Anarchy Online: DDoS vs AO

We are working to determine the precise source of the attack and are in contact with the relevant law enforcement and technical authorities in order to minimise future disruptions. We will of course continue this work with all the relevant authorities to take whatever legal action is appropriate against those parties responsible for these malicious disruptions.

In the interim we would like to assure all our players that our server team is continuing to use all available means to minimise the threat from these third parties. Unfortunately these attacks may continue and we regret that due to the ongoing nature of our investigations we cannot provide any specific estimate as to when we expect the situation to be completely resolved. We will though be implementing as many additional security measures as we can to limit the effectiveness of these attacks against our servers.

It has also come to our attention that various parties may have been attempting to distribute invasive 'Trojan' virus files to the online gaming community. We would like to take this opportunity to remind our players to be vigilant against such threats to their home computers.

We sincerely apologise for the disruption caused by these attacks recently and we ask for your understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain the best service we can under the circumstances.

Thank you.
