Who ever did is a real dick.

I'm surprised they don't have DDoS protection, I'll gladly offer them some for free.

A charity? Really? Who does this!?

How in the world would playing games help a Children's Hospital?

These people are real a**holes. This helps with treating children. RoosterTeeth had $40,000 USD worth of donations before the Extra Life was DDoS'd. Hopefully they can get the site up and running again.

http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ ... theres alot of streamers that fund rise

There are many reasons why this could happen but the following two are probably the most likely:

1. Some selfish person who is against the work of the charity for whatever reason
2. A streamer who likely got rejected the chance to work with the charity for whatever reason

 

Or maybe they just did it to show off.

DDoS Attacks aren't very difficult to be honest. The only thing you are showing off is your ability to copy/run and someone else's scripts.

That would just be a DoS attack, not DDoS.

I can tell many hackers have messed up mentality but this... this is just FU*KED UP.
