A group of hackers calling themselves DERP<\/a>\u00a0have been bringing down some of the top game servers today. By means of DDoS attacks, they have been crashing game servers and websites including Electronic Arts’ EA.com<\/a> website for a short while.<\/p>\n

Apparently, all the attacks are mainly focused on a game streamer, PhantomL0rd<\/a>, and crashing the games he usually streams. At the time of writing, police have arrived and swept PhantomL0rd’s place\u00a0as posted on his Facebook Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
