So who followed the whole DERP thing yesterday? The end of PhantomL's stream was amazing when he got back from talking with the cops. First Online arrest of a live Twitch Streamer by the FBI I've ever seen. 6 hr response time by the American FBI in response to World-Wide multiple gaming company Troll DDOS of a single streamer. Automatic Weapons and SWAT called to his house. Truly Amazing Trolling or Criminal Masterminds. Apparently they arrested a 16 year old in New Orleans who was part of the group. They managed to take down Internap and EA along the way as well.

btw does anybody know who the person yelling "Herp Derp" in the Roanoke market last night was?

sounds like a bunch of morons, to bad one of the swat team didn't have a negligent discharge into captain script kiddys face.

that would have been something amusing to read about.

He finally figures out he's being DubTrolled around 1:25:00 after they closed down 3 games on him. They shut down all NA, Oceana and EU LoL servers, all DoTa servers, all Quake Live servers, all Blizzard servers, some EA servers, Internap and Club Penguin just to troll him.

The Hackers then released his personal information and the FBI called local police and they responded with the SWAT team after they were told that international hackers were holding him hostage somehow.

Here's him after he's been up for 24 hrs talking about what happened. People kept Trolling him by sending him Pizza all night long at the address the Hackers gave out. During his stream he broke the Twitch record for viewers at around 145,000 people watching his stream live.

I'm not really sure what the biggest fail in this is....

If someone had died, it would totally be deserving of a Darwin award.

Just think of how many of those millions and millions of LoL players had several hours of their game time killed.

Apparently some Korean Hacker/Gamers have already tried to get into DERP's twitter account in retaliation.

The funniest moment was that during the stream the group forced PhantomL0rd via Twitter to play Club Penguin to get the LoL servers back up and then crashed that game too right after he had just made his green penguin character.

He's been offline for 6 hours and there are almost 8,000 viewers going nuts in his channel's chat which makes him the 3rd biggest channel on Twitch while not even streaming.

Thanks for bumping my thread guys.

Today they took down EVEonline and all Runescape servers and it made the BBC.

What gets me is Club Penguin. Aren't those games designed for 6-12 year olds?

It was pretty funny, they told him that if he played club penguin for awhile they'd stop DDoSing the LoL servers so he logs on and creates a character and then they crashed that on him too.
