My team was just DOSd on the NA servers twice. Now I know this is a known thing and it happens, but this is [b]different[/b]. I have legitimate proof, pictures, videos, comments, and reactions of the other players doing it to us.
[quote]The point here is not that they did it, [u]but the manner in which they did[/u]. I know you cannot solve this issue and change the network structure. These people did it, talked about it in the open, posted personal IPs in twitch chats, and flat out are proud about it. This is not okay on any terms.
This is an abusive relationship between a community and person's morals. In NO other community does a person brag about something of this nature and just seemingly move on. If something similar were to happen at the office you work at, that person is gone. It is not tolerated.[/quote]
I am writing this as a plea to help due to the fact that I have [u]NEVER seen a denial attack be admitted so casually and proudly[/u]. I just want to talk to someone and explain why this is ruining so many players experiences.
Once again, I get that this cannot be fixed and frankly I could care less about someone trying to deny my service. This is about the way they went about it and manner they did it. Please - I will not name shame here.

Edited by Krantzstone: 9/16/2019 9:02:25 AMThere is a solution to the problem of DDoSing players, and it's called Bungie getting dedicated servers. :P Also, law enforcement are finally going after the clients of DDoS-for-hire 'booter' sites, not just the people who run them.[quote] [b] Europol also sent a warning to the effect that law enforcement may go knock (or perhaps worse) on the doors of anybody who rents DDoS-for-hire services, “be it a gamer booting out the competition out of a game, or a high-level hacker carrying out DDoS attacks against commercial targets for financial gain”.[/b] [/quote] https://www.welivesecurity.com/2019/01/30/were-coming-global-police-tell-ddos-attack-buyers/ https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/fbi-to-ddos-victims-please-come-forward-a-10390 https://www.techspot.com/news/77969-fbi-charges-three-connection-ddos-hire-website-seizures.html https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190624005203/en/DDoS-for-hire-Websites-Comeback-FBI-Crackdown-Nexusguard-Threat Also, while you shouldn't have to do all this just to play Destiny 2, but I highly recommend playing through a VPN subscription through a reliable and secure VPN service that has DDoS protection built-in. There are a bunch of gaming-oriented VPNs now, and you can even buy routers pre-flashed with VPN firmware through www.flashrouters.com. https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/game/use-vpn-ps4-3670694/ https://www.purevpn.com/blog/vpn-for-xbox-360/ https://www.techradar.com/vpn/the-best-vpn-for-xbox-one-and-ps4
