Many of the perpetrators of DoS attacks are doing account recoveries, so an account ban wont stop them. You need to issue more device bans.

Edited by Nanomachines, Son!: 11/5/2018 10:07:39 PMSo true they need to ban their ip to prevent it to make them pay for a new Internet
-
Banning an IP is pretty worthless. Most people get their internet from cable providers who provide DHCP IP addresses that are CPE MAC bound not static. Which means you ban that IP doesn't really do much. I can go into my router and MAC spoof and bam new IP. All banning an IP does is make the next person to acquire the said IP potentially have issues.

IP bans wouldn’t work because the people doing this for money will be connecting through VPN. Bungie needs the security team to start associating match histories to device IDs, and ban those devices with a consistent history of wins without natch completion / DNF opponents and accessing multiple accounts from the same device.
-
Bungie should hire you at least then someone with some sense would be there.

Thanks, but I’m sure they are able better than I to connect the dots. It’s likely their policy that needs to change, and they need to issue bans on overwhelming circumstantial evidence, like what we can see it match history, instead of requiring concrete proof. You’re just not gonna be able to get that when they’re launching an attack from a third-party site.

Honestly they need to rework their reporting and ban system

True. I’m sure their system is >90% automated. If they investigated reports on the forums, they’d likely catch quite a few more.
