I find it a funny coincidence that I was in the top 5 just now, had a squad pinned down, and then just suddenly my server was lost. If that was the case, I completely stand by what I said earlier about how the game is out to get me. Also a big fat F U to hackers and cheaters, I hope you all get a paper cut on your tongues (if I was hacked that is)
@DaDeDimson Not as common as you would think, but not rare enough that you've never experienced one. DDOS attacks require having access to a ton of compromised devices. It's not like downloading a aimbot that you can use. You have to be fairly tech savvy to set one up and execute one. Most people can't.

Sadly this is wrong and more common than you think. There are tools like low orbit ion cannon that make Ddossing really easy.
The issue is that you cannot protect servers from this. Due to this corona pandemic, some script kiddies grab to this kind of thing when they rage or want to exploit things.
But they don't understand that a denial of service attack can carry up to 10 years in prison.
I don't know if this guy is reliable but apparently they caught a popular "Apex news/leak youtuber" DDOS attacking pred lobbies. Good thing is that I haven't experienced this yet since I'm just the seasonal plat/Diamond IV player.
