If you’re a technophile, you would definitely know about the recent released game Pokémon GO that has been a success since its launch. The story behind this game went back to April 2014 fool when google sprinkled all the original 151 Pokémon around its map. At that time Niantic started working with the Pokémon Company to turn it into reality. Pokémon GO makes you cruise the real world while hunting Pokémon and locating gyms in which you will fight others! .

The first thing that comes to Niantic’s mind is that this game should aim to debilitate server issues. He was obliged to impede its global rollout so it provides additional server capacity, yet there still some days when the game won’t connect. This might be due to a hacking group called OurMine who claimed responsibility for the downtime.

It’s unbelievable that Pokémon GO is spreading faster day by day to the extent that some people will fall in a hole while they’re concentrating playing it in the street for example. It becomes an addiction for some. Niantic put out the game over additional 26 countries over the weekend which many criticized the problems caused by this over-spread release; The game actually was unreachable mostly on Saturdays, bringing up server errors whenever players tried to connect. As a result of this, OurMine carried out a DDoS attack on Niantic’s servers as a blame for the outage.

A stated by the representative of OurMine, the group’s main objective is to protect Niantics’s severs . So the best way to do so is to overflow the traffic. OurMine mentions that it will stop to attack Pokémon GO once someone from Niantic contacts them otherwise the attacks will remains until they get bored. They should be taught how to protect their servers, says OurMine. What’s happening with Niantic is similar to Lizard Squad hacks that attacked Xbox Live and PSN.

Niantic’s engineers are not likely to crawl back to some internet security rogues for security tips. Far from OurMine, PoodleCorp, a separate group , decided to schedule a Pokémon GO DDOs for august 1st hoping that Niantic will make a move toward controlling its servers .
