Hi there, Ubisoft apparently got a DDoS on their DRM servers [1], causing legitimate players of Assassins Creed II etc. being unable to play their games. (as the new DRM system requires constant connection to the servers) - I assume pirated copies ran fine, of course...
Is there any information who was behind that attack? Some people angry about the DRM wanting to make a point, or criminal botherders trying to extort money from Ubisoft? What are the best strategies to defend against such an attack, except of course not creating such a stupid thing that has a large sign reading "DDoS ME!" built into it and pisses of a lot of people at the same time? Some people claim that attacks were announced "on IRC, in Usenet and on the Steam forums" - can anyone confirm this and/or provide message IDs?
