It looks like someone might have a bone to pick with Square Enix: Final Fantasy 14 has been hit by yet another DDoS attack on its servers today. Following the attacks on March 2 and April 12, 2024, this is the third DDoS in as many months.
Unlike the previous attacks—which focused on FF14’s European and Oceanian servers—this DDoS attack has caused a global outage across the board. Every single regional data center started experiencing connectivity issues at 8am CT, which continued for an hour and a half before the official forums confirmed the cause of the issue.
