Summary
Minecraft players eliminated from Squidcraft Games due to DDoS attackA multi-day DDoS attack coinciding with a highly-anticipated Minecraft tournament left the entire country of Andorra without access to the internet last week.The DDoS campaign targeted Andorra Telecom, the country’s sole internet service provider (ISP), and resulted in the elimination of a number of Andorran players from the competition.Although the identity of the culprits is yet to be confirmed, some suspect the attack was orchestrated with the express goal of affecting the participation of Team Andorra, whose players were robbed of their shot at the $100,000 prize pool.The Minecraft tournament in question, Squidcraft Games, is part of a series of online competitions hosted on popular streaming platform Twitch.
