does it happen a lot?



i dont know much about hackers can they distroy data from servers or change it some how?

for example:
 
if a player was a builder or an architect on the World of Minecraft servers is it possible he wont be after the site is up?

Its down

Its down :(

Notch:

minecraft.net is down because of what I believe is an attack.

I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but minecraft.net appears to
be suffering some kind of attack, and is down at the moment. I’m
working on fixing it.

it was hackers. here is the notch words from te blog

No, it was an attack

SYN flood, apparently. I’ve learned a lot today.

One of the lessons is “hire a linux guru”.









is it safe to log in now?
