to: Darkblade71


lol reminds me of that movie War Games


Would you like to play a game?


I can't personally vouch for the site, just found it posted on the Battlenet forums.... hopefully its legit... Blizzard got hit pretty hard, lots of people bumped off line.

Edit: link to home page of company: www.norse-corp.com.... Never heard of them personally.

That site is pretty wild, I'll have to have a little look through it at a more leisurely moment. Looks quite intriguing in so many ways. Thanks for The Heads Up in this and Peace Arjuanda a reply to: RickinVa

That site looks like a nuclear attack scenario...And the US is getting hammered!

Peace

Wow it appears to be picking back up...

Looks like everybody's going after the US currently.

when the big stuff was going on... the text in the lower left box was scrolling so fast you couldn't even read it.

I have never seen a virtual simulation of a DDOS attack like that before, if it's legitimate, that's pretty cool to watch.

Hoax, Australia just sent a major attack to the US from Melbourne.
Also some US attacks are on their own cities too.

That doesn't make it a hoax.. You think they can tell the true origin all the time? Remote control of computers used as zombie bot nets?

The company claims to be able to notice and stop fraudulent credit card purchases before the money goes through. I havn't found any mainstream sources on that beyond a brief mention on yahoo.


Linky

Person quoted in that article saying this company can monitor attacks in real time seems to know her stuff.

Looks legit to me.

So, no one in AUS would attack the US?

Or Someone in the US attacking from within?

Peace

They could just be shadowing and mirroring ip addresses. It does appear that some are internal Corporate tests.

Google is loaded with results. I think it's real.

And videos people claim to have recorded off their computers:

Who knows what it is.
To post a thread under WWIII forum with alarmist headlines is very rude and as Tinker9917 points out, not funny at all.
