Recently, an "intriguing" DDoS attack was launched on a client of ours. The hacker used a peculiarity some game servers have to turn them into bots. This vulnerability is not new, it's been around for a good few years now. What is surprising here is that CoD4 admins are still falling for it and have not taken measures against it. Our client's was actually attacked by CoD4 servers and sadly only one out of ten admins knew what was actually going on. Read on admins, and take notes!
