Electronic Arts, EA Servers Down? PoodleCorp claims it DDoSed Gaming Giant – Hack Read

EA sports servers are down and gamers are furious on Twitter — About 11hours ago, PoodleCorp did claim responsibility of DDoSing EA servers.

The gaming giant Electronic Arts (EA) is currently experiencing an outage in which EA games, services and support have been impacted.

Those gamers who are unaware of the situation should know that earlier, a hacking group PoodleCorp claimed responsibility of conducting a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on EA games’ servers however that was about 11hours ago. It is quite possible that the group has restated attacking EA servers.

EA is currently experiencing an outage. EA games, services & support may be impacted. We’re working to resolve as fast as possible.

Who is PoodleCorp?

PoodleCorp is a group of hackers and DDos attackers who previously hacked some top YouTube channels including WatchMogo, Redmercy, LeafyisHere, and LillySingh. The same group conducted a series of DDoS attacks on several other gaming giants including Blizzard and League of Legends, Pokemon Go, Grand Theft Auto (GTA) and PlayStation servers.

On the other hand, about 12 hours ago Blizzard games also tweeted that they are monitoring a DDoS attack on their server however it is still unclear if PoodleCorp was behind the attack or some other group.

[#Warcraft] The DDoS from earlier is no longer affecting gameplay. We’re working on an issue with DCs during loading for our Oceanic players

[#Bnet] We’re currently investigating a new DDoS event that is impacting player connections. Updates to follow!

EA has yet to confirm exactly who was responsible for the server downtime.
