Even while hacking group OurMine took the credit for a DDoS attack on “Pokémon GO” on July 17, bringing down the game’s servers for several hours, another lesser-known hackers’ collective called PoodleCorp claimed it had also launched a DDoS attack on the game’s servers on July 16. While the claim could not be verified, many users had reported problems in reaching the servers that day.
They also put a reminder on their Facebook page that said: “Get ready! A couple of hours till August 1st. #PoodleCorp #PokemonGO.”
The hacking group has come into the limelight recently after it took down some prominent YouTubers, and users on Reddit, participating in a discussion titled “Who is poodlecorp??” did not seem to reach any conclusion behind the group’s motivations.
After the July 16 DDoS attack, Mic spoke with XO who told the website: “We take the servers offline because it is popular right now and nobody can stop us. … We do it because we can, nobody can stop us and we just like to cause chaos. We chose August 1 so we have time to relax and not care about doing anything.” For the full article click here
