So what the hell's the point of this? Assuming yesterday and apparently today are DDoS attacks, then why? Are these guys trolling just because they can and want to screw with people, or do they have some kind of half-assed "message" they're trying to get across?

DDoS Officially KILLED STEAM!!!! STEAM IS ALL DOWN!!!

Yesterday's incident had absolutely nothing to do with DDoS... Do you even know what that means?

Valve even confirmed that there was a caching issue yesterday. No sign of DDoS.
Comment has been collapsed.
Um, yes I do - do you know, or do you just know how to act like a dick? From what I was reading yesterday the page caching issue was the result of a probable DDoS attack. If you have new information that proves DDoS wasn't responsible, then post it.

That's just more stupid nonsense. A DDoS blocks you of accessing the servers because the overload, so, if it was a DDoS attack, how people could still browse steam?

You know I know jack shit about networking, i'm just posting what i stumbled upon yesterday and with the same happening every year to PSN (not sure about Xbox live I think it's the same tho) it didn't seem that far fetched.

You know I work with that everyday :p If there's something that can't be, it's a DDoS.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, actually I had two "incidents" with steam yesterday. Earlier on the day, everything was slow and didn't want to load. I googled a bit around at that point, and many places talked about that DDoS by SkidNP. It was first later on that this cache-thingy happened.

Keep in mind that i'm just gamer and not very knowledgeable about this stuff.
DDoS attack, in very simple terms, is a lot of computers trying to access a website at the same time, all servers have a limit to their capabilities in small numbers let's consider 1000 users. If a DDoS attack gathers 2000 users the server can't answer all of their users and become unavailable to the "normal users".
If a DDoS affected steam you would not be able to access the steam store. What happened was that we were accessing pages that were not supposed to be stored on the server side.

Here is a comment from steamdb that it probably was not due to the DDoS. Here is a person who actually knows what he is talking about in regards to these issues who speculates on what actually caused it. Ibtimes claims that the problems were not related to the DDoS attack. They have this quote from valve:
As a result of a configuration change earlier today, a caching issue allowed some users to randomly see pages generated for other users for a period of less than an hour.
Which states that the issue was due to a configuration change.

They are probably demanding free Hot Pockets (I hate those things, but hackers on TV and movies seem to love them)

Not ddos, just plain old valve ineptitude™
Stop trying to blame others for your heroes failings. Valve is the one fucking up here.
Comment has been collapsed.
What, because I'm not busy sucking gabes dick? With you fanboys its always someone else's fault, you're precious valve could NEVER be negligent... give me a break.... roll over so that valve can stomp on the other side of your face while you say 'thank you, here, have more of my money'. You lot and your blind ignorant devotion to valve.... you're pathetic.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why are you using such horrible language and being insulting? People are free to guess whatever they want as the reason for the breakdown. It's really not a reason to be so very rude to people.

I do understand your reaction, being attaked because someone misinterpreted your words is never nice. Though, let's be honest, being called a jackass isn't a good feeling either and usually does provoke one further ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
hey, hes the one that called me a jackass for pointing out what a ridiculous fanboy he is for rabidly defending valve and refusing to accept that they screwed up. He's the one who started with the horrible language... its pathetic to have people like him standing up and refusing to hold valve accountable for their total lack of regard for our private information... its like in his eyes valve can do no wrong, and i make no apologies for calling him out on that bs. If EA pulled this crap, people like him would rip into them... but when valve does it? he plugs his ears and yells from the rooftops how its everyone elses fault other than his precious gabe.
Valve fucked up, and i have no idea why you would defend people who say that its not valves fault...
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you misinterpreted his words and acted rather harshly.
I don't see any of his assumptions as defense of Valve. He just came to the same conclusion, as did I, and reacted to it. I too at first thought it was a hacker attack, as did many people, because of the articles that were going around the web and what people were weriting here on several threads. And it has nothing to do with any kind of fanboyism. I am just not highly educated in computer sciences and I do not know how a server reacts under which conditions so I can only rely on what others, more knowledgable on the topic, tell me. My expertise lies in a couple of different areas and there's no shame to it. I'm guessing the case is quite similar with him.
Do I have any emotional attachments to Valve, EA, PSN or any other company? Not in the slightest. I care more deeply about H&M xD
I'm sure you're really quite a lovely person and your overreaction has more to do with the day you were having and the anger about your personal info leaking out than anything else (and trust me, I'm not at all happy about that either), but lashing out at people is really not the answer.
Also, even if he, or anyone else, does deeply love Valve or any other company and feels the need to jump to their defense, it's their business and getting upset about it does absolutely no good for you. Think of yourself first and do yourself a favour by not reacting to it. This is the internet and arguing won't do anyone any good or make the slightest bit of difference. You'll just get upset over a person, or things, that don't really matter to you and that just doesn't make sense, does it? :)
As for the vocabulary, even if you want to speak up and disagree, you can do so and still remain polite. No one will think lesser of you for keeping things civil. If anything, people will respect your opinions and you as a person more.
Again, I'm sure you're a cool guy and it's just that this situation got the better of you :)
And remember, saying sorry is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of self-growth <3

No, trust me - you're the only one around here who's pathetic. I never defended Valve against anything, all I did was ask what reason hackers might have for attacking Steam, basing my assumptions on what I read in multiple articles and forums yesterday. Meanwhile you take the time to become comically enraged, hurling profanity, sexual slurs and insults at a complete stranger who didn't even do what you're accusing him of. I think you need to take a long, hard look at yourself, your life, and how you conduct yourself with other people, and I would suggest you make some real changes. But that's as far as you concern me - you're really not worth any more of my time.

The hell are you talking about. you're blaming a ddos for valve screwing up. You're trying to shift the blame, you refuse to accept that its not hackers that caused this. You're the poster-boy for the typical disillusion valve fan-boy who refuses to believe that valve could possibly 'fail'. But hey.. keep on believing in your saint gabe, and trying to distract away from your pathetic cheerleading.

It's not DDoS, it would display a 4xx error then. It is the usual Valve servers cannot coping with themselves error we always get when they put more than a couple hundred indie games on sale.
As for your question: last year they had a message of people should hang around less online and spend the holidays with families. This year their short-lived atack had the message of "we are totally serious hackerz (with a z, biatches!) because we know how to hire a botnet for lulz".

I'm assuming they're doing security maintenance on the community servers. Nothing bad.

Two times in a year on Psn and every day on steam... Steam still has so much too improve
Comment has been collapsed.
Every day? That statement is clearly based in your fanboysim because this is the first time in months that Steam has problems, at least for me.
Anyway, yes, Steam needs to improve a lot of things.
Just curious, I assume you don't like PC gaming that much, so, what are you even doing here?
Comment has been collapsed.
No problems in months? You clearly dont use steam much. I use psn and steam every day, and steam gets unusable at least 3x time more
Comment has been collapsed.
As someone else who uses both, you're all ****s
Steam has downtime and some security problems.
PSN has downtime and some security problems.
Also, be careful about some of the articles you take as truth, they aren't always accurate. Remember, they are there to make money through advert hits.
Calling one #### a fan boy while being a %%%%ing fanboy yourself doesn't help your 'arguement'.
Seriously, Steam has had several lengthy periods of downtime, and may I remind you of that time anyone could bypass SteamGuard earlier this year?
