It seems a group going by the name: DerpTrolling have been responsible for a number of cyber attacks including taking down the servers of DOTA 2, League of Legends and more. Their main attention being the famous streamer PhantomL0rd. The group have been stalking, DDOS'ing and effectively cyber bulling him off any game for the course of the day, even discovering his address.
The events have even landed Phantom at the mercy of a police squad at his home.
While most servers appear to be recovering, these attacks have really highlighted the question of safety within our online gaming networks.
Known Affected:

League of Legends
Club Penguin
