Dota 2 is under hacker attack

Yesterday, many users encountered the ‘connected to the dota 2 game coordinator logging in error’. This is a common mistake of server disruption that is easily fixed by the developers, but the problem behind it is much serious.

Wykrhm Reddy, who is close to Valve, published on his Twitter account: ‘How I know when Steam / Dota 2 goes down for longer than 5 minutes.’

The reasons are still unknown though there is an information that the problem is connected with hacker attack on Steam servers. Apparently, Phantom Squad decided to wish Gabe Newell a happy birthday. The organization has taken the responsibility for problems with Steam and Dota 2 access. According to their Twitter posts, this was planned beforehand.

We are responsible for the attack on Steam. Since its almost winter, It should be down for the entire day.

Steam will be down for the entire day, Play on your consoles or something. This is a serious operation.

Today, Gabe Newell celebrates his 50th birthday. Some time later, the hackers decided to stop the attack

We stopped the attacks on steam. Have fun and tell Gaben we said Happy Birthday.
