This DDOS attack puppy really grinds my gears

I'm just going to assume that they're probably kids with too much money who have rented eastern European botnets.

Same reason babies cry and people post dumb shit on Facebook; to get attention.

@darji: That really sucks but it cracked me up when he went into the "I do feel I was destined for this and I am the perfect tool..." I seriously lol'd.

This is also called "swatting" and its been around for a while.

@dudeglove:

This beats everything in the wallpaper thread.

@theht: This is fantastic. It's the little bits of fire that does it.

I'm okay with having the kids responsible for this executed after having enough information extracted out of them, because they are of no use to humanity.

I also think there should be working-camps, for those who can be of some use, set in remote caged in locations. Make a US-Foxconn-like city of assembly line workers paid zilch.

@somejerk:

I really hope you're joking and not serious.

Sigh I just want to play AC4 but they decided to attack their servers.. Sometimes I wish we had internet police, but only sometimes...

Replacing foul language with puppy is my new favorite feature on giant bomb

Well...don't know if its related but Ubisoft's servers are down. YAY. All I wanted to do tonight was play Asassin's Creed multiplayer. Guess that isn't happening.

they attacked the ubisoft servers as well?

@darji: Apparently this never happened and was all staged

Apparently!

Haha, that's fantastic.

@abendlaender: Not exactly a big surprise, it all sounded a bit too incredible.

Maaaan, thats shitty. This guy is just as bad as DERP if he threw in with them at the last moment.

What the fuck is on that kids face.

Wait what? He even had a video of these police guys even though it could be something different. As for the sub only mode. Many big channels do this because with tons of viewers it just becomes a mess and I am pretty sure with over 100k viewers there were tons of trolls as well^^

But this is really strange. I have not seen any of his streams but in his youtube video I posted he came over as a really nice guy^^
