DDos + Minecraft?

Not sure if anyone here plays or even cares about minecraft, but I bet you will grind your teeth and feel a little bad if someone was a victim of DDos, unless if that victim is Donald Trump. Around 2 P.M. EST. A big minecraft server was experiencing a heavy load. *insert provocative joke here* and went down then a couple of other big servers then the website then the smaller servers. Who was doing such a thing? Well some group, or guy, or woman, or cat (probably Linus' for him not making videos of him) took it down. *insert pun or offensive joke here* and the "super cool" name the thing has is HOIC Squad. Now who ever it was went on to twitter and bragged about it, and obviously his twitter got suspended. Seriously it's like some idiot tweeting he broke out of jail and or is selling drugs. I digress he made a new account like any sociopath would do, then it got "hacked" by some small YouTube with around 300 subs. Really shouldn't say small he's bigger than me, but I digress again. I have photos attached of the tweets the HOIC guy posted and I suggest you see them to see the type of guy this "Hacker" is. 

 

Here is his twitter also : https://twitter.com/HOICSquads/with_replies

 

Now I am not in expert in physiology or a physic but by reading his tweets and if they are legitimate he is probably not that far off from the minecraft demographic. my best bet is that he is in his teens and hates minecraft and wants to troll the people playing there. He is giving away the password to different people, the way he expresses himself in his tweets and how he also the way he is trying to cover up a story. Read his conversations they made me put on a tin foil hat.

 

Now let me put on my tin foil hat and think to the soothing noise of the X-files theme...

 

Okay back to reality. What if the HOIC squad wasn't responsible or at least the second account was faker than a super model. What if this kid wanted to get recognition, his 15 minutes of fame, and then thought he could promote his YouTube channel while he was at it. I mean think about he is an extremely small YouTuber compared to most and since when do you here a story like this?

 

Minecraft has had it's slow downs at least once a year either by maintenance or an attack and no one has really said anything until now. What if the DDoSer was some other guy and this RhysPlaysMC just thought that he could say he did it or say it's a DDos attack (Mojang hasn't confirmed yet if it's a problem on their end) and decided to stage this play to promote his channel.

 

His channel was inactive for about 9 months then he uploaded again a week ago and since he got this shout out by his other persona ,or hey maybe he did "Hack" HOIC and they are different people, and got traffic on his channel. He is getting views now he is breaking the 301+ barrier and getting attention from both sides. And think about it no publicity is bad publicity.

 

Now you may be thinking "This guy writing the article is on crack!" "He is over thinking!" "His English is horrible!" "He is causing more propaganda. He is so dumb." 

 

Well first it is late on my end. I am not on drugs just high on fatigue. Second yes, yes I am but doesn't it seem off to you there has to be a bigger picture. Third thanks my teachers say the same thing. Finally Fourth yes I will admit to causing propaganda but it seemed note worthy. I was only going to put this first paragraph but then I started thinking and made this article longer than it needed to be and if you think this news post is cancer I am sorry first new article I ever wrote and I know this will probably be deleted after a few hours. 

 

Well what do you think? Is the hack group real or fake? Did you come here for the word minecraft or DDoS? Turnip or Turnip? 

 

I am probably over thinking and you guys might think I'm insane, but thank you for seeing my article.

If this fucker is the reason that sessions servers have been on and off all fucking day....

 

Whatever has been causing it has been taking quite a toll on my server, both myself and my players have not been able to get on it except for very rare occasions all day.... (Players can't get on --> players not voting --> server going down in ranking --> less players joining..)

Hoic and Loic are both despicable programs. This is nothing more than some rejected teenager trying to get some attention. I actually feel quite bad for him, his life must be pretty shitty if he has to stoop so low as to do this, and try and put on a show about it.

Then that little shit is gonna pay...

 

I shall make it my life goal to track him down and make him pay for his crimes. (both literally and figuratively) jk lol.

 

But I hope this kid gets tracked down by the FBI or some shit and banned from computers for at least 3 years along with some other pretty hefty fines.

Whenever or not it's an individual person...we have yet to know...but it is certain someone or a group of people did Ddos the session servers...and other MC servers such as Hypixel...

Everything is starting to come back, slowly.

 

Sessions servers are still being flaky, so without that people still are gonna have a hard af time connecting.

It took me at least 5 tries to get onto my tekkit classic server earlier... and each time after it failed to connect I'd get a bad login error and have to restart tekkit.. :/
