CCP has taken down the servers for Eve Online and DUST 514 in response to “a significant and sustained” distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) hack, according to Eve Online’s Facebook page.
The attack was centered on web servers and the Tranquility cluster, “which houses Eve Online and DUST 514.” Shortly after the discovery of the attack, the servers were taken offline. Although briefly reinstated, servers have once again been taken down while the company continues its investigation.
According to Eve Online’s official Twitter account, servers are expected to remain offline for several hours as this process should not be rushed.
