Community Server Under Attack by DDOS from China
Hi EA Community Team,
With people riding the Battlefield 2042 hype train and Amazon Prime giving BF4 away, I opened a 64-slot server in Singapore out of my pocket and within a few days, am under constant DDOS attacks.
My server provider, Fragnet, has indicated your chosen backend Blaze is vulnerable to DDOS attacks and as a result, their capability of mitigating DDOS attacks is limited.
What's happening now is there are malicious parties in China who rent servers in regions they do not live in, DDOS neighboring servers and lure players into their own server which is left standing.
For example, this is the server they operate now: https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/servers/show/pc/fcc8c257-bf87-4772-9223-634395f9904a/KFC-ALL-WELCOME-FAST-VEHICLE-SPAWN-HIGH-TICKETS/
If you join their QQ group 785055467, the group admins will pressure members into paying substantial amounts of money in order to enter their server whitelist. This is no different from gangsters who set competitors' venues on fire and making money out of their illegal actions.
Please do something about this. Kicking the can down the road down to the server providers hasn't worked since 2014, and will not work again.
