Every DDoS attack towards gaming infrastructure is the largest according to news. Journalism isn't about reporting the truth, it's about sensationalism.

I've read a lot of Articles about it being a "suspected" DDoS but I haven't seen any official confirmation of this.

probbaly trying to hide/delete all of the bad things on this platform before Mr. Yach has to explain himself..

Nice conspiracy theory. How come OT still exists and wasn't wiped?

Some internet "hacker" group is going to come out and say, "We brought down Steam!" That's the entire point of DDoSes. They're not done to actually do anything other than get internet fame points.

Anyone that really wants to do something would take the time to actually hack rather than set up a botnet... or just trick people into giving away their own details.

You do know the invitation isn't a requirement correct?

I hope Valve stop these hackers soon as possible,

Sarcasm.. ever heard of it.


my reply doesn't even make sense, as the House Comitee would have all the things backed up/downloaded/archived, so deleting it hours before being asked nonsense questions doesn't make sense.

The House Committee wouldn't have anything archived.

Pretty much. We get news of a bit of an Atlantic Storm coming here to Ireland and it's Armageddon. I hate the news hence why I do my best to avoid it now.

I'm sure it's healthy for steam to be reminded they're not too big to fail :)

My personal opinion is furthermore that this was really funny.
