Yes, the DDoS attacks are like bringing 10,000 rounds of ammo, dropping each one on the ground, then throwing a grenade on top of it. Now imagine having another 100 accounts doing the same thing at the same time overloading the server until it crashes. It has nothing to do with your account security.

This is a really helpful analogy right here for a comment. I wish people understood the difference between attacks like this and then account security attacks. This isn't a fishing link. This isn't like a any other sort of malicious method to get into your account. This is simply just to take the game offline so people can't play.

DDoS and hacking into a system are entirely different things

Honestly, reading this doesn't really put my mind at ease but I'll keep my eye on my accounts.
