OurMine, a hacking group has come out to take responsibility for recent complaints by Pokemon players of the servers outage, this hack group that had attacked and compromised the social media accounts of many celebrities said on monday that they were responsible for the server outage.
They attacked Pokemon Go's login servers with a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS), ths making many of the players frustrated as they were unable to login to the game according TechCrunch.
According to the group, "No one will be able to play this game till Pokemon Go contact us on our website to teach them how to protect it!" the group wrote in a post on its website. An OurMine member told TechCrunch that he or she is part of a three-person group of teenagers and that the team is trying to spread the word about security.
The group said that it is promoting stronger security and that "if it did not hack celebs and DDoS popular games, someone else would. We don't want other hackers attack their servers, so we should protect their servers," the OurMine member explained. To read my earlier post on how ddos works, go DDOS.
