[SirMossyBloke]

Lmao.

Probably the worst group of script kiddies yet. I heard their next big job was taking down the wifi at their local McDonalds.

 

[R_thanatos]

Lol well if not for this thread I wouldn't have realised.

I wish this group the same success as lizard squad meaning plenty of jail time

 

[Coonce]

don't give them attention...

 

[Stone Ocean]

Serious operation.

DDOSing.

Pick one.

 

[BigEmil]

Feel bad for those 10 people

 

[Possumowner]

Ugh,why just why

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Umm, but why?

If you're going to do this sort of shit why not target like a company that's actually done something?

 

[belushy]

Ugh,why just why

To teach steam a lesson, obviously.

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's not even down, they're just making logging in take more than one try.

 

[DarknessTear]

Never got booted once. Pls.

 

[ChrisD]

such serious
much hack
many squad

 

[JP]

This is a serious operation.

I'm pretty sure that if it was a serious operation they wouldn't really need to say that because it would be self evident.

 

[RK9039]

It's down is it?

 

[Dusk Golem]

I've been using Stream for the last hour with absolutely no problems.

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Um Steam is online and fine for me...

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

ah so that's why i couldnt log in in my first couple of tries

 

[chromatic9]

Steam up during Phantom Squad's serious DDOS attack on Nov 3

 

[31GhostsIV]

I'm getting Butters/Professor Chaos vibes from this.

 

[Mozendo]

I wasn't kicked off steam since I decided to appear offline, but since it seems Phantom Squad are hardworkers they can count that.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I guess much like older gentlemen, they couldn't keep it up.

 

[Ricerocket]

Steam has been online all day so far today during this supposed DDOS.

 

[CyberPunked]

Is it meant to be down now?

 

[Giever]

Didn't notice at all. Seems like it barely affected anyone.

 

[Geedorah]

This has to be the most ineffectual DDoS I've ever seen - just logged in and out of Steam for the lulz, and it worked fine ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Holy Order Sol]

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

It's a serious operation!

 

[low-G]

Every time a wannabe hacker kid tweets something it doesn't deserve a thread. (take a lesson from their parents, don't give them any attention)

 

[The Dude]

Kids are so fucking stupid these days, I'd beat the fuck out of every one of them given the opportunity

 

[inky]

Their definition of down was me not being able to see my inventory for 15 minutes.

 

[Durante]

It's silly enough to be proud of your DDOS'ing when it actually works.

When you claim to take something down entirely for a day and then the result is that it's slightly wonky for a subset of users for half an hour then I lack the words to describe just how silly it is.

 

[alexbull_uk]

"This is a serious operation."

LOL. Did anyone even notice they'd done anything? I've been online on steam all night.

 

[Tik115]

"Go play on your consoles or something"
*Looks at installed Steam games*
*Counts at least 40 of them which don't require Steam to be online to work*
"....How about you learn to DDoS good?"
*Fires up X3: Terran Conflict*

 

[Joseph Merrick]

babbies first ddos

 

[SmokedMeat]

Play my consoles? Uh...no losers. I'll just fire up something on Origin, GoG, UPlay, or Blizzard.

Edit: Wait...it's not even down?? Hahahahaha!

 

[Braag]

lol, those tweets are killing me.

 

[PinkCrayon]

embarrassing.

 

[freshVeggie]

"Down for the day"

It didn't go down once for me.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Good grief.

What the fuck?
"Play on your consoles"?

People take their video games way too seriously.

 

[Raticus79]

More like phanthom squad

(Had to reference my obscure namesake one of these days... good enough)

 

[Lister]

whatever you say

https://my.mixtape.moe/hvzwhy.webm

Where's this from? Looks interesting.

 

[Vibranium]

Go after the Windows 10 Store or something instead, kids.

 

[banefirelord]

Steam is working A-OK over here.

 

[Diancecht]

Phantom Squad haha.

 

[Marow]

At the very least they're staying true to their name as phantoms.

 

[~Cross~]

More like vaporware squad

 

[GoldandBlue]

lol these kids

 

[Celcius]

Spoiler

someone please arrest them
