Pokerstars suffers second server outage during recent WCOOP

[MattRyder]

I was just able to log in but not interested in playing anything with this going on. No doubt that’s the hacker’s intent.

Well that leaves you still at 380 opposed to 120 before? 🤪

I had 120 chips left when it crashed and the game was stopped. Then, on the screen, I and the other two players again had 500 chips, but there was no game. After that, I decided to restart the program and could not log in for some time. When I managed to enter the game was over.

Very unfortunate what has been happening, I am very sad that these problems happen to poker stars. It is time that these problems are taken very seriously, since it affects the entire community. I hope they resolve, since it is not easy, all this that has been happening to them. We must be aware and understandable with all this problem, which affects us all.

It is not the first time nor will it be the last time that this happens, that the poker stars platform suffers a crash in its servers, it is known that they have been attacked by hackers, the truth is that this harms all players, it is not easy to deal with these cyber attacks, I hope that in the future, try to prevent it from happening.

When a great online poker room like pokerstars crashes , it is strange . Bad what happened , but on the good side they haven't cancelled the big WCOOP events , they just rescheduled them . And there is plenty of time to qualify for them

 

[Gallarado777]

Yes, recently pokerstars has begun to let players down and many players have moved to other poker rooms, sadly, fewer people

 

[Mati532]

let's get used to this happening, lately if I remember correctly in the last month it has already happened 2 times

 

[heguli82]

This is just because there are too many memories

Well it didn't happen while I was playing, I think it was some instability

 

[spectralwave]

PokerStars explained that it was the victim of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which led to the site's service interruption, but did not affect players' accounts and personal information. “These attacks often go unnoticed by customers due to the investment we’ve made in our security systems and the layers of protection we have to successfully repel them.”

 

[budweiser74777]

yes yes - these hackers are creating a lot of problems

 

[budweiser74777]

I attack them all the time - it starts to annoy ((((

 

[juan1579]

It's sad that this will happen in the middle of WCOOP, what can't be denied is that in recent times Pokerstar has had a lot of flaws, and they always say they are attacks

 

[TerryBLE]

Stability is important... I hope everything gets back on track soon.

 

[budweiser74777]

this is very annoying and annoying...

 

[legend309]

Again eh, well good thing I barley pkay on stars anymore

 

[KrazyKoo]

Lots of DDOS attacks or server outakes lately. One in unibet, multiple in 888 and now Pokerstars too.

 

[EmptyHouse]

The Russians take revenge for not being able to play.

 

[samuri]

Sad when cyber hit anyone. They all want cash for no work.

 

[Poker Orifice]

can we close this thread? This happened over 2mos. ago.
fwiw, to the doubters who aren't believing it's DDOS attack, this sort of thing happened more frequently years ago on all of the sites (for a brief period). Apparently the sites have gotten much better at blocking them now.

It took a while for this WCOOP to end , with all these interruptions lol
