Call your ISP and report the attack. What happened is a crime and if you report it quickly enough, the people who do it can and will be caught and at the very least will lose their service and be flagged as a problem for other providers in their area.

you can also report it to the fbi. Tips.fbi.gov

It is illegal but nobody seems to enforce it. Ive called my ISP before and they don’t seem to give a shit. That’s why bungie needs to be investigating reports more, right now I don’t think they look into any. I’ve just stopped wasting my time reporting.

Bearbeitet von Durandal: 6/19/2018 10:02:09 PMTell the ISP you want replaced equipment for free as it may be damaged by the attack. If it costs them money, they'll get more involved. Also, more and more providers have flood protection they can implement for households, but won't do it unless you ask. Ask. Also, I've burned a few bridges with bungie over this issue. Get vocal, message Cosmo and dmg and deej directly when you have proof of it happening, spam their Twitter with it. Make them react to it. I'd even support people who have been hit by dos attacks bringing a class action suit against bungie for not doing more to address the problem and take a zero-tolerance approach to people executing them.
-
It’s only a matter of time before the class action lawsuit happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was currently something in the beginning stages of happening.

Nothing you suggested works or gets an answer

Yea, it does. I've done it once from a work standpoint and another from a household user. On top of the guy losing all access to unsupervised internet usage, he got jail time for defrauding a charity and tax evasion from the money he was earning. But, keep up saying it doesn't ever work, defeatism surely must work someday.
-
That’s pretty cool. Neat to see someone actually doing something about I themselves instead of complaining on the forums.

This is something I understand people coming here to complain about. Unfortunately a lot of gamers just aren't tech savvy anymore and don't understand they have a handful of tools immediately available to help fight back, but they also shouldn't have to be fighting it alone. Like I've said, I've burnt some important bridges for my charity work trying to force bungie to act on this in a more definitive way. Maybe if enough people make it a more recognized issue across multiple avenues of communication we might finally get a more proactive response instead of the usually long delayed reactionary bans. If someone can show a person is regularly cheating, it shouldn't take weeks to ban them.
-
I know they should be punished and I tried once and wasted a lot of time. Continuing to care just seems waste time and we get little or no result. It’s a lot of work for one loss. It’s sad that it is that way but unfortunately it’s true. Bungie should be the ones to punish cheaters at the very least. I’ve been booted with people streaming the game on twitch and they still get away with it.
-
I look at it as more than just the loss for the person who got hit that time, but take in the scope of the number of people one cheater can hit on a busy weekend. They guy I got for attacking the hospital didn't help himself out because it was easy to compile a list of 300+ people in one weekend he attacked, and his posts for $100/person carries helped to prove a potentially unreported income stream. That adds up to a lot of people and a lot of money. Plus, I'm a tenacious pernicious bastard, it's why I have multiple degrees across a couple different disciplines and am getting another in astronomy and plan on pursuing astrophysics after that.
-
Yeah suppose. One man army 👌🏽 I don’t see a problem with people charging for carries if they play legit. It’s the people paying for it that are the problem. The people being carried by cheaters know full well the guys cheating and they continue playing with them anyway. They’re as bad as the guy cheating.

Great Advice, I will do that now :) Thank you

Also, always, ALWAYS have all logging enabled on your gateway/router, so you can see who you were connected to when these things happen. Also, after reporting it to your ISP, see if they can give you info narrowing down who actually attacked you ip-wise, then use that to figure out who in the match sent the attack, then call psn/xbl and report the username until they do something on the phone about it. If they refuse or say they aren't responsible, tell them you are filing a police and fbi report and will include what they said within it. They like to try and pass the buck since the attack doesn't come over their service, but they are still involved in the process since it's over their service that people find your IP address. This results in a user ban and even them bricking the console or issuing an ip ban if it's someone who regularly does this.

Sure sure
