hello,
Yes battlelog/DICE despite their security have allowed bf3 users (mostly on pc) to have their IP's obtained by attackers. I know this to be actually common. I got dos attacked a few days ago, it was brief and hopefully after some measures does not return. SO i decided to come here and
ask around if anyone has experienced the same thing with bf3/battlelog.
It is certain the attacks are traced back to origin ip services, i just want anyone who's experienced it as DICE didn't do the normal procedure of shutting down the service to protect the identity of their players.
So despite what DICE says atm about no user data was obtained, is false. Yes ip's are easily obtained but it is still of concern as thats identity and who knows what else was stolen. I've spoken to server admins who say not much can be done. Some i spoke too already reported of data loss. I myself only had a corrupted MBR boot. Would like if possible to get any indication of how widespread it is, just the pc users please....im sure its just battlelog pc servers.
thank you, bye.
