Ubisoft DRM Servers Crash Again, Company Blames “Hackers”

Ubisofts DRM Authentication servers crashed again today, and the company is now blaming hackers for the downtime. In their twitter account, Ubisoft blames the server downtime on unspecified “hackers” in an unspecified “attack,” a decided difference from their attempt to blame the server crash on “high demand” for their games.

If it is a case of an attack on Ubisofts servers, and just their DRM and Login servers at that, you would think the company would realize that people are unhappy with their DRM practices, however, at this time, Ubisoft is making no attempt to alter or replace their DRM. Perhaps with more attacks or other unrelated downtime, Ubisoft will come to their senses.
