DDOS Attacks: Unexpected Foe for Destiny 2 Gamers

The game Destiny 2 is currently facing one of its most severe crises ever experienced. This crisis, however, does not revolve around player complaints regarding mundane issues like boring seasons or broken loot. Rather, Destiny 2 has been rendered almost inaccessible for a week now, due to relentless Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks. Bungie, the company behind the game, has confirmed the existence of these attacks despite their usual reluctance to publicly acknowledge such incidents.

Unfortunately, Bungie has been unable to regain control over the situation. While players may still be able to access the game for a brief period, disconnections are an ever-looming threat, whether during a crucial raid boss encounter or while engaged in combat with enemies. Many players have opted to abstain from playing until this problem is resolved, yet the timeframe for finding a solution remains uncertain.

Illustrating the game’s instability resulting from the DDOS attacks, the Steamcharts graph for Destiny 2 resembles the erratic pulse of a critically ill patient. In contrast to the typical stable gameplay schedule, the line depicting Destiny 2’s current status is dishearteningly volatile.

It is difficult to ascertain the exact timeline for mitigating the aftermath of these attacks. Numerous players have expressed their dissatisfaction with Bungie, criticizing the lack of effective measures to prevent such DDOS attacks. Meanwhile, there are rumors circulating that attribute the cause of the attacks to a “faulty server technology” employed by Bungie. However, this possibility seems unlikely. Presently, Bungie’s top priority is restoring the game’s stability and preserving the loyalty of its player community.

Fighting against DDOS attacks is undoubtedly challenging, especially when it comes to identifying the culprits responsible. Bungie has previously taken legal action against various individuals who inflicted harm upon the game and its community, encompassing cheaters and copyright infringers. Nevertheless, the current attack has proven to be more damaging than any other, primarily targeting the game itself. Although DDOS attackers have occasionally faced prosecution, such occurrences are virtually unheard of within the gaming sphere.
