True, there one is. I was looking more for a public press statement, but this is as original of a source. Then there is an obvious discrepancy between the Ubisoft server administrator that the above article cites and this source...

here you go, from Ubisoft's twitter feed:

Apologies to anyone who couldn’t play ACII or SH5 yesterday. Servers were attacked which limited service from 2:30pm to 9pm Paris time 3:37 AM Mar 8th via web

@onikrulz @Diogo_Ribeiro All servers were up and running but the attacks had the effect of blocking new requests from legitimate users 7:54 AM Mar 8th via web

Our servers are under attack again. Some gamers are experiencing trouble signing in. We're working on it and will keep you posted 11:45 AM Mar 8th via web

I think UBIs official twitter site is valid enough. Go down the page and read the currently first comment after the expand button.

P.S. Bilge got it covered

I noted earlier that normal Ubisoft customer activity will look to Ubisoft like DDoS attack, they are so badly prepared.

I believe that is what is happening. One little glitch at the server and many clients trying to establish a new connection and block other connections which leads to more reconnections which leads to more disconnections. avalange...

As I said above, then there is an obvious discrepancy. Hmmh, again no closer to the answer of that question than before. That's too bad. I wonder who the IT person was they cite in their article. I got a feeling that we will never really know whether it was just underestimation of server needs and a badly scheduled maintenance slot, a DDOS attack, or both.

That reminds me of a nice quote: Abraham Lincoln, memorandum dated September 30, 1862

"(In great contests, each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God.) Both may be, and one must be wrong. (God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time.)"

Nice philosophy, though unfittingly this is not a great contest but a petty question over lying or not.

Yeah, that's why I "hid" it in the parenthesis. Abe had quite a few good thoughts for his time that many modern politicians could take as an example...

Maybe no one was lying and it was just an "unlucky" combination of both. Whatever it is, Ubisoft already got through with it, for good and bad.

IT`s really quite simple folks,Ubissoft reps lie each time they open their dirty mouths.
In regard to the DRM farce.
Don`t buy from fascists ,its really easy.

Orwell wasn't some strange Jester guys,things like the DRm are made by Unethical historically ignorant uneducated people.
The mental concept has to be stopped
