Looked like a planned attack (Ubisoft servers)

Hopefully some people will see prison time for this kind of stuff.

I doubt it. It's hard to get prosecutions against big companies like Ubisoft. ...oh, wait, you mean...

If those guys would be smart enough to see that the long term damage is to their own disadvantage. But some people never learn from history, even if it repeats itself every year (like the DRM/cracking race).
I would have liked them to ignore SHV entirely, not even cracking it. Then the sales would have told us a little about (casual and old) customers' tolerance of OSP/DRM and the importance of product state for their buying decision. It simply is just totally nuts what they are doing now. I wonder whether they all went to school in Rhode Island.

Pretty high-tech stuff. Planning the attack in Piratebay's comments and executing it using PING and it actually works?

It´s the perfect excuse for UBI... We are under attack !!
 ........but we use a very small server to save money and banwith for another games and we are not interested in SH players and no mention about traffic and thousand savegames up and down

I´m just wondering...
How many "pingers" one must gather to get those kind of server down?  Wow, I must say I´m quite impressed I´m guessing the pirates wont stop until UBI drops DRM or start legal procedures against them |

Yeah, if a bunch of guys reading a thread somewhere can "ping" Ubisoft to a halt (unless, of course, the collective readership of said thread is greater than the entire Subsim community), then, yeah, it looks like there'll be a lot of problem times ahead for Ubisoft...

It's not like there isn't looooads of simple software products about that can
be installed on a server to prevent DOS attacks. Even some domestic anti-virus packets have it.

Sure it's not a hoax? Could just be a handful of jokers throwing more confusion into the mix. *shrug*
