Among Us Hit By Massive DDOS Attack But Servers Are Probably OK Now

Among Us red player

Among Us, the hugely popular m online multiplayer title, has been battling with a weekend worth of DDoS attacks, but hopefully you should be able to log in again.

Friday night is usually clocking off time for most of us but Among Us developer Innersloth had plenty to contend with that didn’t include coffee and croissants when the pop culture phenomenon was targeted with a DDoS attack over the weekend. Beginning on Friday night/Saturday morning European and North American servers for the social deduction game turned into an endless round of login limbo as players struggled to get into or past the game lobby.

After taking servers offline, the team busy putting out this online fire acknowledged the attack with a social media update describing it as ‘sabotage’.

 

With just one task, to get the servers back online, it appears that Innersloth is starting to bring matches back and the twitter account now reads “Among Us ? servers maybe ok now?” While it seems like this emergency meeting has found a stable fix, possibly, the identity of the attacker is not yet fully known, and it is not entirely certain that the incident has abated quite yet either. This is far from the first time that Among Us has been targeted by malicious intent, with a particularly nasty incident back in 2020 coming to memory. During this round of nuisance, an individual player managed to hack into millions of games adding bots, spam, and other grief to groups just trying to get their tasks completed.

While we wait to find out who exactly is sus this time around, you can keep up to date with the action via the official social channels and we hope that Innersloth is busy getting your game behind a WAF sometime soon.
