DDOS attack?

Being kicked out of the game repeatedly with a message that the account is logged in elsewhere? I have very tight security and hard PW. I see others have the same issue all of a sudden. We have a DDOS attack possibly?

    Troubleshoot your network first.

    Ok, consolidate your problem with the existing thread on this topic. http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/85990/repeatedly-kicked-out-of-game#latest

    Insulting me isnt the way to get your point across, I did amend my post to show that there is an existing thread. If you knew there was already forum threads for this issue, why not post with them?

    Can it be that you got keyloggers/trojans at your PC? Just to be asking.
    Can it be that they dont know your Email password and thats why they dont change your game one?

    Someone seems to be logging into your account often.

    Just calculate 1+1 together. We can write here if you think it can be.

    /edit: there is an exploit for skipping the ip security question.
    And if your Email is hacked to. Check it 1st(after cleaning your pc and changing the email password) for new ip numbers which are new.
    Then you know that someone is having access to your emails. Else they exploited that security question by an bug.

    Acting like you weren't insulting him as well seems pretty disingenuous.

    From the thread just below (or now above) yours :

    Hi, folks. Thank you for reporting this issue. If you haven't already, please try exiting the launcher completely, waiting 15 minutes, and try logging in again. Please let us know if you're still seeing this error afterwards.

    The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...

    I was making a sarcastic remark at a portion of what he said, not an insult at him. I didn't attack his person, just the written word on his chosen direction of blame.

    Erm... DDOS is something completely different than someone else getting inside your account or even a bot trying to brute force guess your password.

    But anyway it happened before, it was the first symptom of the log-in server dying

    Appreciate the advice :) but trust me it isn't on my end. My computer is like fort knox.......behind 1 S/W firewall and 1 hardware firewall and use a PW generator which I change my PW once a week.

    Ok and you are sure that you got an Internt security suite/an good antivirus to?
    Lots of newer trojans and keyloggers can skip to cheap solutions easy.
    The Firewalls may block. But 1 wrong klick can start an newer trojan which is looking for security holes.

    Updated definitions daily and I also have a program that checks specifically for keyloggers. I am very "***" about my computer security. Lets just hope its not a DDOS and something wrong with their authentication servers.

    ok. Then it is definatly an ip locating problem.
    ps.:
    TESO isnt liking proxy servers.
    An ticket with all of this information would be fine.
