BF4 PC disconnect /DoS attacks

If there isn't a thread already for this, I find navigating these forums on my phone not really working that well but that is not the issue right now.

The issue is that right now, Battlefield 4 servers are under continues attack with a new vulnerability found that makes all players loose connection to the server they are on. Behind the scenes a group of very dedicated community members is busy to find out what is happening. Turns out that the vulnerability involves an account that upon joining the server, makes all other players loose connection to the gameserver. The first account that was spotted that triggers the vulnerability was <removed>. But now the account has changed.

Please, all other server owners that experience this issues, respond here and let EA know this problem exists.

The user id has changed multiple times. Its now [Edited]and before that it was [Edited] and before that it was [edited] and before that it was [edited]and since they never actually connect to the server, banning them does nothing.

CM - Names removed from your post as "name and shame" is not allowed.

Please keep posting userids of accounts here with screenshots or logs. This will help the efforts.

Hey folks,

Locking the thread here as we cannot address these types of reports via the forums. Especially as some have called out these accounts may not be in the hands of their original owners, please report them with the steps below rather than calling them out publicly, thanks!

Naming and Shaming: No-one likes cheaters, but public call-outs can lead to witch hunts and harassment. If you suspect someone's cheating, report them through the appropriate channels.
