GameSpy Under Attack?

Boomtown reports the recent downtime of account servers (that we have all experienced) can be attributed to a denial of service attack launched against GameSpy.

Many gamers are currently experiencing problems when trying to login to their Battlefield 2 accounts. The problems are caused by a denial of service attack on GameSpy, who're running the account servers.

This means that all of GSI services are unavailable at the moment, leaving many with having to deal with real life for the time being (scary stuff, we know). As with so many other things regarding Battlefield 2, a fix is being worked on. Supposedly, this affects other games too, but as all I’m playing for now is Battlefield 2, I haven't checked.

Unfortunately we cannot confirm these happenings at this time.
