Where to report DDOS attack?

[allhomme]

As above.

I'm currently renting a game server from a local GSP. Recently I experienced mass player disconnects without the server crashing or admin initiated server reboot. After submitting support ticket to tech support, it is revealed that the server was under attack.

I want to report to the relevant authorities in order for the GSP to release the data. Where can I do so?

Call police or IDA?

unfortunately no one can help you, you're at their mercy...

 

[Alphina]

nothing they can do...

 

[GPGT.org]

unless you are able to trace the culprit with proofs and evidences else you would need DDos protection.

Could not even be targetted at you but the server in general and it could even not have originated in singapore...

You can file a police report under the Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act.

BF4 server?

 

[koicafex]

just ask the server admin to redirect such traffic?
why is the server even taking in the traffic

it's the server admin job to configure the server to redirect away such unwanted traffic

The service provider let ddos happen to the network? Wah happening ah...

I wun use that service provider again.

But to be honest there is really not much you can do. Even if you get the data and it's an organised overseas attack, as much as I would like to be proven wrong, nothing happens.

Unless you got prove that it's by a sg attacker than maybe got chance. But do check what's the policy first with the service provider about ddos and releasing data.
