When was the last week where there were no days the servers went down or had severe lag?

Hi all, just following up here. Thank you again for flagging the connection issues. These connection issues were due to bad actors and we have taken the appropriate steps for mitigation. You may see some latency impact due to the mitigation, but wanted to make sure you were kept in the loop as we resolve this. Thanks.

I thought this was another disgruntled tank complaining about "fake dps" thread

So regarding the bad actors, this cropped up today elsewhere:

https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/03/massive-botnet-that-appeared-overnight-is-delivering-record-size-ddoses/

"Eleven11bot has targeted diverse sectors, including communications service providers and gaming hosting infrastructure..."

This is a massive botnet built on compromised cameras and video recorders left accessible, with many of those located in the US. This is your reminder that there is no security in IoT (Internet of Things) - if you have a camera or video system accessible on a public IP address, there's a chance that your device could be part of the botnet disrupting your gaming.

Advice from the bottom of that article (emphasis added):

"In any case, anyone running any sort of IoT devices should position them behind a router or other form of firewall so they're not visible from outside a local network. Remote administration from outside the Internet should be enabled only when needed. Users should also ensure each device is protected by a strong unique password. Last, devices should be updated as soon as security patches become available."
